The cross belt unit X is located either within the machine body somewhere between the other sanding units or at the machine entrance. Just like the H unit it is meant to supplement our oblique sanding technology in order to create high end surfaces. The X unit can also be used to sand cross veneered parts as well as for pre-sanding purposes like removing plastic or glue residue. The X unit features, just like the H unit, a chevron conveyor belt system, steplessly adjustable belt speeds as well as the automatic raising and lowering feature in order to prevent workpieces from crashing with bulged (from humidity) sanding belts.
