Straight Edge Bander with Pre-Milling

FM368 with the pre-milling head in front: the saw marks and the out-of-square edge are cut away before the glue goes on, on a 6,200 mm bed.

FM368J — Straight Edge Bander with Pre-Milling

Overview

  • Eight processing cells: pre-milling, gluing, pressing, head-and-tail trimming, rough trimming, fine trimming, scraping and polishing.
  • Pre-milling takes the ripple left by the panel saw off the edge, which is what decides whether a thin band shows a line.
  • 6,200 mm bed, 9–60 mm panels, 16–23 m/min.
  • Rough and fine trimming on separate heads, so the finishing cut is not asked to do the bulk of the work.
  • 16 kW total, 380 V, 0.7 MPa air; frame at 1,750 mm.

Station sequence

Set the job on the screen; the panel is milled first, then banded and finished through seven cells.

01
Control screen
Job set-up runs from the screen — parameters entered by touch or input box — and a change shows its effect at once.
02
Pre-milling
Two milling cutters re-finish the saw marks, burrs and out-of-square edges left by the panel saw, so the band seats on a clean face.
03
Gluing
Hot-melt adhesive is melted and applied to the panel edge before the band is pressed on.
04
Pressing
High-precision pressure wheels load the band evenly as it meets the panel, so the joint sits flat and holds.
05
Head-and-tail trimming
The band is cut flush at the leading and trailing ends — quickly, and without ragged corners.
06
Rough trimming
The first trim brings the band's upper and lower edges down to the panel faces and leaves the allowance for the finishing head.
07
Fine trimming
The finishing cut takes the overhang back to the panel face; this is the pass that decides how clean the joint reads.
08
Scraping
Upper and lower edges are scraped to remove trim knife marks, and surplus glue between band and panel comes off.
09
Polishing
Cotton polishing wheels clean the finished edge, leaving it smooth and even with the panel face.

What the machine is built to do

  • Pre-milling before gluingTwo cutters take the saw marks and the out-of-square edge off the panel first, so the band meets a clean face instead of bridging a ripple.
  • Electric beam liftThe pressure beam is set from the screen rather than by hand crank, so a mixed batch of thicknesses needs no reset between panels.
