Indicating lights located on a panel directly over the feed belt, direct an operator where to specifically place parts. This will result in even belt and machine wear helping you save up to 50% on abrasives costs. Multiply your savings on multi-head machines. Computer programs measure belt usage for every lane across the width of the machine independently for each sanding head.
