Question Polishing table

Hi guys,

I need to polish large aluminum sheets approx 8'x20'. The flat sheet lays on the table and a row of buffing wheels travels the length of the sheet polishing it as it travels.
I know there is a table that is out there to polish these but I can't seem to find any info on it.
Does anyone have any info on them?
I would greatly appreciate it.


Thanks
Vince Lombardi

We have one at work to polish stainless steel plates. It's an Imeas, made in Italy. Uses vaccuum to hold the plate down, and a stack of vent buffs 22" in diameter that ocillates back and forth as the table is moved across the face of the buffs. Hope this helps.

Steve,

Thanks for your response. I am in Thailand right now looking to set up a shop and it turns out Imeas has a location in Bangkok. You really saved me some time.

Steve,

I have to do a cost analysis for this table for our plant in Thailand. Can you tell me how long it should take to polish an 8' x 20' sheet?

Thanks
Vince

I don't know any specifics because I didn't operate the machine. I'm pretty sure they only buffed stainless plates with it though. Unfortunately I no longer work there either so it might be a little difficult to find out any more information. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Steve
