Straight Edge Bander

Rough trimming takes the bulk of the overhang, fine trimming takes the last fraction of a millimetre: two cuts on a 6,000 mm frame, which is how a straight joint gets its clean line.

FM468 — Straight Edge Bander

Overview

  • Ten processing stations: heat lamp, gluing, pressing, head and tail trimming, rough trimming, fine trimming, corner tracking, scraping, cleaning and double polishing.
  • Rough trimming removes most of the band overhang; fine trimming then takes the last fraction against the panel face, so the knife is not asked to do both jobs at once.
  • 6,000 mm bed with no pre-milling station, which keeps the frame short without dropping the finishing train.
  • 9 to 60 mm at the beam, 16 to 23 m/min feed, 14 kW total.
  • The pressure beam lifts electrically, height set from the screen.
  • Corner tracking handles the trailing end, so the band is cut round the corner rather than left as a step.
  • Frame 1,750 mm as standard, 1,350 mm for container loading.

Station sequence

Screen first, then ten processing cells in the order the panel meets them.

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
Heat lamp
The board and the glue are pre-heated before pressing, which keeps the bond even in cold weather.
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
Corner rounding, head tracking
A high-frequency trimming motor profiles the corners at both ends, so the banded edge runs round the panel without a step.
09
Scraping
Upper and lower edges are scraped to remove trim knife marks, and surplus glue between band and panel comes off.
10
Cleaning
Residual hot-melt is diluted and isolated before polishing, so it lifts off instead of being smeared along the edge.
11
Double polishing
Two sets of cotton wheels finish the edge, for a higher sheen on the joint than a single head gives.

What the machine is built to do

  • Rough then fine, in two stationsThe overhang is split between two heads: rough trimming takes the bulk, fine trimming takes the finish against the panel face.
  • 6,000 mm bedLong enough for a full trimming train, short enough for a shop where the machine sits beside a saw rather than in its own bay.
  • Straight edge 9 to 60 mmA mixed stack of skins and worktops runs without resetting the beam between pieces.
  • Electric beam liftHeight is entered from the screen and held by the beam, up to 65 mm.
  • Corner trackingA high-frequency motor follows the panel end and rounds the corner in the same pass.
  • 1,350 mm shipping heightStandard build is 1,750 mm; the low frame fits a 40 ft container.
