Description

AUTOMATIC EDGE BANDING MACHINE WITH GLUE POT SCM GROUP Mod. MINIMAX ME 40 – 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.

Designed for a Perfect Finish.
Track panel transport. High productivity with track advancement. Panel position monitoring with encoder (ME 40) ensures total control of the work cycle.

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.

Always precise when cutting
End-Cutting Unit. The unit is equipped with a blade and a high frequency motor to provide the best finishing quality of the machined edge. Furthermore, the absence of belts or other driving systems prevents any vibration assuring the best results at all times.

Quality finishing and versatility
Trimming group: very high edge quality finishing with the rotating copiers. The high frequency motors generate high cutter rotating speed, reducing to a minimum any marks left from trimming and guaranteeing the absence of vibrations.

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.

Optimal finishing
Brushing Unit. With tilted, vertically adjustable motors to optimize the cleaning/polishing action on the panel edge.

Ease-of-use
Automatic Loading for Edges in Strips. The solid wood strips are automatically loaded and synchronized with the introduction of the panels into the machine.

Perfect edge cleaning
Glue Scraping Unit. It eliminates any excess glue on the panel/edge joint.

Perfect radius on PVC/ABS edges
Edge Scraping Unit. High finishing quality of plastic material edges thanks to the radius knives that ensure the complete elimination of any marks left from the trimming unit tools, all equipped with a front and vertical disc copiers (ME 40/ME 35), and a user-friendly device for exclusion of the unit when it is not in use.

Innovation at everybody’s reach
Grooving Unit. The optional unit is able to perform a slot on the panel directly on the edging process, without having to sacrifice the finishing and cleaning units.

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