Save time and labor on fine sanding

Precision sanding/polishing, optimize your working time and save labor without manual sanding/polishing

Sanding/polishing surfaces, if done with precision, is an activity that takes time, requires expert personnel and has a significant impact on labor costs for companies, because everyone knows that labor is the first company cost.

Cars, luxury boats, the wood sector, aircraft, luxury construction, etc., require perfect shapes before being repainted and today everything we see with our eyes is painted, but necessarily sanded/polished beforehand, otherwise the paint itself it would have no adhesion and the surfaces would be unsightly, with waviness, paint defects and so on.

Precision sanding/polishing requires perfect smoothing and flattening of the chemical layers, such as filler, primer or old/new paint, etc, on any shape of the product.

One of the main problems of this problem derives from the designers, both automotive, naval, aerospace etc etc who in recent years have indulged in creating beautiful and captivating objects, both with a mix of curvilinear or angular planar shapes, but unfortunately for those who practice this activity of precision sanding/smoothing is aware that to recreate these shapes it is not simple and not for everyone, unfortunately expert personnel are needed but today it is difficult to find.

The problem of this difficulty is above all in mechanized tools such as sanders in use, because they are equipped with planar rubber backing pads for the abrasive, which are yielding, therefore they do not rectify the shapes of the surfaces and do not adapt to the shapes of the objects, in addition than to create damage, therefore qualified personnel must adapt with ingenuity and a lot of skill to the manual processing with plugs/pads/blocks and abrasive but which requires a lot of time, otherwise it will not be possible to obtain the desired and hoped-for result.

At present, mainly such sanders and rubber backing pads are used for first roughing of chemical materials or other sanding purposes, but not used for precision sanding/polishing with obtaining the final result, because they cannot achieve it.

I mention the car bodywork sector with a lot of criticism, because today cars have thin metal sheets of all shapes, both steel, aluminum or carbon and when they need to be repaired from dents they are easily deformed with the traditional manual sanding workers, combined with the dowels/buffers/blocks + abrasive.
Recreating their shapes from the chemical materials applied, such as primer filler etc. is really a feat, moreover they must also be repainted with metallic, pearlescent colors etc. which clearly show all the shapes and scratches of the same abrasive.

Furthermore, this sector also has to deal with their customers, who are often private customers who look to save money but demand satisfactory results, or rental fleets or insurance companies who give repair time in a short time, therefore a solution to this primary problem is also urgently needed .

Skeletime, sanding perfection in record time

Fortunately, this is no longer the case because an innovative system of special supports for abrasives has finally been patented to be used with the sanders on the market which, thanks to its composition which has an internal steel skeleton, adapts itself to the surface to be smooth but keeps the abrasive a hard support for the surface grinding of the chemical materials applied, perfectly flattening the surface from the upper part and also keeping the edges and corners of the product perfectly intact.
This system is called SKELETIME where it has invented a new sanding standard unique in the world and what makes it so special is its structure which is composed as follows:

A unique backing pad for sanders (called Pad Totem and is designed for the perfect use of the patented inserts)
Several patented support inserts for the abrasive with variable hardness steel skeleton.
The patented support inserts for the abrasive are applied to the Totem backing pad and are divided into two categories, namely “Professional” specific for self-repair with high sanding precision and fast working performance or “SemiPro”, suitable for all sectors that who practice sanding but who prefer a product with a long product life and satisfactory sanding results/performance.
Both systems (Professional or SemiPro) are characterized by 53 suction holes always in contact with the surface to be abraded and 24 suction micro airboxes on the backing plate, for total dust extraction.

Thanks to these characteristics, Skeletime marks a real revolution for all those activities where sanding/smoothing is necessary, such as the precision grinding of the applied chemical materials. On cars or wood or ships or aircraft or plasterboard walls etc etc it is indifferent, the sander combined with Skeletime always manages to perfectly grind the surfaces in a very short time and impeccably. But that’s not all, because with Skeletime combined with a sander and vacuum cleaner, the emission of dust during sanding is almost completely reduced and you save a lot in terms of costs and health for the operators, not just time.
Well, what has just been described describes what to do to remedy the problems described of excess time and surface quality within everyone’s reach but we remember that to obtain a truly impeccable result it is always advisable to contact experts in the sector, so as to be followed step by step and avoid to run into unnecessary errors.
