Development of new devices for the sanding of wood varnished pieces with special profiles.

Objective

Now, the sanded of wood pieces with special profiles is a manual operation since machines or devices that could adapt their self to the forms of the piece do not exist. This manual operation is expensive, slow and lead to discontinuities in the sandpapering that decrease the quality of the product. In addition, each door piece has to be process separately in several production processes. The objective is to develop a new highly reliable machine with special headstocks that adapt to the contour of the piece exerting the same pressure in the entire surface. These headstocks will be of an adaptable soft material like rubber or fatty foams. Specific RTD goal is to shortened the production phase by% more and over, processing all the different pieces of the door together in single production process, so that raw materials and natural resources will behaved.
