Physical Components
To start we will be looking at the sub-assemblies that make up your XR28™ Sharpener.
The XR28™ Sharpener can be broken down into four (4) major sub-assemblies.
|
XR28™ Housing  |
Sharpening Head  |
|
Bit Table  |
Water Recycling System  |
1. XR28™ Housing
The XR28™ housing/body is the biggest of the six sub-assemblies and is comprised of several smaller assemblies. This body is the base of your sharpener and houses all other components.
|
The sharpener is mounted using the four mounting holes. |
 |
|
The hood attached at the top provides some extra protection when closed and much needed light when open. |
 |
|
The incomming 24-48VDC power supply connects here, with the easy to reach E-stop, ON and OFF buttons. |
 |
2. Sharpening Head
On the XR28™ the sharpening head contains all the important components, such as the feed pressure, orbital rotation, control board, RFID scanner, main motor and puller splash guard.
|
On the XR28™ the feed pressure is controlled by the linear actuator which is located behind the sharpening head. |
 |
|
The orbital rotation, control board and RFID scanner are all located in the sharpening head. |
 |
|
The main sharpening motor and puller splash guard round out this assembly, with a newly added light. |
 |
3. Bit Table
The bit table locks connects and locks to the housing during transportation and when idle, and has a range of movement when required, even being able to tilt to a maximum of 45 degrees.
|
The easy to use handles allow for quick clamping of bits. |
 |
4. Water recycling system
The XR28™ comes standard with a built in water recycling system.
|
The water recycling system consists of a filter built into the water bag which attaches to the bit table. This consistently provides clean water to the sharpening system. |
 |
|
The built in water pump attaches to the housing and has an auto flush function to prevent damage due to freezing conditions. |
