Bad Oeynhausen (Reuterstraße 15)New on Amplifa
Industrial manufactory for sanding technology
Karl Heesemann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, based in Bad Oeynhausen, develops and manufactures industrial sanding machines for wood and metal applications. Founded in 1933, the company sees itself as an industrial manufactory and offers individually designed machine solutions with a high degree of in-house production: machine frames and assemblies such as rollers and drums are produced in the company's own machine shop (welding, turning, milling), the sanding units are manufactured in-house and all rotating assemblies are precision-balanced internally. Control software and application programs are also programmed by the in-house development team. The product portfolio includes wide belt sanding machines and sanding automation systems for calibrating, fine sanding, lacquer intermediate sanding, high-gloss sanding, structuring and cleaning of panels, solid wood and veneered workpieces, as well as metal sanding machines such as the profiRounder for sanding contours, boreholes and grooves. The machines are used worldwide by industrial corporations and craft businesses in the furniture and parquet industry as well as in interior fitting and metal processing; the company is internationally represented through a dealer network and service centers.

Quality
The in-house manufactured assemblies are designed for precision; all rotating components such as rollers, drums and drive pulleys are precision-balanced in-house. Ribbed belts (Poly-V) and speed-synchronized roller drives ensure low-vibration sanding units and reproducible surface quality.
