The machines have a reputation for reliability and performance for the deburring of plasma/oxy fuel/laser cut parts, the grinding of all flat, ferrous and non-ferrous metal parts and the polishing of large metal surfaces to provide a fine finish with an absence of chatter marks.
When there is a mix of materials or a different finish is required, Costa machines have a patented Lock system which provides flexibility, reduced downtime between changeover of brushes and easier maintenance.
Depending on the edge radius required, vertical or orbital type brushes can be used, either individually or in multiple groups to ensure the required finish is achieved on the top, or the top and bottom sides of the component in one pass.
Parts up to 400mm thick and 3,000mm wide can be processed, and the polishing systems have a feeding speed of up to 50mt/minute. It makes these machines an ideal solution for removal of slag, burrs and oxide even when the parts are warped or uneven.
When polishing wide stainless steel sheets, the quality of the surface finish remains consistent until belt life end as the machines automatically compensate for wear of the belts. This is possible thanks to the machine’s inbuilt PLC which extends the life of the consumables which further reduces processing costs.
All machines in the Costa range exceed CE and OSHA approval, with noise reduction systems and special devices to protect operators and also prevent parts from getting damaged. Not only do the machines eliminate dangerous and time-consuming manual grinding work but they also increase productivity and reduce production costs.
