Homag Launches Edge Banding Machine with Automated Return Conveyor

FDT Bureau

HOMAG presents edge banding machine plus return conveyor with stacking function for automated workpiece flow. The Ambition 2482 edge banding machine from HOMAG combined with the TFU 521 edition return conveyor is ideally suited for users processing a wide variety of parts and materials – while offering an outstanding cost-to-performance ratio. This Ambition copes with practically any customer requirement with an unprecedented degree of flexibility.

The Ambition 2482 produces furniture components with airTec zero joint, but is equally capable of processing solid wood edges or workpieces with different radii with automatic changeover between two profiles and chamfer. To achieve perfect high-gloss parts, components such as the powered top pressure belt and automatic tracing adjustment at the glue joint scraper are used.

Return conveyor and stacking unit are combined in one machine, allowing finished workpieces to be ejected or automatically stacked. This is performed by the gantry traverse with width-dependent rotary function. It comes equipped with a newly developed vacuum traverse. The result: gentle handling and low quality costs. The return conveyor is designed for a broadworkpiece spectrum of 240x80 mm to 1,200x3,000 mm, and requires no separate machine control system as it is integrated into the edge banding machine's control system – ensuring everything comes from a single, reliable source.
