Edge bander is a kind of woodworking machinery and a vital processing flow of furniture production line. It can replace traditional manual processes with highly automated machinery with the advantages of high processing quality and fast processing efficiency.
Pre-milling: Double milling cutters are used to modify the ripple marks, burrs or non-vertical phenomenon caused by the panel saw processing to achieve a better edge sealing effect and to make the edge band and the board more tightly fit, with better integrity and aesthetics.
Adhesive edge banding: Adopting a unique structure, evenly apply adhesive on both sides of the edge banding plate and edge banding material to ensure a stronger adhesion.
Head-to-head: Through precise linear guide rail movement, automatic tracking of the mould and high-frequency, high-speed motor fast cutting structure to ensure the cut surface is smooth and smooth.
Finishing: Both the profile automatic tracking and high-frequency, high-speed motor structure are used to ensure the smoothness of the upper and lower parts of the trimmed board. It is used to repair excess edge banding material above and below the edge band of the plate. The finishing knife is an R-shaped knife. It is mainly used for PVC and acrylic edge banding for panel furniture. Edge banding with a thickness of 0.8 mm or more is preferred.
Scraping: Used to eliminate the ripple marks caused by the non-linear motion of the trimming process so that the upper and lower parts of the board are smoother and cleaner.
Polishing: Clean the processed sheet with a cotton polishing wheel, and make the edge sealing end surface smoother by polishing.
Slotting: It is used for direct slotting of wardrobe side panels, bottom plates, etc., reducing the process of panel sawing, and it is more convenient and fast. It can also be used for slotting aluminium edging door panels.
This material has excellent adhesive strength. It's easy to use and even easier to work with. It is the most popular edge banding material due to its low cost and extra durability. It also doesn't require a complex finishing process. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) edge bands are a great and environmentally friendly alternative to PVC edge banding. It has high impact resistance, is lower in density, has good adhesion properties, is recyclable, and is safe to incinerate.
Wood veneer is the preferred edge banding material for drawer fronts, plywood cabinet sides, and MDF wardrobe doors. The pre-sanded nature of wood veneer is attractive, strong, durable, and designed to absorb stains and finishes. It provides a clean solid-wood look that seamlessly matches with most wood furniture.Veneer edge banding strips are produced by joining thin slices of wood joined together in a roll using finger jointing to form a continuous master veneer roll. Common types of tree species that make veneer include maple, mahogany, walnut, oak, ash, and birch. The veneer edging strips usually features a heat-sensitive glue backing.
Solid wood is still the preferred choice for edge banding in many applications. The material offers a natural look and feel that matches well with almost any kind of furniture piece, especially if it has one solid color or tone throughout.Woodworking professionals love solid wood edge strips since they are durable, affordable, easy to fix, refinish, and recyclable. When compared to wood veneer edge band tape, solid wood is more resistant to chipping. Solid wood glue is also more reliable and less prone to peeling.
PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate) is an acrylic resin and one of the most durable options for edge banding. It's a tough, shatter-resistant material that can be as thin as .075mm to as thick as 12mm. This makes it perfect for use in heavy-duty applications such as flooring or countertops.
Functional differences
1. Semi-automatic edge banding machine has the functions of preheating, gluing, trimming, scraping, and polishing. Some manufacturers even omit the function of preheating edge material to save production costs.
2. Automatic edging machine has more complete functions, mainly pre-grinding, gluing, banding, binding, rough trimming, finishing, scoring, polishing, slotting, etc. The main feature is that the degree of automation is higher than that of semi-automation, edging efficiency is also higher, and the beauty is also higher.
Practical differences
1. The semi-automatic edge banding machine mainly applies to the edge banding of MDF and joinery and the automatic production line for conveying the edge banding board.
2. Automatic edge banding machine mainly applies to the edge banding of medium solid wood panels, planer beds, polymer door panels, and plywood. It is suitable for large and medium-sized furniture, cabinet, and other panel furniture edge banding machine manufacturers.
In addition to the difference in appearance, the most fundamental difference between the two machines is the function. Compared with the semi-automatic edge banding machine, the automatic edge banding machine is relatively complete. Therefore, you can use a semi-automatic edge banding machine if the factory is small or the banding board is only MDF and detail board. If it is some high-grade custom furniture edging, it is recommended to use the fully automatic edging machine. Therefore, edge banding machines should consider their production edge banding needs in addition to quality and price when buying and selling.
Preparation work: Firstly, it is necessary to install the edge banding strip or edge banding tape into the feeding device of the edge banding machine. Edge banding or tape is usually supplied in the form of rolls, and there is a shaft in the feeding device that fixes it.
Size adjustment: As needed, the parameters on the edge banding machine can be adjusted, such as thickness, width, speed, etc., to adapt to different sizes of boards.
Run the edge banding machine: Send the boards that need to be edge banding into the working area of the edge banding machine. Generally, edge banding machines have one or more rollers that push the sheet metal under the edge banding strip or strip.
Gluing: The edge banding machine performs gluing operations simultaneously. It will evenly apply glue to the edges of the board and ensure good adhesion between the edge banding strip or tape and the board.
Edge banding: Next, the edge banding machine will pull the edge banding strip or strip out of the feeding device and press it onto the edge of the board. Edge banding machines typically use heating devices to bond edge banding strips or strips with the edges of the sheet metal.
Cutting and shaping: Once the edge banding strip or strip is bonded to the board, the edge banding machine automatically performs cutting and shaping operations, trimming off excess edge banding material and making it perfectly bond with the edges of the board.
Through the above steps, the edge banding machine can efficiently apply edge banding strips or strips to the edges of the board, achieving a beautiful and protective effect. These steps may vary slightly depending on the specific edge banding machine model and operating method, but the overall principle is roughly similar.
The correct operation and use of automatic edge banding machine can not only ensure the high quality of products, but also make the performance of edge banding machine stable, so as to avoid equipment failure and maintenance problems caused by improper operation
Before installation, the guide rail of edge banding machine should be checked whether it is flat and whether both ends are flush, and quenching process should be carried out.
01
If the parts processed by outsourcing are not processed according to the drawings, they will be returned and the outsourcing manufacturer shall be responsible for certain losses. For the workpiece that is required to be machined by edge banding machine in the factory, if it is not processed according to the requirements of the drawing, it shall be reassembled and processed.
02
Before installing the bearings of the edge banding machine, the rubber pot part and the belt pulley part must be distinguished. All imported bearings should be selected and installed according to the installation steps.
03
Do not knock the conveyor belt motor of the edge banding machine with force to avoid damaging the device in the reducer
04
The transmission chain and conveying chain of the edge banding machine should be checked. If it is too tight or too loose, it should be moderate.
05
Every machine need to adjust and maintain for their best performance. Edgebanding machine contains the processes of: pre-milling, spray anti-glue coating agent, preheating of the plate, pressure sealing and cutting, front and rear cutting and roughing up and down, scratch repair and polishing, each process needs to check regularly in case of the worn of machine parts or computer system failure cause the damage of machine.
Clean up the external of edgebanding machine regularly. First of all, we must clean the wood chips and various wood debris generated during the production process, to prevent the accumulating of wood chips which will cause the machine get stuck, affect the normal use of the edge banding machine. Secondly, clean the stains on the surface of the machine in time, to keep the edge banding machine tidy and prevent corrosion damage to the surface of the edgebanding machine.
Regular lubrication of the edge banding machine is very important. The bearings of the various parts should be lubricated regularly, and the proper lubricating oil must be selected.
Regular inspections. Regularly check and maintain the edge banding machine. During the maintenance process, carefully check the wear and tear of the gears, bearings, pressure rollers, conveyor chain pads, support beam wheel, buffing wheel and other parts of the edge banding machine, and replace the worn parts in time.
The edge banding machine computer system maintenance. Today's edge banding machines are mostly connected to computers, so it can be automated by computer program. If there is a problem with the computer system, it will affect the normal use of the machine.
