With edgebanding equipment, the material can be glued to the edges of workpieces using a special superglue. In the absence of this apparatus, not a single woodworking enterprise will be able to function. Manufacturers from all over the world can recommend a different range of these machines. The system of this device is uncomplicated, so you can make a portable edge banding machine on one's own.

Nowadays, this special equipment acts basis for the manufacture of products on furniture factories . Edge banding is a bonding process finishing material in order to guarantee an attractive appearance product. This method has become widespread in the manufacture of furniture, where the limited edges of plates or panel elements are subject to beautiful finish. To date, there is a huge selection of patterns and colors, which forces designers to create new machines.

Paper, melamine, veneer, ABC, PVC, 0.4 - 3 mm thick and 2 - 6 cm wide can be used as the used material. The "blank - glue - material" system is considered the basis of the technology. Due to the compression and rearrangement, the cladding is firmly fixed on the edge.

Many machines are guided by the use of glue, which melts when heated, and solidifies rapidly when cooled. Such a technique requires a strict adjustment of the order of temperature and pressing the parts to be glued with a certain force. If you do not think about it, the system may lose stability, and the cladding may fall off.

Instrument design

In the frame of the equipment, a table made of textolite or similar material is placed, which does not make it possible to spoil the workpiece. The main module is installed on the table, behind which a milling unit can be located to eliminate overhangs. The advantage of such equipment can be characterized by its mobility, since the dimensions make it possible to transport the power machine to the location of the part. In addition, there are plug-in guides to function with solid strip cladding.

The feeding system includes:

roll;
guillotine;
videos.

For the base, a lining material is introduced into the magazine, from which the tape is attracted by rollers to the gluing area. In order to adjust the tape feed rate, the roller drive must have a controlled spin frequency. The guillotine cuts the tape in such a way that it is long enough to compensate for the entire edge and 25 mm for the allowance. The electric drive of the guillotine can be automatic or pneumatic. Using the workpiece position sensor, the moment of operation of the guillotine is determined.

Machine equipment

The machine is often supplied system for heating and applying glue. This is produced in two different alternatives - for the edging material to be supplied with and without adhesive. With option 1, superglue is already in the tape, however, it is heated with heated air using a hair dryer. In case 2, superglue is heated in a bath and applied to the plane of the tape using a roller. It should be noted that certain modifications have 2 rollers, from which the second one is needed to apply the adhesive to the edge of the part.

The next component is the glue bath, where the superglue for the edgebander is heated to a temperature of 200 degrees, does not stick, has a uniform density and circulates well.

Mostly used:

baths with teflon coating;
temperature sensors.

Certain modifications have a cartridge for applying the selected adhesive to the plane.

The pressure system has the form of a main roller. If the tape is in contact with the finishing material, there is a specific compressive force of these parts. If the manual edge banding machine has a mechanical feed, then the tape is pressed onto the edge by one or more rollers, which are placed in turn.

In toolings with manual feed of the part, this function can be performed by a person who feeds the part and at the same time presses it against the outgoing tape.

One or 2-3 rollers are used as a support. However, this method will require good skills. In addition to the measured order, the feed rate of the workpiece and the tape is constantly adjusted in order to prevent tearing or assembling of the tape. Most sophisticated equipment makes it possible to control the machine in auto mode, using electronics.

The principle of operation of the device

For gluing, a tape is used, the width of which is 2-5 mm greater than the height of the element. This is done for precise edge closure. As a rule, after gluing, the so-called overhangs remain, which are indicated from two edges. In order to remove them, a milling module is used, which cuts off the lining that extends beyond the boundaries of the part.

Usually the mechanism is endowed high-speed drive with 12 thousand turns per minute so as not to damage the plane. In addition, the module takes into account limited rollers for the correct installation of the workpiece. The unit is endowed with 2 milling cutters with drives, it is adjusted to the required height of the part. In order to delicately adjust the module and secure it, a movement system with a "screw - nut" transmission is activated.

After cutting with a knife, the tape is glued to the edge. In order to exclude it, a trimming module should be used, the system of which may be different. The simplest type involves a circular saw that has a vertical movement and is equipped with a drive with low power.

On a special command, this electric saw enters the working area of the edging machine and saws off an extra section of the cladding. This principle can only function in machines with manual feed. If the delivery is mechanized, the end module is the most difficult. The power saw with a drive is inserted according to the instructions for the machine on a carriage that has 2 short directions: the first for saw feed to eliminate the tape allowance, and the 2nd for smooth feed speed of the workpiece. The edge banding machine can be supplemented with a large number of multifunctional elements.

Edging devices with manual feed are involved not only in domestic circumstances or workshops. Even large furniture companies have this device for rapid repair and cladding of exclusive blanks, small batches of parts.

Due to the presence of processors, controllers, devices with manual feed of parts are considered very convenient and easy to manage. The main processes during the working period are the feed rate, automated temperature control, and, in addition, the length of the bonded material.

The manual feed unit operates with material up to 3 mm, consumes about 2 kW of electricity, captures an area of up to 2-3 square meters. meters, operated by a single user and maintains a part feed rate of 6 meters per minute. In order for the machine systems to be able to work, a system is connected under a pressure of 0.6 MPa of compressed air.

Usually the machine is tested first, while controlling the safety of the glue line and the degree of adhesion of the glue. To perform the test, it is possible to use a colorless PVC film, which makes it possible to observe the distribution of the adhesive composition after compression and polymerization. If the work shift changes, it is also recommended to carry out tests to prevent the appearance of a latent violation.

The entire cutting mechanism is well honed. This applies to knives and cutters. Remember to clean the glue pot regularly.

The edge banding unit may have a fence and marking of heated surfaces. The fixture frame must be grounded. The device must be connected to an aspiration system, as heated superglue can release toxic substances that are hazardous to health.

Such a device does not require any complicated settings. It is necessary to correct the heating temperature, correctly set the rotational speed of the rollers that apply superglue, and the feed rate. It is very important that during application the volume of adhesive is optimally corresponded the right conditions . If it is not enough, the strength of the relationship between the material used and the workpiece may be lost. Excess glue will lead to an excess amount on the plane and the appearance of dirt.

Self-manufacturing of the machine

Due to the significant cost of edgebanding equipment, many choose homemade edging devices, however, their safety equipment is lame, for this reason you should be very careful. First of all, rather than thinking about the design of the machine, you should focus on the thickness of the material used, with which the special equipment will function, think about what material it will function with, and what kind of devices must be mandatory. For the base, a base should be organized, which contains a system for supplying a finishing material, pressing, heating and applying an adhesive composition.

The standard equipment of the machine includes:

Edge banding machines are used in almost all woodworking firms, but their design and system components can vary significantly. It depends mainly on the size of the work that is done with this apparatus.

For the most modern and complex modifications of edge banding machines, take into account a tank that is designed to heat the glue and applying to the edge of this composition. The tank is equipped with handles and a roller that rolls the material to the edge, which in this machine is located on a special separate support. These devices are designed for gluing thicker plastics onto workpieces.

Overhangs of material that occur when facing with home-made machines are usually removed manually using specialized devices.

These include a variety of longitudinal guillotine devices that cut off the overhang and form chamfers on the edges of the product. All components of the system are fastened with comfortable handles for control.

Worth remembering that when working on such a block, facing material should be used in rolls, on which it has already been applied adhesive composition, otherwise you simply cannot fix anything at all. Since for the production of edge banding machine with my own hands you will still need certain parts, do not expect that the manufacture of the unit will cost you very cheaply.

It is sometimes advisable to replace solid wood with wood-based boards. This is especially true in the manufacture of cabinet furniture.

Plates are good. They have sufficient strength, are durable, but on one condition - the surface of the plate must be laminated, and the ends must be pasted over with a special tape.

It is possible to process the edge of a single product manually, but with large volumes of work this is inefficient.

The edging machine will help to paste over the ends of the parts. It is easy to buy such a device ready-made, choosing the optimal model, or make it yourself.

Why do you need a edging machine

As soon as the material is cut, all the necessary details are cut out, their edges are pasted over with tape from various materials. These are mainly materials based on PVC, paper, processed fabrics. This procedure is designed to solve several problems at once.

Decorative design. Edge banding tapes are available in various textures and colors. Most often, a material is used that imitates the texture of wood or stone.

Plate protection. The tape used for edge banding is made from materials on polymer base. It is characterized by high strength and wear resistance. This coating protects the slab from possible physical damage, moisture penetration, destruction of the structure due to swelling.

Protecting people from harmful fumes. A modern wood-based board is created using high quality materials and binders, however, chipboard can release toxins during the first months of operation. To protect the owner from the harmful effects of his own furniture and the machine for edging laminated chipboard is called.

Devices of this type are highly specialized, however, such a machine must certainly be in the household of a master who manufactures furniture.

Types of edging machines

The industry produces various edging machines that differ in a number of characteristics. When choosing a model for your own workshop, you should pay attention to a number of specific features one device or another. First of all, devices are divided according to their design into manual and stationary.

The difference is obvious - hand tool held in hands, moving it along the end face of the workpiece. During the movement, the edge banding (edge banding, as it is also called) machine prepares the tape, glues it and presses it to the end of the plate. The stationary machine is installed motionless, the workpieces are placed on the tabletop and moved along the working module.

Note! Stationary machines differ in the type of workpiece feed. Distinguish devices with manual feed and fully automatic.

Machines with manual feed are small in size and can work with curved workpieces. Automatic ones do not require the presence of an operator, but only process straight edges.

Same stationary devices can be classified according to the degree of difficulty. There are three categories:

simple machine;
medium complexity device with cutting function;
professional edging device.

Simple machines can only glue the edge, most often PVC tape with an adhesive already applied is used for this. Subsequent trimming and alignment is done manually. Machines of medium complexity, in addition to gluing, cut off excess material. Concerning professional devices, then they are able to create a perfectly aligned surface, often with polishing.

Basic structural elements

The stationary PVC edge banding machine consists of a frame, a frame on which the worktop is fixed, and one or more working modules. Textolite or other relatively soft material is used as a material for the desktop, which will not damage the laminated surface of the plate.

A module is attached to the tabletop, which is responsible for feeding the tape, cutting it, heating it up and applying glue to the work surface and, in fact, gluing. In most cases, this module allows fine adjustment, which allows you to work with material of various widths.

One of the main components of the module is the tape feed system. It includes a pin for installing a roll, a drive and several guide rollers, a guillotine-type cutter. The guillotine is driven by a mechanical or pneumatic drive. The drive roller has an adjustable rotation speed, which allows the machine to be used for processing parts with complex geometry.

As a material for pasting the edge, a tape without an adhesive composition previously applied to it can be used. To work with such material, the module has a heated glue tray. The prepared composition is evenly applied to the tape using a roller. In the case of using a tape with glue, a bath is not needed; a heater is used to glue the tape, which heats up adhesive layer. The tape is pressed with a roller.

Note! In order to get a completely finished board at the output, the edge gluer is additionally equipped with a milling module.

It is a high-speed rotating cutter that cuts off excess material and levels surfaces in all planes. After the router, an optional polishing module is installed, which perfectly aligns the cuts and the side surface.

The design of automatic edging machines also includes a system for feeding and moving the plate. It consists of several rubberized rollers that support the workpiece and give it a speed that exactly matches the speed of laying the edgeband.

Do-it-yourself edging machine

Factory-made devices are expensive, so for a small home workshop it is advisable to make the machine yourself. A self-made edge glue machine will be noticeably inferior to purchased counterparts in terms of power and productivity, but it can easily cope with the amount of work in the home workshop of a novice furniture maker.

When planning to make such an edge unit with your own hands, you should soberly assess your strengths. The edge banding machine is a device of increased danger, and the safety of the operator depends on the quality of its assembly. It is important to understand that the working bodies of the machine are heated to very high temperatures. When using it, you must be careful and follow the safety rules.

Structural elements

Devices of this type are used in various industries, while they have different design. In general homemade machine should include:

stable bed and comfortable table;
belt feed and centering unit;
heater with temperature control system;
heat-resistant guides;
trimming system for excess edges;
polishing module.

The totality of all these nodes is a rather complex device, therefore, for home use, you can limit yourself to a simpler design. In a home-made edging machine, you can do without excessive automation, leaving only a device that feeds the tape and a device for heating it. In this case, you will have to use a tape with a pre-applied adhesive composition, which is somewhat more expensive, but at the same time it will be possible to save on the complex components of the machine.

Properly manufactured, this device can be used as a edging machine for boards, plywood, wood boards and other similar material. The machine will have simple design, for his consciousness will not require expensive components and assemblies.

Assembly order

First of all, you need a tabletop made of textolite or plywood, pasted over with plastic. A horizontal stop is attached to it, a metal square, to which the workpiece will be pressed.

As heating element and at the same time pressing it is rational to use a metal roller heated from building hair dryer. A cutout is provided in the guide square at the exit point of the roller. Part of the square behind the roller can be pasted over with soft material, felt or cloth, which will serve for polishing.

Actually, the machine is ready. You just need to screw a pin into the tabletop, which will become the axis of the roll, bring the end of the tape into the working area, turn on the hair dryer and wait until it heats up the roller. Next, the end of the workpiece is brought to the horizontal stop and you can glue the beginning of the tape. The workpiece is moved along the guide, while trying not to overheat the tape, but also to ensure maximum bond strength.

Care of the edging machine

It does not matter whether factory equipment is used or a simple machine made by oneself, it is necessary to observe safety measures when working with it and ensure its timely Maintenance. There are several important rules that, if ignored, could result in device failure or injury to the operator.

Before starting work, be sure to study the device and the principle of operation of the edging machine, the location of the controls.
Before switching on the device, it is necessary to verify the integrity of the supply cables and protective mechanisms.
Keep oil, water and other liquids out of the working area.
Keep the workplace clean.
The moving parts of the device must be lubricated with the recommended lubricants.
In the process of work, it is necessary to control the temperature of the pressure roller, to prevent overheating, burning of the adhesive composition.
If difficulties arise during the operation of the factory equipment, you should not try to fix them yourself, you should seek help from specialists.

Times are changing, technology is making life much easier for a home craftsman. Now it’s easier than ever to make furniture yourself, you just need a few tools and equipment. Those who have a desire to try themselves as a furniture maker are unlikely to be able to do without it. useful device. To begin with, it is worth making a simple device, trying yourself in a new quality, and then thinking about buying full-fledged factory equipment.

Homemade machine

A homemade edgebander is usually assembled to perform small amounts of work. People who are knowledgeable in assembling complex mechanisms, familiar with its structure and principle of operation can take on this business.

Below is a drawing of the edging unit. Having studied the documentation, you can start building:

On metal frame lay a sheet of textolite or similar material. The table top must have smooth surface not capable of damaging the furniture blank.
The main unit of equipment is mounted on the table, combined with a milling cutter to remove edge overhangs.
The machine should move easily around the workpiece. To do this, the block is placed on a special suspension.
The feeding system includes a roll of edging tape, a guillotine cutter and rollers.
The guillotine should cut the tape at the end of the end of the workpiece with an overlap of about 25 mm. To do this, the knife is combined with a pneumatic or mechanical drive.

The machine can be equipped with systems for heating or applying glue. If a tape with an adhesive back surface is used, then a heating device is installed (an ordinary household hair dryer or a more powerful heater). The hair dryer heats the adhesive surface of the tape, and the drive roller presses it against the end surface.
The use of the adhesive method requires a special bath. The adhesive composition is heated in a container and fed to the edge with a special roller.
Particular attention should be paid to containers with adhesive composition. It is important that the temperature inside the bath is in the range of 150-200 o C. This temperature regime does not allow the adhesive composition to burn and maintains the desired level of viscosity of the composition. Durability of the bath gives an internal Teflon coating.
The presence of two or three guide rollers will ensure a uniform feed of the tape. This will avoid accidental tearing or wrinkling of the edging material.
For cladding, a tape is used 2-3 mm wider than the end thickness.
It is important to synchronize the action of the saw with the feed rate of the lining. This is ensured by special sensors and a system of pressure rollers.

For the irregular performance of small amounts of work, a home-made machine is the most profitable solution.

To process the edges of MDF, chipboard or other similar varieties of modern sheet materials, you need to use special edging equipment. Manually without using special arrangements It's very difficult to do this kind of work. To obtain excellent result everything must be done very painstakingly and subtly.

You can buy such equipment, but it is very expensive. As a result of this, a more economical option would be a home-made edge banding machine, which, having drawings, can be made by everyone.

The design of a homemade edging machine

The simplest in design machine for processing edges of modern sheet materials consists of the following elements:

feed mechanism to the edge of the material from the roll;
pressure roller;
adhesive heater;
adhesive application system.

To make a homemade edge banding machine with your own hands, you can use separate spare parts for various power tools or immediately ready-made household appliances.

For example, an ordinary hair dryer can be used as a heater, a hand-held electric drill successfully performs the functions of a pressure roller drive.

What parts should be in the machine

Another version of the edge banding machine

To make the drawing and design of such a device simpler, you can use materials on which glue has already been previously applied during work. In this case, not only will the process of processing the edges of the material be simplified, but the dimensions of the entire machine will also be reduced.

To advance the workpiece along the pressure roller, you can use some kind of special guide mechanism or do it manually, which, again, will simplify its design.

If it is not possible to use a material with applied glue, it is additionally necessary to equip the machine with a container in which the glue will be constantly heated during operation.

For the convenience of performing all work with the machine, it must have a separate mechanism that cuts off excess material for edge cladding, which necessarily arise during such work. To do this, you can use any guillotine device. by the most convenient option there will be such a longitudinal device that cuts off all the excess right when the workpiece moves.

Thus, it is not difficult to make an edge banding machine with your own hands, and you will not need to buy any expensive parts. Therefore, using it to repair furniture will be a very simple and not at all costly process.

Examples of drawings and diagrams

Do-it-yourself homemade edge banding machine

DIY edge banding machine (photo)

For processing products made of fiberboard, MDF and other sheet materials, special equipment is required for processing the ends of panels - this is a delicate and painstaking work, its manual implementation is unlikely to be convenient. Therefore, you need to purchase special equipment or, even better, make a homemade edge banding machine with your own hands. Firstly, making equipment yourself is saving money, and secondly, it is a valuable experience and practice in engineering, which is necessary for every homeworker. Moreover, the principle of operation and the device of the edge banding machine are quite simple.

Application of edge banding equipment

The main scope of such equipment is furniture production, here this type of machine is one of the required elements technical equipment. For industrial needs, numerous models of machines are offered, differing in performance, functions, price and other characteristics and suitable for working with both straight and curved surfaces. This group of units has a common characteristic - their performance is too high for private use, so it makes no sense to spend money on acquiring a professional model.

The principle of operation for both factory and home-made machines is approximately the same - a decorative strip of material is glued to the raw end of the panel, which not only covers the raw material, but also protects the structure of the panels.

Edge banding equipment can work with various materials, including:

The layer of material can be very thin - from 0.4 mm, the width of the strip, as a rule, is from 2 to 6 cm. A special glue is used for gluing, which firmly fixes the decorative edge.

Making and setting up a homemade edge banding machine

It should be noted right away that without sufficient experience in working with tools and materials and an understanding of the principle of operation of this equipment, it is unlikely that an excellent result will be achieved. If self-confidence is sufficient, then you can safely begin to study the available diagrams and assembly tips.

In order to properly design the machine, you need to decide on the following parameters:

type of facing material;
the thickness of the material used for the edge;
required features of the equipment.

The most important thing at the manufacturing stage is to correctly assemble the base. It consists of edge feeding mechanism, pressure roller, heating element and adhesive application system. For their manufacture, you can use spare parts for power tools and entire appliances. For example, a hair dryer is suitable for heating, and an electric drill can be used to drive the pressure roller.

To simplify the scheme of the machine, you can use materials with glue already applied to them. This will not only simplify the manufacturing process, but also reduce the size of the machine. To move the workpiece along the pressure roller, it is necessary to provide a guide mechanism.

If it is not possible to use strips with pre-applied glue, it is necessary to provide for the presence in the design of a special container for glue, where it will be preheated. It is also necessary to equip the device with a mechanism for cutting off excess material for edges, it can be any device of the guillotine type.

As can be understood from the foregoing, making a homemade edge banding machine with your own hands is not so difficult, it does not require complex and expensive elements. Therefore, subsequent repairs will be quite simple. And if you don’t want to get involved with repairs, purchase branded equipment, and let the service center specialists deal with it if it breaks down.

Homemade machine

One of the most necessary devices for the production of modern furniture is an edge banding machine. Most of the furniture is made from laminated chipboard. After cutting the plates, the ends remain open. They need to be covered with duct tape. In the factory, in the mass production of furniture, large stationary automatic edge banding machines are used. In the furniture production of medium and small enterprises, a manual machine is used.
