Description

AUTOMATIC EDGE BANDING MACHINE WITH GLUE POT, RECTIFYING GROUP, BUTTING GROUP WITH RAY UNIT SCM GROUP Mod. MINIMAX ME 40T – As per E.C. rules
The automatic edge banders of “ME” range are simple and complete with the possibility to glue even edges in solid wood strips up to 5 mm, characteristics that make them the top-of-the-range solution for artisan carpentry.

Perfect edge joint line
Pre-Milling Unit. Panel edge surface without any imperfections before the gluing operation. It utilizes 2 tools (1 tool for me 28t) with opposing rotation and timed intervention that, through the removal operation, corrects any panel imperfections caused by the saw cutting process and panel storage. The independent exhaust system and the air blowing device removes dust and chips from the panel.
– Diamond cutters available as standard feature

Ideal Edge Application.
Gluing group
The glue is heated quickly and homogeneously by the resistances.
The automatic lowering of the temperature in case of temporary inactivity of the machine prevents the glue from burning.
A new innovative self-lubricating system for the glue pot allows more extensive use of the edge bander without the need for greasing.
2 rolls effectively and uniformly press the edge onto the piece.
The glue spreading roll with internal resistance ensures uniform glue distribution and at the maximum working temperature even on panels of the maximum workable height.
Available like optional, the quick release of the glue pot and the PU glue pot.

Brillant idea
End-Cutting Unit with “Radius”. The unit allows you to make a radius on the corners of the edged panel without the need for the operator to have to finish by hand at a later stage: brillant idea to a finished product of high quality.

Ease-of-use
Control Panel. Optimal managing of the machine thanks to the 4” graphic display with large and bright characters, keyboard with LED “soft touch” keys, adjustment and indication of the temperature for the glue pot.

PLC Control System.
Simple and intuitive, it allows an easy selection of all the main functions and guides the operator during maintenance, cleaning and diagnostic operations.

Perfect finish quality
Spray-mist Device and Anti-adhesive Unit for Edge Finish. The units improve the panel cleaning and polishing.
