New Cutting Edge Lasers Sandtrac TM cuts abrasive costs.
Cutting Edge
Lasers are proud to announce the latest innovation from Carter
Products. Aimed squarely at the broad, widebelt sanding market, the new
SandTrac Width Utilization Prompter/Monitor is a groundbreaking system
for managing abrasive belt usage, improving product consistency and
reducing abrasives costs.
In nearly every manufacturing operation consumables used in daily
production are seen as a “cost of doing business.” In today’s
competitive environment, reducing those costs can be a key to continued
success.
In simplest terms, SandTrac monitors operator input and
projects a highly-visible graph reflecting real-time usage patterns
directly onto a scale on the front of the machine. The graph indicates
where abrasive belt wear is the greatest, prompting the operator to
utilize other sections of the infeed table.
This evens out belt use;
reducing belt changes, downtime, and overall abrasive costs. The graph
also provides supervisory personnel with an immediate compliance and
performance indicator.
“This concept is elegant in its simplicity,”
says Peter Perez, President of Carter Products. “The actual hardware is
very easy to set up and use. Our customers will realize improved
efficiency almost immediately. And, the savings multiply with
multi-head sanders. With a single device, users will realize a savings
on every single sanding head.”
We project up to a 50% reduction in belt
expenses in many cases and estimate that a company using $150,000 in
belts per year will recoup their investment in SandTrac in less than
nine months.
