PFERD Tools for Use on Aluminium

209 I<strong>PFERD</strong> <strong>Tools</strong> – Catalogues 201-209Catalogue 209 – Power <strong>Tools</strong><strong>PFERD</strong> offers an extensive machine range adapted to the per<strong>for</strong>mance, RPM andpower specifications of <strong>PFERD</strong> tools. These machines are engineered to optimizethe cost-efficiency of our products and comply with the applicable version of theEC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive GPSGV).Light finishing, grinding, polishing and deburring work requires less power outputbut a lighter, handier machine. Regular milling, grinding, coarse machining anddeburring jobs (especially under heavy-duty conditions), in turn, call <strong>for</strong> the use ofpowerful and rugged machines.Air grindersTurbine-type, straight, angle and beltgrindersSpeed range:3,500-100,000 RPMPower rating:75-1,000 WRecommendations <strong>for</strong> use■■Particularly suitable, given that airmotors produce no sparks.■■Preferable <strong>for</strong> tools requiringspeeds over 36,000 RPM■■For tools which can only be usedin one RPM range.Electric grindersStraight, angle, drum, belt and filletweld grindersSpeed range:750-33,000 RPMPower rating:500-1,530 WRecommendations <strong>for</strong> use■■<strong>Use</strong> only with a very effectiveextraction system, e.g. with a wetseparator. The sparks producedby the carbon brushes may ignitealuminium dust.■■Electric machines should becleaned with compressed air afteruse.Flexible shafts and drive unitsFlexible shaft drives powered byuniversal or three-phase motors.Speed range:0-36,000 RPMPower rating:500-6,100 WRecommendations <strong>for</strong> use■■Mount the drive motor outsidethe grinding booth or dust emissionsite.■■Virtually all <strong>PFERD</strong> tools describedin this publication can be used.05/2013 Subject to technical modifications. Printed in Germany.817 117Workplace design recommendations■■The ideal workplace <strong>for</strong> machining aluminium workpieces is equipped withan effective extraction system and, possibly, wet extraction equipment.The explosion or fire hazard resulting from spark <strong>for</strong>mation increases withthe concentration of aluminium particles in the air. Special caution must beexercised when working aluminium materials which contain magnesium;their dusts may be highly explosive. Spark-producing power units constitute ahazard. However, sparks may also result from tool-to-material contact.■■Classify work environments according to the codes of the Workmen’sCompensation Insurance Association with regard to the prevention of dustfires and dust explosions, then select power units in accordance with thisclassification.Safety noteSelect machines in accordance withthe classification of your workplace asdefined in BGR 109, “Prevention ofDust Fires and Dust Explosions duringAluminium Grinding, Brushing andPolishing”, a publication of the GermanAssociation of Workmen’s CompensationInsurers.Tool DrivesTool Drives209NoteFor more detailedin<strong>for</strong>mation onpower tools andPlatzhaltermotor units <strong>for</strong> toolfür Titeldrives, please referto our Tool Manual,Catalogue 209.12094007220 8 6186836www.pferd.com · info@pferd.com<strong>PFERD</strong> quality certified according to EN ISO 9001.
