Wood applications

creative sanding

Effects such as rough sawn surfaces, planing effects or vintage looks are a megatrend in the furniture and wooden floor industry. The rustic, distinctive look gives the impression of handmade patterns and underlines the naturalness of the wood. Special processes are used to imitate the typical signs of wear and tear of a wooden floor that has been used for decades in order to give the rooms a touch of the “good old days”. For example, depressions or patterns are sanded to imitate the “aging” of the soil.

Heesemann recognized this trend early on and is able to automatically achieve such optics in a continuous process. Based on the unique CSD® magnetic pressure bar system in conjunction with innovative control software, every user of Heesemann machines can create any desired effect on the machine themselves. Whether it's rough sawn surfaces, planing effects or a vintage look, Heesemann provides the appropriate solution to achieve wonderful surfaces.

An important quality feature of machine-incorporated effects in wood is the indiscriminate incorporation of patterns, which appear random and completely natural to all observers. Here, the electronic Heesemann process has a major advantage over conventional mechanically controlled competitor products. The print bar is controlled almost without delay and enables patterns and effects to be incorporated with maximum precision. The flexibility of the Heesemann system is another plus for the user. Different patterns and effects can be easily programmed and saved via the control terminal. The set-up times are therefore minimal.
