The "Edge Performer" from SCHUGOMA is a contour edgebander for gluing edge band in zero joint quality. Without a complex control system, this machine can be used to edge moulded parts semi-automatically, as is otherwise done on CNC machining centre.

Construction and function

The machine base corresponds to the VITAP FUSION (formerly ECLIPSE) whose hotmelt gluing aggregate has been replaced through a HotAir unit. A two-part arm with vacuum clamping device holds the workpiece. The workpiece movement results from the interaction of the arm and the feed roller on the permanently installed HotAir unit.

The finishing of the attached edge is carried out without reclamping the workpiece on the second station of the machine through a cross-cut saw and radius milling aggregate. For the processing of particularly large workpieces, the finishing station can be tilted pneumatic below the working plane.

Manual workpiece feed

Small parts can be processed at both stations without the swivel arm by placing them on the permanently installed tables. It is also conditionally possible to carry out finishing work on small parts at the finishing station during the semi-automatic gluing process. For those who already have a CNC machining centre for formatting the moulded parts, the KANTENperFORMer is a universally applicable addition with regard to edge processing.
