Master - Proven a thousand times over
The Master gets to the heart of sanding. It contains the essence of our 75 years of experience in sanding technology. This means that selected machine configurations that have proven themselves in thousands of woodworking shops around the world offer all the features that are essential for the fast, reliable production of perfect surfaces.
The Features - To the point
Construction: The Master is in no way inferior to our other model series in terms of robustness and durability. It has the same solid construction, which makes all our machines investments with foresight that still reliably deliver precise sanding results even after many years of use.
Head Movement / Constant Pass Line: For a good three decades we have been equipping our machines exclusively with moving top sections. Why? Compared to classic table adjustment, it is more complex in design, but also better in many respects. The machine can be loaded with higher workpiece weights, it maintains its precision more reliably and you have the advantages of a constant working height.
Workpiece dimensions: The adjustment of the upper part, i.e. the passage opening, is motorized, finely adjustable via touch screen. The maximum passage height is at least 200mm. With a working width of 1350 mm, the Kundig Master has a generous and well proven standard dimension.
Eco energy saving mode: The Kundig Master is equipped with our specially developed Eco* energy saving mode. This software regulates the power consumption depending on load. As soon as work breaks occur, the machine automatically switches to standby mode. It is then immediately ready for use again. This results in significant savings, without compromising performance.
The Sanding Units – Established Combination
The sanding units are based on the proven combination of calibration roller and sanding pad. The number of contact rollers and the design of the sanding pad unit can be decided in the configuration. For safe workpiece guidance, there is a parallel spring-loaded steel pressure roller at the machine infeed and rubber pressure rollers between the sanding units.
Calibration Roller (R) - Foundation of Sanding Technology: The calibration unit has a grooved, rubberised sanding roller of proven hardness. It ensures optimum pre-sanding and perfectly calibrated parts. The classic sanding unit, which has been perfected over decades, combines straightforward efficiency with modern technology. For example, the "R" unit has electronic grain compensation. This means that the thickness of the inserted grit is compensated at the touch of a button by means of motorised eccentric adjustment.
Segmented Pad (Pe) - Action Controlled: This segmented sanding pad ensures perfect sanding on the edges of the workpiece. The precise insertion and retraction of the sanding segments ensures that the sanding is correct on the front and rear edges of the workpiece. The segmentation ensures that the sanding pad adapts optimally to the shape of the workpiece.
Segmented Pad (E) - Edge Controlled: For the highest demands on sanding in the edge area of the workpieces, the sanding pad "E" offers extended possibilities: For example, the infeed and outfeed of the sanding segments can be delayed or accelerated in order to modulate the sanding on the front and rear workpiece edges even better. To achieve full control also on the lateral edges, the edge pressure on the workpieces scanned at the machine infeed can be individually adjusted, which further increases flexibility. Even asymmetrical settings, i.e. separate left and right edge pressure, are possible.

Operation - quick and easy
Full control means when everyone in the company, whether young or old, journeyman or master, uses all the features down to the most specific adjustments of the sanding process instinctively and after a very short time. That is why we at Kündig have always given the highest priority to equipping our sanding machines with an operating concept that is not only logical and appealing at first glance, but also motivates the user to explore further options and thus achieve the maximum sanding quality on every surface.
- The machine can be controlled either by analogue controls or via the touch screen.
- Frequently repeated sanding processes can be easily saved in sanding programmes and called up as required and executed fully automatically.
- Even without sanding programmes, the ingenious "Enormatic" automatic sanding system offers the option of automatic sanding. Workpieces are measured or scanned over the entire working width at the machine infeed, the sanding process is triggered and carried out according to the desired parameters (e.g. target thickness).
- The PLC is Industry 4.0 ready and the machine can be integrated into all common production line control systems.
- The touch screen can be operated even when wearing gloves
- Intelligent safety systems: The hardware is constantly monitored by numerous sensors, which makes catastrophic application errors impossible and helps to rectify faults with indications.
- Remote access: The machine is prepared for access via LAN, giving our support staff the ability to access it when necessary.
- A range of USB input devices: Mouse, keyboard, camera, barcode and RFID readers, etc. * USB memory stick for backup and technical documentation
- Statistics: Key figures such as process time, running metres and surface area can also be viewed on a job-by-job basis.
