The unit consists of a grinding head featuring a steel safety guard, which houses the belt tensioning assembly and one or two contact rollers made of grooved rubber, with a minimum hardness of 80 Shore (SH).

The contact rollers are keyed onto heavy-duty spindles which, on the outer side of the grinding unit, are aligned with the motor; the motor then drives the abrasive belt via a belt-driven transmission system. The abrasive belt length and motor power are to be defined according to the customer’s specific requirements.

The unit is supported by a 30 mm thick steel base plate, pre-drilled for easy mounting onto the customer’s lathe.

Motor pre-wired to a junction box.

This machine is typically required for use on large-scale lathes to recondition chrome-plated bars that require adjustment and the removal of surface defects. It is also used for large rollers undergoing a re-rubberizing process, where they must be ground with very coarse-grit abrasive belts to improve rubber bonding.

The machine can be supplied with a contact wheel or with the option for free-belt grinding; it is typically installed on the lathe opposite the tool turret, utilizing the automatic feed of the lathe carriage.
