Applications
The MS-500 is used for the following applications: the internal and external grinding of surfaces on pipes and vessels, and the grinding of internal and external longitudinal and circumferential weld seam reinforcements. If necessary, the grinding head can be mounted into a turning fork. This allows the preparation of welding edges on flat plates and on the face of vessels, sections, and pipes.
Technology
The floating grinding head follows automatically any run-outs of the work piece with constant pressure. The weight of the floating part of the grinding head was reduced to a minimum by mounting the driving motor to the basic part. The power is transmitted by a cardan drive. The precise adjustment of the grinding pressure with a pneumatic control system and a belt oscillation ensures an optimal utilization of the grinding belts. The belt change requires only a few manipulations. Pneumatic belt tension and belt running correction. The MS-500 can be equipped with grinding belts as well as polishing rings, wire brushes, flap wheels, Scotch-Brite-discs and belts.
Performance
Very high rates of material removal: low alloy steel up to 475 g/min; stainless steel up to 300 g/min. Any desired surface finish can easily be achieved by using finer and finer grain of belts.
