Chance to win a finishing machine

From its Grindingmaster-Timesavers stable, Christchurch based Ellesco will be showing no fewer than five machines. This will include the two compact Timesavers 10 Series machines, one of which will be given away in the prize draw. The other machines will include the Timesavers 12 Series WB, the 22 Series 900W and the 42 Series WRBW machine.

As with MACH 2014, Ellesco will be inviting manufacturers to bring parts to the show to trial the surface finishing capabilities of the Timesavers range. 

The smallest machine, the Timesavers 10 Series is a manual grinder that provides a cost-effective alternative to conventional grinding and deburring. Its head, consists of a grinding wheel and a flap brush that can be tilted 180°. This makes it possible to exchange between the aggregates easily. With a weight-bearing arm, the head can be easily moved over the work piece to create uniform finishes. This is an entry level surface finishing machine that will process parts effortlessly for potential customers.

The next step up from the 10 Series will be the 12 Series WB machine. At MACH, Ellesco will show the 600mm wide variant with abrasive deburring belt and ScotchBrite brush for relatively small components. The 12 Series can process parts with a width of 600mm and a component thickness of 1-125mm. This compact solution is available with a table feed rate from 3 to 9m/min and a sturdy weight to 100kg depending upon the specified model. Furthermore, the flexible 12 Series at MACH will have a magnetic track to demonstrate how the machine can process very small steel parts without any fixturing or workholding. Additionally, it is delivered with a centralised control panel, dust extraction funnel, belt security and full CE marking.

For more robust applications, Ellesco will be showing the capability of the proven 22 Series 900W machine that incorporates a 900mm wide table for wider parts. This single head deburring machine for the deburring and finishing of sheet metal parts offers a selection of heads and widths that combine with standard features to deliver a solution for most sheet metal finishing tasks. Renowned for being one of the most flexible machines in the Timesavers stable, the 900W can be applied to a remarkably diverse application range.

The largest of the Timesavers machines and one of Ellesco's best sellers is the Timesavers 42 Series WRBW machine. Suitable for the deburring and edge rounding of laser, flame, plasma and waterjet cut parts as well as the finishing of punched and machined parts, this machine can conduct the pre-grinding of heavy burrs and the final surface finish graining of components in one pass. The 42 Series RB range has a vacuum conveyor as standard, allowing parts from 50 to 1350mm to be processed. The new 1000mm wide version will be on display, a more compact unit than the 1350mm model shown at MACH 2014. Stand 4510 and 4601
