Description:

VECTOR - REVOLUTION 180: CNC Contour Edgebander Numerically controlled automatic Edgebanding Machine precisely applies: ABS & PVC Edgebanding automatically to square or irregularly shaped parts as the banding head travels on a bridge gantry along: "X", "Y" & "Z" axes.Machine FeaturesBanding unit simultaneously rotates on a high precision "C" axis; AC Brushless Servo motors with: Digital drives & linear guides ensure high speeds & accuracy with a smooth acceleration-and-deceleration. -- NO PROGRAMMING Required: Extremely simple changing from one tape size to another; Operator makes simple adjustments: Setting the start position & glue height; feeding the new width of tape; adjusting the tape guide height. All else done by the machine. -- Cartridge Glue System: Glue height set by: Positioning a pin in a hole in the index ring setting for the glue dosing rod; standard positions are: 16 mm (5/8"), 19 mm (3/4"), 25 mm (1.0"), 28 mm (1-1/8"), 31 mm (1-1/4") eliminating any need for fine adjustment. -- Working Field"X" Axis 139.7" (3,550 mm); "Y" axis 72" (1,830 mm); 0.63" - 1.57" (16 - 40 mm) min. - max. material thickness.0.79" (20 mm) Min. external radius; 1.97" (50 mm) min. internal radius, depending on the type of banding materials. 1 mm Minimum banding material thickness & 3 mm max. banding material thickness. (NOTE: 1 mm PVC is not suitable for butt joints). -- WorktablePhenolic worktable with: Embedded vernier scales in "X & Y" axes allows for simple & flexible positioning of 2-stage vacuum pods. Worktable allows single or pendulum processing with: (2) 48" x 72" (1,219 x 1,828 mm) Work Zones for processing small to large parts.With average cycle times under (2) minutes, the Contour Edgebander consistently produces quality parts, including 360° lap joints.Workpiece: Supported by means of vacuum cups sitting on a large flat bed. This enables absolute flexibility in positioning pods to ensure the workpiece is held securely. Full vacuum is achieved with a 100 m³/Hr vacuum pump. The pump is mounted inside the frame of the machine reducing noise and avoiding airborne dust.Exact workpiece positioning is not critical, as the patented VECTOR Revolution 180 operating system is unaffected by panel position.Patented process controlled by: Simple & intuitive interface that does not require CNC programming. -- Edgebanding UnitVECTOR "Revolution 180" uses: Cartridge & nozzle glue extrusion system, which is ideally suited to this Contour Banding application.Cartridge Glue Nozzle. Closed system, which only heats the glue as it is used. Glue is not exposed to the atmosphere: This means no burning of the glue or discoloration; original color of the glue & its properties are maintained.Benefit: Glue Nozzle System is in close proximity to the 1st pressure roller; meaning: Even when slowing for corners, glue remains molten until pressed onto the panel by the 1st pressure roller. This is important when banding tight radiuses, as glue does not have an opportunity
