The choice of the right cloth-leather lapper for polishing with the most suitable trimmings and the associated degree of hardness must be determined on a customer-specific basis depending on the intended use. With our many years of experience, we would be happy to advise you by telephone or on site regarding high-quality and cost-effective cloth-leather lapping for your process.The combination of leather and cloth results in a longer service life for this tool, a better polishing effect and achieves a more even and better deformation (rounding) of the plastic edge than, for example, a polishing ring made only of cloth.Cloth leather lappers are ideal for use on edge banding machines. They are used to smooth the protruding edge of the PP (polypropylene) or PA (polyethylene) glue after thermal bonding.
The widely used FAPI-WAVE polishing rings with wave folds or the fabric polishing rings absorb the glue and plastic residues more intensively than the cloth-leather lappers FAPI-TL, which means that the FAPI-WAVE polishing rings with wave folds or the fabric polishing rings harden and have to be removed more often.After the protruding edge of the glue has been cut to size using scrapers, the resulting sharp edge must be broken or rounded again.
At the same time, the irregular glue residues must be removed. The frictional heat generated when using the cloth-leather lapper removes the glue residue and breaks or rounds the sharp edge of the strips.
The cloth-leather lapper is primarily used on edge banding machines. Here the cloth-leather lapper is used in a 45º position with a 15º inclination (see pictures).Diameter: 160 and 200 mm
Width: 30 mm
Bore: between 12 and 50 mm (standard)The standard bore can be reduced to any desired bore using reusable aluminum flanges.The optimal cutting speed for all cloth-leather lappers is 10 to 15 m/s.For cloth-leather lappers with a diameter of 160 mm, the maximum rotation speed is 1,850 1/min. For cloth-leather lappers with a diameter of 200 mm, the maximum rotation speed is 1,450 1/min.
