FM368Z
Narrow-Panel Straight Edge Bander
The FM368 bed set up for narrow work: strips from 30 mm wide run through the same eight cells, from gluing to polishing.

Overview
- Eight processing cells: gluing, pressing, head-and-tail trimming, rough trimming, fine trimming, scraping, cleaning and polishing.
- Panel width from 30 mm — narrow strips and edge build-ups that a standard fence would push off line.
- 9–60 mm thickness, 16–23 m/min, on a 4,700 mm bed.
- Built for shelves, frames and small parts in a mixed custom batch.
- 11 kW total, 380 V, 0.7 MPa air.

Station sequence
Set the job on the screen; the panel then passes eight cells from gluing to polishing.
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
Gluing
Hot-melt adhesive is melted and applied to the panel edge before the band is pressed on.
03
Pressing
High-precision pressure wheels load the band evenly as 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 — quickly, and without ragged corners.
05
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.
06
Fine trimming
The finishing cut takes the overhang back to the panel face; this is the pass that decides how clean the joint reads.
07
Scraping
Upper and lower edges are scraped to remove trim knife marks, and surplus glue between band and panel comes off.
08
Cleaning
Residual hot-melt is diluted and isolated before polishing, so it lifts off instead of being smeared along the edge.
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
- 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.
- Narrow panels to 30 mmThe fence and the pressure are set for strips, so a narrow part is banded on the line instead of being hand-finished.
- Same eight cells as FM368Gluing through polishing on one setting, on the shortest bed in the series.
