No-Go Belt Sanders

The Odiz No-Go Belt Sander combines a Palmgren belt grinder with the Odiz patented No-Go Grinder Safety Stand, which has optical sensors on the work rest. If the work rest gap exceeds 1/8 in., the belt sander will not start, so an out-of-adjustment rest is caught before the belt runs. A contactor keeps the machine from restarting on its own after a power loss, and a multi-colored LED shows guard, overload trip and E-stop warnings.

Key features

• No-Go work rest sensing: Odiz patented optical sensor technology on the work rest blocks start-up when the gap is out of spec.
• Anti-restart contactor: start/stop button with a contactor, so the machine will not restart on power loss.
• Warning LEDs: multi-colored LED for guard, overload trip and E-stop (if applicable) warnings.
• Adjustable belt position: run the belt vertical, horizontal or at any position in between.
• Easy belt setup: simple belt tensioning and adjustment.
• Full belt guard: included on the belt grinder.

Standards

The 1/8 in. limit matches the maximum work rest opening in paragraph (a)(4) of OSHA 1910.215, abrasive wheel machinery, which applies to offhand grinding machines; No-Go checks the belt sander's work rest against the same limit. How a standard applies to a particular machine depends on the machine and how it is used.

Applications

Palmgren belt grinders grind, sand, finish, polish, deburr and contour all types of parts on any type of material, so the No-Go version suits maintenance shops, toolrooms and production finishing areas where the work rest check should not depend on the operator.
