Cantek 230V Three Phase 43” Combination Head Wide Belt Sander S431

Description

Introducing the compact and versatile Cantek S431 43″ wide belt Sander. Equipped with a combination sanding unit capable of performing both calibration and final sanding. By using the sanding drum you can perform panel calibration with courser grits and then lower the platen for final sanding with finer grits. The user friendly digital motorized thickness adjustment allows for fast and accurate table adjustment for precisely sanded panels. This S431 epitomizes performance in an entry-level package.

Combination Sanding Unit 

The versatile combi-head features a 4" diameter contact drum with a 1.8" adjustable platen. The platen can be raised when further calibration is required and lowered for final sanding with finer grits. The platen is configured with a felt strip and covered in friction reducing graphite cloth. This setup allows for fine sanding results and optimal surface finish. The pneumatic belt tension system and quick release outboard support allow for fast and convenient belt changes. The tracking can be adjusted easily using an adjustment knob at the top of the assembly.

20HP Sanding Motor with Disc Braking 

Equipped with a powerful 20HP sanding motor and a pneumatic disc braking system to swiftly stop the sanding head when the stop button is pressed or when a fault occurs on the machine. This allows for fast belt changes and enhances operator and machine safety. Additionally, the sanding motor comes equipped with a Wye-Delta soft control which reduces power consumption on startup.

Electronic Belt Tracking 

An advanced electronic belt tracking system uses a send-and-receive sensor that delivers pinpoint accuracy in detecting the sanding belt. This precision ensures the most reliable belt tracking increasing overall performance. Specially located air nozzles ensure the sensor and reflector remain dust free. Each sanding head is equipped with belt overrun limit switches which are designed to shut down the machine in the event a belt over travels preventing damage to the belt.

Control Panel with Digital Thickness Setting 

The sander is equipped with a digital thickness control allowing for precision thickness adjustment. The control can be set in inch or metric with a resolution to 0.005” and 0.1mm. The table can also be jogged up or down using independent push buttons. The sanding head is equipped with an ammeter allowing the operator to monitor the load for optimal finish results and belt longevity. The bypass key switch allows the operator access to the sanding unit for convenient tracking adjustment. The machine comes equipped with an emergency stop button on the front and rear of the machine for added operator and machine safety.

Conveyor Belt 

The reinforced rubber conveyor belt provides optimum grip while remaining very consistent in thickness for optimum sanding precision. A conveyor belt tracking system automatically tracks the belt to prevent it from running off to one side.

Variable Feed Speed 

The feed conveyor is powered by a 1HP motor with a variable feed pulley system enabling the operator to adjust the feed speed for various sanding applications, belt grits, wood species, for desired sanding results.

Table Elevation Jack Screws 

The table is raised and lowered by four industrial jack screws ensuring perfect flatness and added durability. The screws are covered with rubber bellows to prevent dust contamination

Safety Systems 

The S-series comes equipped with a wide range of features designed for both operator and machine safety. A safety bump bar on the infeed bed allows the operator to quickly shut the machine down even if their hands are in use. An adjustable material over height safety bar protects the machine from feeding thicker material than was intended. There are limit switches on the left and right access doors which will not allow the machine to run when left open. An emergency stop button is located in front and at the rear of the machine.

Electrical Controls 

Cantek use high quality Schneider electrical controls to operate the sander, ensuring reliable performance. These electrical components are readily available from Cantek or major electrical stores across North America for added convenience when required.
