Loops

With the right sanding solutions, you achieve low-dust, uniform surfaces and reproducible results. The portfolio includes abrasives (discs, strips, sheets, rolls), machines (orbital/DA/file), backing pads & interface pads, hand sanding blocks as well as extraction hoses/adapters and station solutions. We provide guidance on grit, mineral/backing, hole pattern/extraction, ergonomics and documentation.

Applications & Benefits

In automotive, industry, plastics, wood and body & paint, coordinated abrasives and extraction ensure consistent finish quality, reduced dust and shorter rework times. With suitable grit sequences, hole patterns and extraction systems, quality, safety and cycle times remain stable.

Tasks & Set Configuration

We configure sanding sets for preparation work, filler and paint intermediate sanding, matting and finish based on substrate, grit sequence, machine type/orbit and extraction. Mineral/backing, hole pattern, pad hardness, interface pads and replacement/inspection cycles are defined; usage, inspection and replacement are documented via PDF/CSV export and QR labels.

Product Areas & Integration

The program includes sanding discs/strips/sheets/rolls, orbital/random orbital sanders, backing pads, interface/intermediate pads, hand sanding blocks as well as extraction hoses/adapters and station solutions. All solutions are designed for finish consistency, dust management, ergonomics and process reliability – with clean integration into 5S/QS workflows.

For complete workplaces, we define sanding bundles with grit sequence, machine/pad matrix, replacement guidelines, labeling and minimum stock levels. We consolidate BOMs, plan extraction compatibilities and integrate the equipment into audit processes – ensuring stable quality and reliable documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Loops & Sanding

Which sanding products are part of the painting process?

Typical abrasives include discs, strips, sheets and rolls, plus orbital and random orbital sanders, backing pads & interface pads, hand sanding blocks as well as extraction hoses/adapters and stations for low-dust working.

What should I consider regarding grit, hole pattern and extraction?

Important factors include the correct grit sequence for each work step, mineral/backing suitable for the substrate, compatible hole patterns with the backing pad for maximum dust removal, pad hardness/interface for contours as well as a well-matched extraction system (hose diameter, adapter, sealing).

How do I organize, maintain and document in an audit-ready way?

Define replacement/inspection intervals (discs, pads, interfaces), record machine/orbit/rpm, grit/lot number and areas of use. Use labels/QR codes for assignment and PDF/CSV exports for audit-safe storage (including PPE/dust protection requirements).
