Cantek 230V Three Phase 37” Two Head Wide Belt Sander with Variable Feed Speed C372

Description

Introducing the Cantek C372 37” Two Head Wide Belt Sander, designed to elevate woodworking operations to new heights. The C372’s design incorporates two indiepenedent motors, each driving a dedicated sanding head. This innovative configuration offers control and versatility, allowing operators to tailor sanding operations to the specific requirements of each workpiece. By independently adjusting the speed and pressure of each sanding head, users can achieve ideal results across a wide range of materials and surface finishes. 

Incorporating a flexible quick-change abrasive belt system, the C372 enhances workflow efficiency, allowing for seamless transitions between sanding tasks. This capability empowers woodworking professionals to tackle a broader spectrum of applications within shorter time frames, assisting in meeting tight deadlines without compromising on quality or accuracy. 

Despite its powerful capabilities, the C372 features a relatively small footprint, providing greater accessibility for smaller shops to accomplish bigger results. This compact design ensures that even limited workshop space does not hinder the ability to harness the full potential of professional-grade sanding technology. Equipped with motorized thickness adjustment and digital input control, the C372 offers precise table settings down to 0.001” / 0.01mm, providing accuracy and consistency in every sanding operation. 

Discover the Cantek C372 and unlock the potential quick and efficient sanding results in your workshop. With its robust construction, dual independent motors, and advanced features, this wide belt sander offers woodworking professionals performance and reliability. 

Contact Drum and Combination Sanding Heads 

Harnessing the strength of a formidable 20HP and 15HP motor, the C372 sander boasts a dual sanding head configuration for versatile performance. 

The first head features a 7” diameter rubber contact drum, ideal for calibration sanding results. This robust drum ensures efficient material removal and precise surface leveling. 

The second 15HP head comprises a 5” diameter rubber combination head with an adjustable 2” platen, offering flexibility for both calibration and finish sanding operations. The adjustable platen facilitates fine-tuning to achieve the desired surface smoothness.

Augmented for convenience, a quick-release handle and pneumatic belt tensioning system enable rapid belt changeovers, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. 

Enhancing its durability, both sanding head frames are meticulously crafted from industrial-grade cast iron, guaranteeing steadfast stability and prolonged lifespan. This blend of power, versatility, and durability renders this sander an unwaveringly dependable choice for professional sanding applications. 

Control Panel

The control panel provides operators with convenient access to essential functions and monitoring capabilities. Featuring digital motorized thickness adjustment precise to two decimal places in Inch and one decimal place in MM, ensuring optimal precision and consistency. 

With advanced thickness adjustment capabilities, the control panel is equipped with essential safety features and monitoring tools. An emergency stop button offers immediate shutdown in case of unforeseen circumstances, prioritizing operator safety at all times. Furthermore, an ammeter provides real-time load monitoring, allowing operators to ensure the machine operates within safe parameters. 

Sanding Motor with Disc Braking

Boasting robust 20HP and 15HP motors, this sander delivers unparalleled power to a combination sanding head, tackling demanding tasks with ease. Its pneumatic disc braking system not only enables swift belt changes but also enhances machine safety, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. With this innovative feature, operators can enjoy increased productivity without compromising on safety standards. In addition, the motor comes equipped with Wye-Delta controls which reduce power consumption on startup. 

Pneumatic Conveyor Belt Tracking

The C372 is further enhanced with an automatic conveyor belt tracking system, a crucial feature designed to maintain precise alignment and prevent deviation. By continuously monitoring and adjusting the position of the conveyor belt, this cutting-edge technology ensures consistent centering, minimizing the risk of belt misalignment or tracking off to one side. 

Safety Systems

Equipped with an over-height lever gate that will automatically shut off the machine should a workpiece too thick be sent through for sanding. Also equipped with a front safety bar, emergency stop buttons on the front and rear of the machine, and safety switches on all door panels. 

Variable Feed Speed Adjustment

The inclusion of a 2HP variable feed speed feature empowers the operator with precise control over the sanding process. This versatility enables users to tailor the sanding speed to suit different applications and belt grits, ensuring optimal results every time. Whether fine-tuning for delicate finishes or ramping up for rapid material removal, this adjustable functionality accommodates diverse sanding requirements with ease. By offering flexibility and customization, the sander facilitates the attainment of desired outcomes, elevating the quality and efficiency of sanding tasks across a spectrum of projects. 

Electronic Belt Tracking

Incorporating advanced technology, the sander features an electronic send-and-receive sensor that delivers pinpoint accuracy in detecting the sanding belt. This precision ensures the most reliable belt tracking, enhancing overall performance and efficiency. Additionally, the sander is equipped with belt overrun limit switches, further augmenting safety measures. These switches act as failsafe, preventing belt overrun situations and averting potential hazards. By combining sophisticated sensor technology with robust safety features, the sander prioritizes both precision and user protection. 

Four Elevation Screws

The table’s elevation is meticulously controlled by four industrial-grade ball screws, guaranteeing impeccable flatness and enduring durability. This precision-engineered mechanism ensures consistent performance and minimizes any deviations, allowing for reliable and accurate sanding results over time. By incorporating such robust components, this sander prioritizes both quality and longevity, making it a dependable choice for professional sanding operations. 

Pressure Hold Down Rollers

The C372 sander is outfitted with a robust dual infeed and dual outfeed hold-down roller system, meticulously designed to ensure the utmost stability and security of the workpiece throughout the sanding process. 

Crafted with precision and attention to detail, these hold-down rollers apply consistent pressure to firmly secure the panel in place during sanding operations. By gripping the workpiece from both the front and rear, they minimize the risk of movement or vibration. 

Electrical Panel

Cantek employs high-quality Schneider electrical controls to operate the sander, ensuring reliable performance. Additionally, electrical components are readily available at Cantek or major electrical stores, enhancing accessibility and convenience for maintenance and replacement needs.
