Planar System: the revolutionary sanding system

Today we want to talk to you about the revolutionary sanding system created by EMC Italia that has changed the way we work on finishing surfaces: the planar system. Let's see together which are the characteristics, strengths and advantages of its use. 

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLANAR SYSTEM

Let's start by saying that classic sanding systems are based on three dimensions:

- conveyor belt speed
- pad pressure
- speed of abrasive belt rotation

 

 

With the new Planar® System, in addition to the standard parameters, the 4th dimension is also added, the rotation speed of the rotating unit that determines the sanding effect on the panel. This new procedure completely changes the dynamics of the sanding process because, while in the traditional one it is the abrasive belt that enters the panel, in the Planar System® it is the panel that enters the belt. This movement guarantees perfect sanding on all 4 edges of the panel, ensuring a perfect "radius edge" between edge and corner. In this way there is no longer an infeed and outfeed of the belt on the workpiece, but it is the workpiece that "PLANES" on the belt.

 

 

 

 

STRENGTHS

• Easy to use as it is an intuitive system. Simple to program thanks to the 15'4" Touch Screen located on board the machine and the possibility of saving more than 200 programs. Intuitive because, thanks to the easy-to-use graphics, the work can be perfected directly from the machine, controlling the workpiece and varying the settings with absolute speed and decimal perfection.
• Planar sanding means precision: it maintains the perfection of the design at all levels thanks to the rotary system. 
• Achieves flatness on any surface. Paint/melamine/polyester/long vein/cross vein/mosaic/Corian, etc.
• Increased Production: "piece by piece"/"door by door" sanding, thus producing more square metres of parts at the same speed .
• Reduced impact on the environment. Up to 60% of electricity can be saved.
• Optimisation of the life of the belts, which rotate to ensure uniform consumption of the abrasive belt, thus doubling its life.

 

 

WHAT DISTINGUISHES THE PLANAR SYSTEM FROM THE COMPETITION?

As we explained at the beginning of this article, the real special feature of this new sanding process is the rotation. This fourth dimension, i.e. the rotation speed of the rotary unit, which is added to the traditional dimensions: conveyor belt speed, pad pressure and sanding belt rotation speed, determines the sandingeffect on the panel.

It is an ambitious system that has no production limits, as we can testify to all our customers who have chosen to use it, and that does not require any special training thanks to the intuitive and simple system it consists of.

 

The result of flatness, compactness, speed, simplicity and economy is the Planare® System, and from all this comes the Plano, a machine created and patented to fully absorb the system.
