ABSTRACT:
An imageable belt includes a seam that is finished using an abrasive finishing machine. The seam comprises a seam width with adhesive material disposed thereon. The finishing process includes an abrasive finishing media with a finishing surface and a backer bar. The backer bar comprises a backer bar radius. The backer bar surface is positioned against the belt inner surface so that the belt outer surface contacts the finishing surface to define a finishing contact arc with respect to the backer bar radius. A tension, feed rate and pressure are applied to the finishing media. Using the finishing machine, the seam is then finished to remove the adhesive material. The finishing process results in a seam that is imageable. In one embodiment, the backer bar radius is adjusted so that the finishing contact arc covers the seam width.
