Polished surfaces: The finish for flawless top-class products
Metal has a unique shine and an unmistakable warmth. A perfect surface finish not only gives metal a flawless appearance, but is also crucial for its quality. Finish grinding is an essential step in the process, giving workpieces their final surface finish. In this process, the smallest irregularities, scratches and residues are removed to create an even, smooth surface that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
WEBER has been working for years to get the most out of metal as a material, relying on innovative technologies and maximum precision. Rely on our experience and expertise for a finish that meets the highest standards.
WEBER technology
At WEBER, we understand the importance of a first-class surface finish for the success of your project. By using different aggregates, such as the contact roller and the CBF aggregate, different structures can be created on the surface, which have a different roughness. These different roughnesses make it possible to precisely meet specific surface finish requirements and thus achieve optimum results for your project.
Sanding with a contact roller for surface finishing offers several advantages. It enables efficient processing of large surfaces, as the roller is continuously guided over the material. This evens out any unevenness and smoothes the surface evenly. On the other hand, the special arrangement of the abrasive particles on the roller ensures that no unwanted grooves or scratches are created that could impair the appearance of the surface.
Another advantage of finish sanding with a contact roller is the versatility of the application. Depending on the desired result, different abrasive grains and materials can be used to create fine or coarser structures. The choice of grit has a direct impact on the roughness depth of the finished surface. Finer abrasive grains produce a smoother finish with a shallower roughness depth, while coarser abrasive grains can leave a greater roughness depth.
These differences are important to achieve the desired finish. Finer abrasive grains are particularly suitable for surfaces that require a high degree of smoothness and a flawless appearance, such as furniture surfaces or decorative elements. By using fine abrasive grains, the surface is smoothed without leaving deep scratches or grooves.
On the other hand, coarser grits can be used to create a specific texture or rustic look. These grits are ideal for surfaces that require a certain grip or a distinctive structure, as is often the case with floor coverings or industrial applications.

The patented WEBER CBF system revolutionizes surface finishing with its innovative approach. By pressing the sanding belt against the workpiece via a segmented sanding beam, it enables precise and versatile processing. This method makes it possible to create different sanding patterns with an easily adjustable stroke length, which is particularly important when it comes to fine-tuning the surface quality.
The ability to create different grinding patterns is particularly important for surface finishing. Depending on the application and aesthetic requirements, different surface textures may be desired. The CBF system offers the flexibility to precisely meet these requirements, be it for smooth surfaces in the food industry or for non-slip surfaces in automotive manufacturing.
In addition, the system easily handles thicker sheets, which underlines its versatility and adaptability. This capability is particularly important as many industrial applications require the processing of materials with different thicknesses.
Another key advantage of the CBF system is its long belt life and low material heating. The efficient use of the sanding belt not only increases productivity, but also improves the quality of the processed surfaces. Low material heating also minimizes the risk of deformation or other damage to the workpiece, which is particularly important when precise dimensional accuracy is required.

The use of non-woven rollers is particularly effective when it comes to achieving an even and high-quality surface. By using abrasive fleece interspersed with abrasive particles, the fleece roller can gently remove materials while creating a homogeneous surface structure. This method makes it possible to sand the surface so finely that it is smooth to the touch and yet has an aesthetically pleasing, brushed look. This removes small scratches and applies a polish to the surface.
Line-finish and satin-finish
In metalworking, it is not only necessary to shape the workpiece precisely. An equally crucial step is the processing of the surface to make it particularly appealing.
Finish grinding removes scratches and creates an aesthetically pleasing surface. This process is crucial to ensure the quality and appearance of the finished workpiece. Different surface finishes can be achieved, such as a line finish or satin finish, depending on the specific requirements of the project.
A line finish is characterized by fine, parallel lines on the surface, which are created by even grinding. This finish is often used on stainless steel surfaces to achieve a modern and elegant appearance. The satin finish, on the other hand, gives the surface a matt, even texture that is less susceptible to fingerprints and scratches. This type of finish is often used in decorative applications where both aesthetics and functionality play a role.

FAQ about finish sanding
Finish sanding involves processing the visible surface of a workpiece. Finish sanding describes a process that is used to refine the surface of a workpiece and give it a specific texture or smoothness. Finish sanding is the final step in the processing of a workpiece, in which scratches are removed by sanding and an attractive surface is created.
- Line finish: An even, line-like surface is created on the surface of the workpiece
- Satin finish: non-woven belts or rollers create an even, matt structure
- Non-directional finish: a uniform, diffuse sanding pattern is created by eccentric sanding or special lamella arrangements on deburring rollers.
Finish grinding is generally used as the last step after rough machining, such as deburring, and is used when the surface of a workpiece requires particularly high quality and aesthetics.
- Improved surface quality: By removing scratches and irregularities, a smooth, uniform surface is created that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
- Increased longevity: Smooth surfaces are less susceptible to corrosion and wear, extending the life of the workpieces.
- Functional improvements: In applications where parts are in contact or movement with each other, a smooth surface can reduce friction and improve functionality.
- Higher efficiency and productivity: WEBER's advanced technologies enable a fast and efficient grinding process, resulting in higher productivity and lower costs.
