Sanding with SCM

The market demands more than
a wide-belt sanding machine
working on a single flat surface. It
requires the design product to be
personalised, for the finishes to
appeal texturally and visually. Most
quality finishes by artisans are
achieved using technology like saw
cut, carving, 3D surfaces as well
as varying brushing and texturing
effects, resulting in sophisticated
aesthetics. SCM, with its R&D, is
said to pave the way for quality,
efficient and flexible sanding.
NEW DMC SYSTEM T WITH
LASER ENGRAVING UNIT
SCM showcased its dmc system t
automatic sanding-calibrating machine
at LIGNA 2023. This machine is
accompanied with a CO2 laser unit
suited to create 3D markings on
wood flooring, wood elements,
medium-density fibreboard (MDF)
panels, fibre cement panels and solid
surfaces. It reportedly increases
productivity as the laser unit makes it a
compact solution for any surface length.
Further, it has a self-refilling technology
created by global laser company EI.En.
Known as a ‘never ending power’ as the
quality of the laser beam is constant,
the machine reloads with a cylinder
that is replaced when the gas source
runs out, making the sanding process
uninterrupted. According to SCM, another
advantage is its user-friendly graphic
interface of the eye-M PC panel. It has
three flexible working parameters which
make it intuitive for operators to define
marking levels accordingly. The machine
also has a webcam installed, making
machine monitoring in real time possible.
