How the Edge Banding Machine Works

Preparation work
Firstly, it is necessary to install the edge banding strip or edge banding tape into the feeding device of the edge banding machine. Edge banding or tape is usually supplied in the form of rolls, and there is a shaft in the feeding device that fixes it.

Size adjustment
As needed, the parameters on the edge banding machine can be adjusted, such as thickness, width, speed, etc., to adapt to different sizes of boards.

Run the edge banding machine
Send the boards that need to be edge banding into the working area of the edge banding machine. Generally, edge banding machines have one or more rollers that push the sheet metal under the edge banding strip or strip.

Gluing
The edge banding machine performs gluing operations simultaneously. It will evenly apply glue to the edges of the board and ensure good adhesion between the edge banding strip or tape and the board.

Edge banding
Next, the edge banding machine will pull the edge banding strip or strip out of the feeding device and press it onto the edge of the board. Edge banding machines typically use heating devices to bond edge banding strips or strips with the edges of the sheet metal.

Cutting and shaping
Once the edge banding strip or strip is bonded to the board, the edge banding machine automatically performs cutting and shaping operations, trimming off excess edge banding material and making it perfectly bond with the edges of the board.

Safety Precautions When Using the Edge Banding Machine

The correct operation and use of automatic edge banding machine can not only ensure the high quality of products, but also make the performance of edge banding machine stable, so as to avoid equipment failure and maintenance problems caused by improper operation

1. Before installation, the guide rail of edge banding machine should be checked whether it is flat and whether both ends are flush, and quenching process should be carried out.

2. If the parts processed by outsourcing are not processed according to the drawings, they will be returned and the outsourcing manufacturer shall be responsible for certain losses. For the workpiece that is required to be machined by edge banding machine in the factory, if it is not processed according to the requirements of the drawing, it shall be reassembled and processed.

3. Before installing the bearings of the edge banding machine, the rubber pot part and the belt pulley part must be distinguished. All imported bearings should be selected and installed according to the installation steps.

4. Do not knock the conveyor belt motor of the edge banding machine with force to avoid damaging the device in the reducer

5.The transmission chain and conveying chain of the edge banding machine should be checked. If it is too tight or too loose, it should be moderate.

Common Materials Used For Edge Banding Machine

PVC
This material has excellent adhesive strength. It's easy to use and even easier to work with. It is the most popular edge banding material due to its low cost and extra durability. It also doesn't require a complex finishing process. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) edge bands are a great and environmentally friendly alternative to PVC edge banding. It has high impact resistance, is lower in density, has good adhesion properties, is recyclable, and is safe to incinerate.

Wood veneer
Wood veneer is the preferred edge banding material for drawer fronts, plywood cabinet sides, and MDF wardrobe doors. The pre-sanded nature of wood veneer is attractive, strong, durable, and designed to absorb stains and finishes. It provides a clean solid-wood look that seamlessly matches with most wood furniture.Veneer edge banding strips are produced by joining thin slices of wood joined together in a roll using finger jointing to form a continuous master veneer roll. Common types of tree species that make veneer include maple, mahogany, walnut, oak, ash, and birch. The veneer edging strips usually features a heat-sensitive glue backing.

Solid wood
Solid wood is still the preferred choice for edge banding in many applications. The material offers a natural look and feel that matches well with almost any kind of furniture piece, especially if it has one solid color or tone throughout.Woodworking professionals love solid wood edge strips since they are durable, affordable, easy to fix, refinish, and recyclable. When compared to wood veneer edge band tape, solid wood is more resistant to chipping. Solid wood glue is also more reliable and less prone to peeling.

Acrylic/PMMA
PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate) is an acrylic resin and one of the most durable options for edge banding. It's a tough, shatter-resistant material that can be as thin as .075mm to as thick as 12mm. This makes it perfect for use in heavy-duty applications such as flooring or countertops.
