Narrow-Panel Straight Edge Bander

Fifty millimetres is where a bander is judged: the FM708JA holds a strip that narrow under two pressing groups, so the band sits flat instead of riding up at the trim head.

Overview

  • Sixteen numbered cells: display screen, separating agent, pre-milling, heat lamp 1, glue applicator, pressing group 1, heat lamp 2, glue applicator, pressing group 2, head-and-tail trimming, rough and fine trimming, head tracking, scraping, precise flat scraping, cleaning and double polishing.
  • Two heat lamps and two glue applicators, each applicator followed by its own pressing group, so a second pass over the band is heated and pressed rather than pressed cold.
  • Panels from 50 mm wide and 9 to 60 mm thick, band 0.4 to 3 mm thick and 12 to 65 mm wide: the geometry of drawer fronts, shelf strips and narrow door stiles.
  • 16 to 23 m/min on an 8,700 mm frame, 850 mm wide and 1,700 mm high, with 21.5 kW installed.
  • Head tracking sits ahead of the scraping heads, so the band turns the corner at the ends instead of being cut square across it.
  • Precise flat scraping takes the surplus hot-melt off the panel face before two polishing units finish the joint.
  • The pressure beam lifts electrically, and the recipe is held on the display screen rather than on a row of dials.

Station sequence

Station 01 is the display screen; sixteen numbered cells run from separating agent to double 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
Separating agent
A fine spray separates surplus glue from the panel face, so hot-melt does not mark the board after pressing.
03
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.
04
Heat lamp
The board and the glue are pre-heated before pressing, which keeps the bond even in cold weather.
05
Gluing
Hot-melt adhesive is melted and applied to the panel edge before the band is pressed on.
06
Pressing, first group
The first pressure group seats the band applied at the first glue station.
07
Heat lamp
The board and the glue are pre-heated before pressing, which keeps the bond even in cold weather.
08
Gluing
Hot-melt adhesive is melted and applied to the panel edge before the band is pressed on.
09
Pressing
High-precision pressure wheels load the band evenly as it meets the panel, so the joint sits flat and holds.
10
Head-and-tail trimming
The band is cut flush at the leading and trailing ends — quickly, and without ragged corners.
11
Rough and fine trimming
Rough trimming takes the bulk of the overhang and the fine head finishes to the panel face; the two cuts sit on one unit, so the band is not re-clamped between them.
12
Head tracking
Two heads follow the leading and trailing end of the panel, so the band is cut round the corner instead of square across it.
13
Scraping
Upper and lower edges are scraped to remove trim knife marks, and surplus glue between band and panel comes off.
14
Precise flat scraping
A flexible scraper takes surplus hot-melt off the panel face and the band, leaving the edge flat before polishing.
15
Cleaning
Residual hot-melt is diluted and isolated before polishing, so it lifts off instead of being smeared along the edge.
16
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

  • Built around a 50 mm stripThe bed and the beam are sized for a narrow panel: a strip that narrow needs to be held across its full width, which is the difference between a flat band and one that lifts at the trimmer.
  • Two lamps, two pressesHeat, glue, press, heat, glue, press: each glue applicator has its own lamp and its own pressing group, so the second application is not run at the setting of the first.
  • 9 to 60 mm thickness in one beam settingThe electric beam lift covers thin drawer fronts and 60 mm door blanks without a mechanical reset between batches.
  • Head tracking before scrapingThe ends are tracked first, so the corner radius is cut round and the scraping heads then clean the band behind it in the same pass.
  • Double polishingTwo sets of cotton wheels finish the edge, for a higher sheen than a single head gives on a narrow strip.
  • 8.7 m frameShort enough for a small bay, with all sixteen cells present: nothing is dropped to save length.
