COMPACT KNIFE-BLADES SHARPENING MACHINE WITH HIGH GRINDING CAPACITY UP TO 1230 MM LENGTH. AUTOMATIC MACHINE WITH COLOR TOUCH SCREEN AND PRODUCTION PROGRAM FOR EQUAL SERIES.

Features vibration-free carriage movement and a guiding system that absorbs vibrations generated during grinding. It has a high-power grinding wheel motor: 3 HP for 50Hz versions, 4 HP for 60Hz versions. The control panel includes automatic vertical movement of the grinding wheel and adjustable carriage travel. The work cycle is programmable via a color touch screen.

The ELITE model CU mini 1200 is the smallest series of sharpening machines for knife blades, capable of sharpening blades up to 1230 mm long with high removal rates. This fully automatic, simple, compact, and economical machine requires low maintenance. With its powerful grinding motor and vibration-free system, it achieves a good surface finish and efficient grinding times for its size. The work cycle of a sharpening workshop has been analyzed to optimize machine use, resulting in a control panel with a color touch screen and most of the programming from our largest blade sharpener: the ELITE model CU PRO.

Internally, it features a powerful control with 1 CNC axis, enabling an automatic and quality sharpening cycle. After the grinding cycle is completed, the fine finishing cycle can be activated to achieve the highest quality and minimal surface roughness of the sharpened tool. Occasionally, it can also sharpen large blades used in grinding mills.

The ELITE CU mini knife sharpener is suitable for a wide range of knives, including planer knives, wood chippers, and recycling knives. Its clean and sleek design ensures ease of use and maintenance. The control panel features a color touch screen designed with a fast and user-friendly interface, making it very easy to program the machine. It allows for the creation and saving of programs, perfect for knife sharpening workshops.

It permits the programming of the entire sharpening cycle like our larger machine models: Roughing process: total amount to grind, partial amount to grind per carriage pass, and carriage speed. Finishing process: total amount to finish, partial amount to grind per carriage pass, and carriage speed. Polishing: number of carriage travels and carriage speed. Grinding wheel down-feed: left, right, or both carriage travel sides.

The production program is designed for equal size knives. The carriage movement is facilitated by a powerful motor with a worm reducer. It includes a magnetic chuck for holding blades that can be magnetized and demagnetized via the control panel. The magnetic chuck is of the electro-permanent type, requiring energy only during magnetization or demagnetization, and it also has threaded holes for fixing other non-magnetizable supports or parts.

Equipping the CU mini with a FILTRAmaq SOLO filtration system reduces machine maintenance due to less wear on moving parts such as bearings and guides. Additionally, sharpening blades with coolant entirely free of contaminants and abrasive particles enhances the final finish and reduces roughness of the workpiece.
