3+3 is a radial head with 6 tool holder shafts where can be fitted abrasive resin diamonds and diamond tools to hone porcelain ceramic and lapato tiles.
It is this two ductile iron crankcase. Gears and internal gears made of special materials heat-treated.
The thrust of work is held by flange motorcycle transmission. The fixed flange to keep only the pair of reaction without being stuck rigidly to rorpo machine.
The key feature of this head is the strength of all components designed to withstand very demanding applications and extreme operating conditions.
3+3 your head allows you to work across a large area of the other heads, with the possibility of changing the operating points from the three external tools.
The 3+3 puts in combined rotation 6 different tools and each of them has a different point of contact, with 6 different contact inclinations with regard to the reference radial that passes through the centre of the tools and the centre of the head.
Therefore there are 6 different working signs, that tend to cross each other and combine rotation and the lateral move of the head system.

The TS3 head has been designed to finish granite and ceramic surfaces once gauged by calibrating heads or rolls.
You may even use it as an excellent calibrating head if you add coarse-textured diamond tools.
But it has been specifically designed and developed to finish surfaces that have been gauged by aggressive tools.
As everyone knows, the calibrating process carried out in the first few polishing stations by aggressive tools to remove material or by diamond rolls or radial heads (especially before granite-strip polishing machines or ceramic polishing machines) leaves more or less deep marks, and the surface is not always perfectly gauged and levelled out. That is why the TS3 has been designed to finish and improve the work of the calibrating heads.
The 3 satellites are 200 mm in diameter, with a marked slope, so it can work not on just one point of the satellite (as opposed to the standard satellite calibrating heads with 5 or 6 satellites, 150 mm in diameter) but all across the radius of the tool, which, with its marked slope, will touch up the surface of the material with a large section of the tool (all across the radius) and very powerfully (steep slope). Obviously, any surface marks and flaws are further gauged and levelled out, thus providing a perfect, flawless planar surface, as well as optimising the use of diamond on the next heads, helping save some stations and start off even before using abrasives for the finishing/polishing process. This means more abrasives are used in the finishing process. So, in other words, the TS3 helps improve not only the calibrating results but also the glossy finish of the material.

The Mix head is a revolution in the mechanics of polishing heads, as it has 3 satellites and 3 fickert arms that work on the surface all at the same time .
Such mechanism has been designed to solve 2 problems that may occur when polishing granite:
1 – The deep marks left on the surface by the satellite heads in the first few stations of the polishing machines.
2 – The need to use several stations after the calibrating heads, with diamond tools on fickert heads, to the detriment of the finish.
The Mix head, with its 3 satellites and 3 flickert units:
a) remarkably reduces the section of the material, even at zero pressure, thus acting as a veritable calibrating head.
b) its 3 flickert units, despite calibrating at the same time as the satellites, act as limit switches for the satellites, thus removing the marks left by the aggression of the satellite tools and helping achieve excellent levelling results.
c) as a consequence, because the material is so well levelled out and free of any of the usual deep marks, diamond consumption on the next stations is optimised, so fewer flickert TYPE heads need to be used and the material is already finished by the consumable abrasives. Which, of course, adds value to the material.

The DAMP is a special satellite head with 5 or 6 abrasive tools used to hone/lap even tiles of different size. It consists of a revolving casing in spheroid graphite cast iron, equipped with 5 or 6 grindstones which are secured to special corrosion-proof rests. The internal gears, bearings and all other mechanisms are soaked in an oil bath, with long-life, heat-proof seals. The motor drive provides the working force. The fixed flange must only withhold the torque reaction, without having to be rigidly fastened to the machine body. distinctive feature of these heads is the special internal vibration damper system that polishes the tile evenly, even when the surface is particularly bent. In addition, the shafts can be angled away from the axis of rotation of the head, to make it easier for the abrasive grindstone to remove and finish the material during the process. The head should be installed on honing machines provided with a backpressure feature.

SOLTEK twenty-year experience in the manufacture of polishing heads has led it to come up with a new-generation calibrating head, the PLANA, which is a trailblazer in the stone processing industry, ideal to calibrate porcelain materials, ceramics, engineered quartz , natural granite and cement.

PLANA’s tools include horizontal-shaft rolls with internal and external holders to prevent any buckling. The size and layout of the rollers form a very small polishing bore so that small sized materials too can be processed. They revolve around their shaft and around the mid-shaft of the head; the rolls and the head guard run at different tangential speeds so the processed surfaces are perfectly level and the calibrating result is better than those of any other calibrating system. As it is a “head”, it can be used on fixed- or mobile-bridge machines, and the size of the processed material can be easily and quickly changed. The guard is made of nodular cast-iron; the gearing is made of high-quality case-hardened steel.

TEC is a calibrating head designed to process ceramics, and procelain materials. The tools, which include 6/8 tapered abrasive disks, are held up both inside and outside to prevent any buckling. With their design and their layout on the revolving shaft of the head, they produce perfectly honed surfaces, with no marks left from the rubbing of the tools on the material. Such heads are ideal to remove the marks left by the calibration of the ceramic tile and to prime the material to be polished straightaway, using swinging-arm heads.
