HYBRID grinding and deburring machine
Fladder in Denmark offers a wide range of machines for deburring , surface finishing , edge rounding and lacquer grinding ( including manual , automatic and specialised machines ). Surface treatment machines include processes such as grinding , brushing , polishing and deburring . Its automatic machines are equipped with advanced features such as programmable control systems on several models , energy-saving system options and the ability to add multiple workstations to its HYBRID and LS machines .
“ This makes it possible to perform multiple steps of the process on a single machine , saving users time and money ,” explained the company .
The Fladder ® HYBRID grinding and deburring machine is designed for grinding workpieces that require calibration grinding on the surface and rounding of edges . Workpieces are advanced on a common conveyor belt through the two grinding processes .
“ To achieve optimum cycle times for the two very different grinding processes and avoid unintended heating of the workpiece , the calibration grinding is carried out by a transverse grinding belt which is briefly brought into contact with the workpiece

surface by reciprocating contact wheels ,” the manufacturer told ISMR .
“ The short contact time with the workpiece [ protects ] the workpieces from inappropriate heating and ensures optimal utilisation of the sanding belt . The workpieces can then be [ introduced ] to the conveyor belt at a pace which is solely determined by the extent of the subsequent edge rounding ,” it continued .
To produce true uniform radi on all edges , it is a prerequisite to use radial flexible grinding cylinders ( the structure and density of which

must be selected based on the task at hand ). Depending upon the desired process time and the amount of edge rounding required , it is important to be able to freely choose the spindle RPM ( in the range from 300-2000 RPM ) which is possible with the oscillated Fladder 300 / gearhead .
Fladder was founded in 1974 and is headquartered at Ansager in Denmark . n
