RKS Squeegee Sharpeners
The Pneumatic clamping system (Figure 1)
Uses an adjustable bar, which - with the addition of appropriate adapters - permits the grinding of all types of squeegee blades. Squeegee blades are ground parallel to an adjustable guide.
The extraction system (Figure 2)
Extraction is carried out via the protective hood of the grinding wheel.
The linear drive unit (Figure 3)
Can be supplied on request with an infinitely variable control system. Exact grinding spindle speed control is a prerequisite for the optimum grinding of different types of squeegee blades.
Grinding spindle adjustment (Figure 4)
The RKS main grinding spindle is regulated on two levels by means of adjusting spindles. These allow the unit to be adjusted - with ease and on repeated occasions - to any grinding position.
Manual version
Adjustment is carried out by means of two control wheels, each fitted with a graduated scale ring.
Semi-automatic version
Vertical adjustment is manual, but horizontal adjustment is carried out automatically, using a stepper motor drive.
Automatic version
Adjustment on both planes is carried out using stepper motor drives. The grinding process runs automatically. Newly available, is the automatic version with laser-guided positioning.
Twin grinding belts (Figure 5)
The grinding wheel is fitted with two grinding belts of different abrasive grades, permitting rough and fine grinding without having to change the belt.
