This thesis focuses on the optimization of grinding parameters on a wide belt grinding machine, carried out at the company Mizarstvo Otmar Tatjana Mušič s.p. The objective was to determine the optimal machine settings for different materials and surface treatments – including the calibration of particleboard and MDF panels, sanding of veneer, lacquered surfaces, and solid wood. Through experimental work and systematic testing of the feed speed, abrasive belt speed, and pressure shoe settings, the influence of individual parameters on thickness uniformity and surface quality was assessed. The results demonstrated that proper adjustment of grinding parameters significantly improves the quality of sanding, reduces defects such as edge burn-through, uneven thickness, or visible scratches, and enhances the repeatability of the process.
