For example, a twin-headed, flat bed,
linisher is being used to take flat bar or box section components to a high level of surface finish.
The unit handles steel or aluminium dust from a floor mounted fettling booth and from a belt
linisher. Nonflam extractors use a water filled tank through which dust and residues are drawn by an impeller fan.
The unit is handling steel or aluminium dust created in a floor-mounted fettling booth, and by a Grindingmaster belt
linisher. Both workstations are used to finish components produced by Euro Sheet Metal for the electronics and lighting industries.
Fine Blanking's equipment includes nine fine-blanking presses, eight eccentric presses, two CNC machining centres, two CNC turning centres, six auto lathes, three de-burring
linishers, a robot welder station, a fully equipped tool room and a host of secondary operation and transport equipment.
The two Polytex units were installed to handle dust from double-ended polishers and
linishers, while together with two existing units, Finsbury now has seven Dustands serving a total of nine work stations.
