In a sanding machine for sanding/finishing panels made of wood, metal or the like, an abrasive belt is moved so as to cause it to come into contact with a panel by a plurality of thrust elements, which are distributed inside the abrasive belt, and are moved perpendicularly to the panel by respective actuator cylinders, each of which has an output rod which is moveable between a lowered operating position and a raised rest position under the thrust of a pressurised gas supplied in a continuous manner to an upper chamber of the actuator cylinder and in a selective manner to a lower chamber of the actuator cylinder itself.

A grinding device is operated by grinding of a surface of the workpiece with at least one grinding medium while recording actual data of the surface after grinding with at least one data collection device. Actual data recorded during grinding is then compared with target data stored in an electronic memory in an electronic data processing device. Based on the comparison, adjustments are made to at least one grinding parameter if a deviation of the actual data from the target data exceeds a predetermined limit.

A coated steel sheet capable of implementing a rich three-dimensional effect, various patterns, and a natural esthetic sense and includes a steel sheet material which has a concave portion and a convex portion formed on one surface and a coating layer which is formed on the one surface by being coated on a coating material, wherein, as the coating layer is polished, at least a portion of the convex portion is exposed to an outside, and the concave portion is filled with the coating material.

A belt sander for sanding a workpiece including a main housing, a motor having a motor shaft disposed within the main housing, and a handle extending from the motor housing and configured to be grasped by a user for maneuvering the belt sander. The motor shaft defines a motor axis that is perpendicular to a handle axis of the handle. The belt sander further includes a contact arm that extends from the motor housing and is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a light assembly coupled to the motor housing. The light assembly includes a light housing, an LED, and a lens coupled to the light housing for diverging light rays from the LED across a light range. When the contact arm is in the deployed position, the light range illuminates at least a portion of the contact arm and a space below the contact arm.

Loopback rolls which can transfer and guide a polishing tape (T) along a perimeter of a pressure contact roll (R) is provided, the pressure contact roll having a tapered peripheral edge having a top edge and a pair of slant edge faces formed on a periphery of the pressure contact roll, by which the polishing tape can be bent into a substantially V-shape in cross section, and a switchable pressure contact mechanism is switchably provided which pressure contacts each of bent portions of the polishing tape, which is bent into the substantially V-shape in cross section by the tapered peripheral edge, to one tooth face (B1) or the other tooth face of a worm.

The invention relates to a device (100) for machining a surface of a workpiece (200a). According to one embodiment, the device (100) comprises a frame (160) and a roller carrier (401), on which a first roller (101) is rotatably supported and which is supported on the frame (160) in such a way that the roller carrier can be moved in a first direction (x). The device (100) comprises at least a second roller (103), which is supported on the frame (160), and a belt (102), which is guided at least around the two rollers (101, 103) and because of the tension of which a resulting belt force (102) acts on the roller carrier (401). The device (100) also comprises an actuator (302), which is mechanically coupled to the frame (160) and the roller carrier (401) in such a way that an adjustable actuator force (FA) acts between the frame (160) and the first roller (101) in the first direction (x). The belt (102) is guided by means of the second roller (103), or by means of the second roller (103) and further rollers (101a, 101b, 121a, 121b, 105), in such a way that the resulting belt force (FB, FB′) acting on the roller carrier (401) acts approximately in a second direction (y) orthogonal to the first direction (x) in the case of a target deflection of the actuator (302).
