Exceptional quality and reliability are what Knoll Feinmechanik GmbH's customers expect. Micrometre precision is crucial when it comes to grinding skis and snowboards. Whether it is for ski rental providers or professional ski racing teams, the ski service machines grind up to 25,000 pairs of skis every year. The ETP-EXPRESS clamping connection guarantees a unique true running accuracy, which means that the waste rate is close to zero.
The manufacture of automatic systems for ski and board service has been one of Knoll Feinmechaniks core competencies for decades. The systems can process up to 100 pairs of skies per hour fully automatically with the work steps base stone grinding, side edge grinding, edge tuning on the base side and waxing/polishing.
Easy handling and assembly
Two to six ETP-EXPRESS connections are installed in the various grinding machines. Not only does this guarantee the highest standards for each grinding operation, but it also saves material.
In addition to their long-lasting quality, what makes the ETP-EXPRESS hydraulic clamping connection particularly impressive is that they are so easy and quick to assemble. Balancing is no longer necessary and there is virtually no risk of axial shifting during assembly . Even after being assembled several times, the clamping bush retains its unique true running accuracy.
ETP-EXPRESS' consistent quality and first-class service provide the ideal basis for a long-term partnership – that and the perfectly grinded skis, of course.
Since we fitted our ski service machines with the ETP-EXPRESS hydraulic clamping connections, the ski grinding quality has improved significantly
