FM365
Straight Edge Bander
A four-metre straight edge bander that finishes the joint in one pass — seven stations from gluing to polishing, 9–60 mm panels, and a 1,350 mm shipping height for container loading.

Overview
- Seven stations on one bed: gluing, pressing, head-and-tail trimming, fine trimming, scraping, cleaning and polishing.
- 4,010 mm from infeed to outfeed, so the panel is finished in one pass instead of moving between machines.
- Built for shelves, panels and cabinet parts in a mixed custom batch.
- The pressure beam lifts electrically to 65 mm.
- A 60 mm worktop and a 9 mm skin run under the same roller, with no hand crank to reset between them.
- Frame at 1,750 mm as standard, or 1,350 mm for container loading.
- That is the difference between shipping in a 40 ft box and needing a flat rack.

Station sequence
Set the job on the control screen, then the panel passes the seven processing cells in this order.
01
Control screen
Job set-up runs from a numeric panel or an industrial touch screen running Windows, per configuration. Parameters are entered by touch or input box, and the effect of a change shows at once.
02
Gluing
Hot-melt adhesive is heated and melted, then applied to the panel edge before the band is pressed on.
03
Pressing
High-precision pressure wheels load the band evenly the moment it meets the panel, so the joint sits flat and holds.
04
Head-and-tail trimming
The band is cut flush at the leading and trailing ends of the panel — quickly, and without ragged corners.
05
Fine trimming
Top and bottom overhang is trimmed back to the panel face; this is the pass that decides how clean the joint reads.
06
Scraping
The upper and lower edges are scraped to take off trim knife marks, and surplus glue between band and panel is removed.
07
Cleaning
Residual hot-melt is diluted and isolated before polishing, so it lifts off instead of being smeared along the edge.
08
Polishing
Cotton polishing wheels clean the finished edge, leaving it smooth and even with the panel surface.

What the machine is built to do
- Seven stations, one passGluing, pressing, head-and-tail trimming, fine trimming, scraping, cleaning and polishing all sit on the same bed, in the order the panel meets them.
- Straight edge 9 – 60 mmThin skins and 60 mm worktops run on one setting, so a mixed order does not need a second machine or a second shift.
- Electric beam lift to 65 mmThe pressure beam is raised and set electrically rather than by hand crank, which is what makes short runs of very different thicknesses practical.
- 4,010 mm bedA compact frame for a shop where floor space is the constraint, without dropping any of the seven stations.
- 1,350 mm shipping heightBuilt at 1,750 mm as standard; the low-frame version goes into a 40 ft container instead of costing a flat rack.
- Component origin declaredPLC, drives, motors, screen and switches are domestic supply as standard. Imported components can be specified as a customization and are quoted as such.
