Frequently asked questions about Danese products

It measures softness through material deflection. For non-rigid leather, ISO 17235 (IULTCS IUP 36) is the reference non-destructive method. Softness and thickness are different measurements.

Use the 20 mm ring for very soft, fine leather; 25 mm is the usual intermediate choice. For thick, less soft leather, use the 35 mm opening without a reducing ring. Keep the same diameter when comparing samples.

Place the instrument horizontally on its base. Open the lever, insert leather with the reference plate on top, and release the lever completely. Press ZERO at the end of travel and check that the display remains steady at 1.50.

Open the lever and insert the leather. Lower slowly until the sample is clamped, then complete the gravity release to apply the weight and read the actual value. Repeat at several points using the same ring and procedure.

Whenever the batch or leather type changes, select the ring again and repeat preparation and reset. Record the diameter together with the measured values so results can be compared.

Send the model, serial number and a video showing the instrument position, ring, reset with the reference plate and complete measurement. Include the reading and its variation to help distinguish a procedural issue from an instrument fault.

Yes. Compare samples and batches after different treatments, keeping the procedure and diameter constant and documenting test conditions. Acceptance requirements must be defined for the leather article and application.

The choice depends on material, access to the measuring point, working environment and required method. Tell us whether you need a quick production check or a laboratory measurement so we can assess model, opening and configuration.

The spring configuration uses a calibrated spring to generate the specified load. A vertically falling weight version, more suitable for a bench, can also be assessed. Configuration and conformity must relate to the exact assembly and agreed procedure.

No. Do not lubricate a Calati thickness gauge. If movement or return is irregular, contact support with the model and symptoms before taking action.

Provide the model, serial number, reading with the contacts closed, and details of impacts or damage. Include contact photos and a short video of the movement for an initial assessment.

We can assess this. Send a sketch or video of the grip and workstation, together with the number of instruments. The 300 series lever has an established geometry; feasibility, quantities and cost must be considered together.

The range includes the protected 300PCT analogue gauge for damp tannery environments and work near splitting machines. Describe actual operating conditions so we can check the configuration’s suitability.

The USB HID receiver enters the value in the active field like a keyboard. The receiving software can therefore capture the number without a specific Calati integration.

Yes. In HID mode, the value is entered in the active cell or field. Before use, check the number format, decimal separator and cursor position on the destination computer.

The HID configuration described supports a dot, comma or no separator. Choose the format expected by the spreadsheet or receiving software.

The HID configuration provides ENTER, TAB or no final command. Choose according to the data-entry path required by the software.

Configurations have included mm, oz, custom units and rounding to 0.05. For a new supply, confirm availability for the model and firmware version specified in the quotation.

HID types the value in the active field; Selevision includes dedicated software and a licence. Choose according to your data workflow and confirm features, terms and renewals in the current quotation. The wireless/WiFi trade name does not imply connection to your company Wi-Fi network.

Provide the leather type, processing stage, desired result, machine, dimensions and grit. Selection considers the leather article, backing and abrasive treatment.

LB is the versatile option. Consider FB where moisture and backing strength require particular attention. Verify the choice under actual processing conditions.

CARM RC is stearate-treated paper offered for nubuck and applications where the final handle matters. Trials should assess the leather result and performance over time.

CARM KP20 is the option to assess. Its semi-open abrasive coating helps remove residues and reduce clogging.

No. Backing, treatment, machine and leather also matter. Compare abrasives intended for the same application; grit alone is insufficient.

Keep the machine, leather article and settings as consistent as possible. Record surface quality, quantity processed, useful life, belt changes and waste. Compare processing cost as well as abrasive price.

Yes. Send the make, model, belt dimensions, grit and quantity. Compatibility and availability must be confirmed for the requested size.

Send abrasive type and batch, grit, dimensions, machine, leather type and photos of the break or clogging. Explain when the issue occurs and identify the comparison product.

eZipCut pneumatic cutters are intended for cutting and trimming leather and may suit textiles and technical materials. Send a sample or description, thickness and required result so the configuration can be assessed.

Send material type and thickness, processing stage, required cut and a workstation video. Selection depends on the application; the quotation should include a comparative technical table for both models.

Yes, we can assess it. Send overall dimensions, material path, grip method and frequency of use. The proposal will reflect actual operating conditions.

Provide model, serial number, affected part and symptoms, with photos and a short video. For cutting problems, also specify the material being processed.

Yes. The application has been confirmed on raw and salted hides and subsequent stages through to finished leather. A representative trial lets us assess the desired mark on your material.

Yes. Show the required result and how the operator works. A workstation has also been developed to guide rigid sheets and control marking from the opposite side of the table.

No. Timing and feasibility depend on the application. We need drawings, dimensions, material, operator position and control method. A previous project’s timing is not a delivery commitment for a new order.

Elastic staking-machine belts using technical fabrics and antistatic solutions can be assessed. Provide the machine, dimensions and operating conditions to select a suitable belt.

No. Re Brush should not be treated as a leather-polishing product. Send the process, machine model and existing brush details so we can check the application.

Provide machine make, model and serial number, plus component photos and dimensions. A sample or drawing may be needed if a photograph is insufficient.

We need the machine make and model, component dimensions and processing stage, such as limed hides or wet blue. The combination must be assessed for the specific application.

Describe the material, desired result, throughput, available space and connections. Add photos or a video of the current process to assess a technical proposal and timing.

Yes. Send model, serial number, fault description and images. Repair, overhaul, any return shipment and costs must be agreed for the specific instrument.

Provide the product or application, quantity, dimensions or configuration, destination country and required documentation. If you do not know the model, describe the problem. Product enquiries: office@danese.srl.
