Future-oriented solutions for carpenters and joiners in all performance classes of edge banding machines

At LIGNA, HOMAG will be presenting a wide range of edge banding machines, from the entry-level models to industrial production. Digitalization plays a central role here.

The following will be demonstrated live:

• EDGETEQ S-240, model 1230 HF
• EDGETEQ S-300, model 1440 E, equipped with the new ergonomic air cushion table and continuous multi-radius technology
• EDGETEQ S-380, model 1672 E and the LOOPTEQ O-300 return conveyor as a cell
• EDGETEQ S-500 with the LOOPTEQ O-600 return and the new WZ14 workpiece feeder
• EDGETEQ S-500, ideal for digital production thanks to the new woodCommander 5 software generation and the Edge Data plug-in
• EDGETEQ S-500 narrow parts machine for a minimum part width of 40 mm

EDGETEQ S-240 — Maximum edge quality in the entry-level area with a feed speed of 11 m/min

With the EDGETEQ S-240, model 1230 HF edge banding machine, HOMAG offers an entry-level solution for woodworking shops with comprehensive unit equipment, entry-level automation and a high level of flexibility in post-processing.
It is equipped with a magazine for rolls of material and solid wood strips up to an edge thickness of 6 mm, with a joint trimming unit, gluing unit for processing EVA/PUR, snipping unit with automatic chamfer/straight adjustment and automatic adjustment of flush/overhang trimming. For automatic adjustment of the snipping motors to two positions.  Trimming unit with pneumatic three-point adjustment and the profile trimming unit with automatic adjustment between thin and thick edges.
The finishing area has three units: a profile scraper with quick-change heads, a glue joint scraper with pneumatic adjustment and a buffing unit.

EDGETEQ S-300, model 1440 E, with continuous multi-radius technology on the single-motor profile trimming unit and ergonomic air cushion table

The equipment of the EDGETEQ S-300, model 1440 E, offers competitive advantages for both woodworking shops and small- and medium-sized businesses — especially in the case of frequently changing edge thicknesses.   

The two-profile technology—here with the profiles R1 and R2—on the single-motor FF6210 profile trimming unit brings more flexibility to processing thanks to the fast, precise change by touch via the control system. Setup times and the machine length are shortened, thereby increasing cost efficiency.

At LIGNA, the EDGETEQ S-300 is equipped with a new ergonomic air cushion table at the machine infeed and outfeed. The ergonomic machine infeed and outfeed ensure safe and convenient workpiece feed and removal. The variable feed speed is 8–14 m/min. The machine is equipped with a joint trimming unit, the QA65N universal application unit for the optional processing of EVA or PUR hot-melt glue and the edge magazine for strips and rolls of material. Post-processing takes place using the snipping unit, the multi-level trimming unit and the single-motor profile trimming unit. The multi-level profile scraper, the glue scraper and the buffing unit ensure the perfect finish.

The combination with the return and the new automatic two-part edge magazine increases the productivity of the edge banding machine. The LOOPTEQ O-300 workpiece return is ideal for a wide range of parts, from small and light workpieces to large and heavy ones. The units are controlled intuitively, and the parameters are entered using powerTouch on the 24-inch multitouch monitor.

A new air cushion table concept including sliding carriages will also be presented (also for the EDGETEQ S-500). The ergonomic machine infeed ensures a safe and right-angled workpiece feed. For processing edge overhangs and copying corners, the MF60 multifunction trimming unit features a stepping motor for automatically adjusting to different edge thicknesses. 

For perfect glue joints, the EDGETEQ S-380 model 1672 E is equipped with the universal QA65N application unit and the universal melting unit (2.5–4 kg/h), which can be used for production with PUR or EVA.

The change of glue type in the universal melting unit can be performed quickly and easily with two special interchangeable tanks for PUR cartridges or EVA granulate.

The universal application unit is equipped with automatic glue quantity metering. Via the powerTouch user interface, the glue application quantities are set simply, precisely and quickly. This leads to optimum glue joint quality, higher availability and performance, as well as greater cost efficiency.

Before gluing, the joint trimming unit creates the basis for a precise workpiece edge. Post-processing is carried out with the HL70 two-motor snipping unit, the MS40 multi-level trimming unit, the MF60 multifunction profile trimming unit, the MZ40 multi-level profile scraper unit and the finishing units of the glue joint scraper, cleaning agent sprayer and buffing unit.
The multifunction profile trimming unit with two motors and the flexTrim multi-radius tool offers precise adjustment options for perfect corner processing. The structural shelf function also allows profile trimming of edges on raw panel corners.

Sharp and blunt-angled parts, workpieces with longitudinal grooves or with hinge holes, workpiece thicknesses from 8–60 mm, sensitive surfaces and much more can all be processed optimally using the EDGETEQ S-380 at a feed speed of 8–20 m/min.
