The Afila 3rd is the machine for sharpening cutters assembled on punchers used on Blanker Economy and Blanker Top.

The cutter is fixed inside a high precision self-centering chuck and then it is sharpened semi-automatically by means of the new fixing device of the grinding stones.

After having fitted the grinding stones and adjusted the inclination of the same, the sharpening is executed semi-automatically thanks to the new device, which is only slightly guided by the operator; such movement is controlled by oscillating motors and grants a uniform, regular and repetitive sharpening.

The new device allows also to the less experienced operator to sharpen correctly the cutters, giving the right inclination and the appropriate cutting edge
