Edge banding machines

When making furniture from chipboard, MDF or furniture panels, there is a need to finish the ends of the blanks, which means gluing edge material on them in the form of thin strips of melamine, PVC, ABS or natural veneer. Edge banding performs a decorative and protective function, and an edge banding machine is used to perform such work. Neither a furniture making workshop nor a large furniture factory can do without this equipment. With its help, you can not only carefully and quickly trim the edges of workpieces, but also process the glued material, carefully removing its overhangs. You can buy an edging machine profitably, without wasting time and effort, in the Stancomplect online store.

Types of edge banding machines

The modern market offers a wide range of machines for gluing edge material. Among all this diversity, the following types of edge banding equipment can be distinguished:

1. Automatic pass-through machines designed for edging rectilinear workpieces with uninterrupted feeding. Such machines are used in serial furniture production and can operate continuously 24 hours a day, processing 3500-4000 linear meters of edges per shift;
2. Double-sided edge banding machines of the pass-through type - they also operate in automatic mode, featuring high productivity, while simultaneously applying an edge to both sides of a straight workpiece in one pass. In our catalog you will also find a four-sided edge banding line made on the basis of two double-sided KDT KE-2468JHSKCAD machines;
3. Curvilinear edgebander, designed for lining the ends of shaped workpieces with any radius of curvature, as well as straight edges. They are produced in stationary and portable versions, and their main distinguishing feature is the manual feeding of workpieces;
4. Manual edgebander, which can be held in your hands during operation, moving along the end of the workpiece. They can also be used in a stationary position, for which the machine includes an expansion table with a metal frame. It can veneer straight and curved workpieces.

In the catalog of our online store you will find all these types of machines and you will be able to choose an edgebander that is most suitable for the purposes of your production.

Advantages of edge banding machines for furniture

Compared to manual methods of lining the ends with edging material, the use of special equipment for this purpose has a number of important advantages:

• more accurate and precise application of the edge, which ensures the perfect appearance of the finished product;
• high speed of end processing, thanks to which large volumes of parts can be processed in a short period of time. This increases productivity and makes it possible to save on wages;
• saving edge material, which is consumed with minimal losses;
• high-quality and durable gluing, thanks to good heating of the glue, edge material and the end of the workpiece, as well as the application of the adhesive composition not only to the edge, but also to the workpiece (in machines with two glue rollers).

Features of using machines for gluing edges

The edge banding machine is modern innovative equipment with wide functionality. In addition to gluing the edge material, it can perform other functions:

1. Finishing the surface before facing by milling or jointing, in order to eliminate minor defects and prevent the formation of chips. To do this, the machines are equipped with a jointing unit with diamond cutters or pre-milling (KDT KE-655JS);
2. Removing edge overhangs using a milling unit - every pass-through edge gluing machine and some models with manual feed have it;
3. Edge processing after gluing and milling to eliminate kinematic waves, remove micro-irregularities in the gluing areas, as well as excess glue. This function is performed by a scraping unit, which can be equipped with straight or radius knives;
4. Polishing the glued edge in the places of milling and scraping, for which a special polishing unit is used;
5. Supporting the workpiece in curved edge banding machines for furniture for convenience and ease of operation of the operator when manually feeding the workpiece. Some models of such machines (XB-630, W-3 or KN-620) are equipped with a rotating telescopic arm, on which a work table is mounted with vacuum fixation of the workpiece.

How to choose an edge banding machine

If you decide to buy an edge banding machine, it is important to choose the right type and model so as not to overpay for extra power and functions. When choosing this equipment you need to consider:

• the needs of your production - whether you produce single products or are engaged in serial production of furniture. In the second case, you should buy a pass-through gluing machine with automatic feed;
• dimensions of the equipment and dimensions of the production room - after installing the machine, there should be enough space for its maintenance, as well as the operator’s work, delivery of workpieces, their loading and unloading;
• the presence of the functions you need - preliminary milling of the end, bevel formation, scraping, polishing and others;
• minimum dimensions of processed parts;
• maximum edge width - it depends on the size of the guides installed on the machine;
• feed speed of the workpiece or tape (in machines with manual feed) - work productivity depends on it. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the real capabilities of the operator to load workpieces manually.

Recommendations from experts on the use of edge banding machines

Each machine for lining the ends with edging material has its own characteristics and capabilities. Therefore, before you start using such equipment, you must carefully study the instructions for its use.

When testing and setting up the machine, you should not use parts prepared for processing. Small scraps of material are suitable for this.
