使用正确的气动工具和配件来提高生产力

2017年11月7日

光靠气压还不足以提升工具的性能:千万别低估了配件的作用!

始终将安全放在第一位。在使用气动工具之前,务必确保气路正确连接至工具。如果气路受损或使用的接头不合适,则可能导致工具弹出或操作人员受伤。

For each job in material removal, such as chamfering a steel plate, deburring a casting, or smoothing a weld seam, there is a specific abrasive need. Based on the application, you could be using carbide burrs, bonded wheels and coated pads, wire brushes, polishing pads or many others... On top of the load applied by the operator on the tool (the feed force), one of the key factors impacting greatly the time taken to complete the grinding job, is the tool’s capacity to run the chosen abrasive at the right speed.

2 Reasons Why You Should Care About Getting The Right Speed For Your Abrasive:

  • Productivity Gains: Running the abrasives at the proper speed results in larger percentage of material removal in a given time.
  • Safety: Proper abrasive speed offers optimal safety for operators, avoiding abrasive bursts. Generally the free speed of a tool should never exceed the abrasive's maximum operating speed.

Get Optimal Abrasive Speed With Governed Air Grinders:

It is possible to optimize the abrasive's speed by equipping the tool's air motor with a governor. The air governor acts like a “cruise control” for the grinder: it adjusts the air flow to the load applied on the tool, so the abrasive maximal speed is maintained, maximizing the material removal.

How Does an Air Governor Work?

The governor limits the air flow through the motor when no torque is applied. As soon as the operator increases the load, the air governor allows more air to flow through the air motor, maintaining the rotational speed of the abrasive. With this design, the abrasive is run at the correct speed and delivers maximal material removal.

GOVERNOR CLOSED

The tool is running at free speed, with little to no load applied by the operator.

GOVERNOR OPEN

The tool is running and load is applied by the operator. The air governor opens up, to increase the air flow.

As a matter of fact, when the tool is not equipped with an air governor, as soon as feed force is applied, tool’s speed decreases, and therefore, the abrasive cannot be run at the right speed. The operator needs more time to get the same job done.

Always refer to the abrasive manufacturer specification (MOS), to make sure your grinder free speed matches it, and never exceeds it.
