GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Lavina 16® Pro machine is intended for grinding, polishing and buffing concrete, marble, granite, limestone and
terrazzo surfaces with diamond tools.
The Lavina 16® Pro is a three-disc machine, which can be used dry as well as wet.
For best results, use only tools manufactured or recommended by Superabrasive and its distributors. Additionally, the
machine could be used for grinding wood floor surfaces.
WARNING!
The Lavina 16® Pro machine is manufactured and fitted for the above-mentioned applications only! Every other use
may possess risks to the persons involved.
MACHINE CHARACTERISTICS
The Lavina 16® Pro is made of two main component sections:
LAVINA 16® PRO MAIN DESIGN
•
The two main component sections
, the carriage (1) and main head (2).
The handle on the frame is adjustable in height and allows the operator to work in a correct
and safe posture.
•
The controls
are positioned on top
of the frame (fig.1.2)
•
The electrical box
(fig.1.3)
contains the electric switching
devices and the inverter. The motor
feeding cable and the main feeding cable are plugged in the
socket located on the bottom of the box.
•
The water tank
is on the opposite side of the frame, so that the
weight of the
water has no influence on the operation of the machine. The frame weight, on the other hand, is fully absorbed by the
driving wheels.
•
The motor
, mounted on the base plate, is driving the three heads with a belt system. The planetary motion derives
from the friction between the tools and the floor, which is allowing the tools to spin in either clockwise or
counterclockwise direction. The design ensures that the tools will not force themselves against the resistance of the
floor surface. Instead, the machine will alternate directions to accommodate to a “high spot” or a “low spot”
imperfections in the floor without causing damage to the floor or the machine.
