Very successful series of edgebanders for crafts and small industrial companies for the complete processing of workpiece edges.

Replaced the series KA, KE and KM, whereas the KD40 to KD60 series covered the lower power range. According to a leaflet of 2002, the KD 56 has been the most sold edgebanding machine until then.

Portraits of selected series

KD 40 series

• The Optimat KD 46 was built from about 1997 until 1998 and then renamed to Optimat KD 77 C
• Machine configuration:
• Glue system glue pot
• Trimming saw
• Flush milling aggregate
• Corner rounding unit with 2 motors
• Scraper aggregate

KD 50 series

• Combine all aggregates necessary for edgebanding and reworking in short machines; the longest machine is only 3.850 mm long, including the corner rounding unit.
• More than 4.000 sold machines world-wide
• Optimat KD 53 with minimum equipment:
• Glue system glue pot
• Trimming saw
• Flush milling aggregate
• Optimat KD 56 C with maximum equipment:
• Glue system glue pot
• Trimming saw
• Flush milling aggregate
• Corner rounding unit with 1 motor
• Scraper aggregate

KD 60 series

• Edgeband thickness in the 1990s up to 5 mm, since 1997 up to 8 mm
• Replaced the Optimats KD 77 C and KD 78 CF in 2000. The series KD60 included five types at that time:
• KD 66: glue system, trimming saw, 1 flush/radius/chamfer milling unit, profile scraper, buffing unit
• KD 67: glue system, trimming saw, 2 flush/radius/chamfer milling unit, profile scraper, buffing unit
• KD 67 F: premilling unit, glue system, trimming saw, 1 flush/radius/chamfer milling unit, profile scraper, buffing unit
• KD 67 C: glue system, trimming saw, 1 flush/radius/chamfer milling unit, corner rounding unit, profile scraper, buffing unit
• KD 68 CF: glue system, trimming saw, 1 flush/radius/chamfer milling unit, corner rounding unit, profile scraper, buffing unit
• In 2001, the series was supplemented by the KD 68/2 and die KD69/2 CF with a second flush/radius/chamfer milling unit. The first one is equipped for chamfer milling, the second one is meant for radius milling.
• Standard equipment:
• Pneumatic trimmer for up to 3 mm thick coiled edgebands
• Infrared hotmelt activation
• Edge monitoring
• Contact-free line control since 1994
• Special equipment:
• Pneumatic 2-point aggregates adjustment (aggregates clocked)

KD 70 series and KD80 series

• In 1993, the KD80 series replaced the edgebanding machines of the types KD 74 and KD 76 and the entire KM series. Initially, the machines of the types KD 80 to KD 87 have been green entirely. Since 1995, the KD 88 and KD 89 were added and Brandt equipped the machines with white noise protection hoods. Since 1993, the modular control system BS02 (later also BS03) with line control and interface for PC, where the aggregates could be chosen by small buttons has been new. The optional input unit Homatic NC16 allowed programming of route points and provided information on malfunctions. Particularly successful was the type KD 84 C because of its corner rounding unit.
• In 2000, there was a series change. KD80 became 'ProfiLine' KD 75 to KD 79 D. The successful Optimats of the KD80 series replaced the white Optimats of the KD70 series as described in the table below. They used a newly developed corner rounding unit. Until then, two milling spindles had been guided to the workpiece by one diagonally rising linear guide each. In the newly developed aggregate, the spindles were hung to parallelogram swivel arms.
