Units/Tools

LOEWER K – Abrasive Belt Unit with Contact Drum

The abrasive belt unit with a contact drum can be used for graining a decorative straight-line finish or for deburring. Depending on the application the hardness and diameter of the contact drum can be selected accordingly. For example, a harder drum is better for straigh-line finishing whereas a softer drum will work better for deburring.

Decorative straight-line finish

The abrasive belt unit can be equipped with the unique LOEWER floating head system which makes it possible to regulate the grinding pressure. It allows the entire unit to move out of the way if the grinding pressure gets too high. The system prevents the workpiece overheating and protects the expensive contact drum from damage.

LOEWER B – Barrel Brush Unit

Barrel brushes are mainly used to improve the surface after abrasive belt grinding. Other applications include roughening or surface cleaning. A large variety of brushes are available for different applications.

LOEWER P – Planetary Unit

The LOEWER planetary head is equipped with three rotating discs mounted to a single rotating head. The workpiece is processed evenly from all directions and the disc tools wear evenly.
