glueBox - PUR edge banding without glue pot.
The glueBox attaches a thin PUR tape between the edge and the workpiece and fuses the two components together almost invisibly. Through heat activation of the glue perfect adhesion is achieved.
FORMAT4 tempora glueBox: PUR-edge banding without glue pot.
Revolutionarily simple, clean and economically highly profitable.
The revolutionary glueBox for the Format4 tempora F600 60.06 edgebander makes the processing of PUR glue easier and more effortless than ever before.
Heat and water resistance, a very small glue joint as well as reduced glue consumption - all advantages of the PUR-glue can be used uncompromisingly with the glueBox. The PUR drawbacks such as complicated processing, dirty and hardened glue pots, annoying cleaning as well as the complex storage are a thing of the past with glueBox.
INGENIOUSLY SIMPLE - SIMPLY INGENIOUS!
"Thought outside the box and improved" - that's the best way to describe the revolutionary Format4 development. Instead of the PUR adhesive in the glue pot of edge banding machines, a thin PUR adhesive strip in the glueBox is fused almost invisibly between the edge material and the workpiece.
REVOLUTIONARY CLEAN.
glueBox, PUR adhesive makes processing as easy, clean and uncomplicated as ever. glueBox ensures extremely uncomplicated and revolutionary new, clean processing without annoying glue pot cleaning, nitrogen tanks and many more.
ECONOMICALLY HIGHLY PROFITABLE.
Taking all costs into account (investment, adhesive material consumption and cleaning costs/expenditure), in the effective field of application the glueBox saves approx. 70% in comparison to conventional PUR granulate processing.
... FORMAT4 Premium machines for premium requirements
The glueBox attaches a thin PUR tape between the edge and the workpiece and fuses the two components together almost invisibly. Through heat activation of the glue perfect adhesion is achieved.
Format-4 edgeControl makes operation and adjustment of the tempora edgebanders even easier and more precise.
The values for edge and workpiece thickness that are recorded to the hundredth of a millimetre with the wireless measuring unit are transferred to the machine's smartouch operating unit via Bluetooth (workpiece thickness only with e-motion models). The controller recognises the measured values and sorts them automatically according to workpiece or edge thickness. The operator then selects the desired setting values from the measurement data log that contains the five last measured values. Smartouch automatically calibrates all required units to the exact dimensions.
With edgeControl, production losses due to typing or measuring errors as well as tolerance deviations of the edge dimensions are eliminated.
Easy and careful handling of large-size and surface-sensitive workpieces Placed directly on the machine's infeed ruler and equipped with a 0.75 kW blower motor, a constant air cushion between the machine table and the resting workpiece ensures easy and gentle workpiece feed. The solid table construction with a 1050 x 400 mm supporting surface (with an additional air cushion table expandable to 2000 x 400 mm) and the flexible extendable frame guarantee maximum stability during workpiece feed.
Depending on the application, coiled and strip material from 0.4 up to 6 mm can be glued to panel materials up to 60 mm in thickness.
The new smartouch control unit with 10.4" touch-screen and m-motion control enables a quick and easy selection and control of the aggregate as well as the complete monitoring of all machine functions.
smartouch control unit and network connection reduces the manual settings to a minimum and enables a quick, easy and intuitive selection and control of the aggregate as well as the complete monitoring of all machine functions from the screen. The functions of smartouch include amongst other things:
Two counter rotating, activation controlled and individually adjustable premilling units with diamond coated spiral cutters ensure first class edge processing before the material is glued to the edge. With the premilling unit you will achieve tear free edges when processing laminated material. After entering the exact dimensions, the premilling unit executes a perfect edge cut on your panels. The depth of cut can be electronically positioned on all of the e-motion models as standard.
The patented advantEdge aggregate from Format-4 enables the optical zero joint when processing co-extruded edge and laser edge material. The aggregate is controlled by the workpiece and can be activated and deactivated directly from the control unit. advantEdge offers the homogenised optic finish of the workpiece with the panel and edge material, in particular with high gloss material. An edge material suited exactly to the material ensures a zero-joint line and as no time-consuming glue change of various colours is required, you profit from considerably reduced changeover times.
Solid in its design, the first operation controlled motor driven roller presses the edge material on to the workpiece. The application control ensures that there can be no smearing of glue or movement of the edge material whilst processing. The two conical pressure rollers close the glue joint above and below.
The end trimming unit consists of two independent saw units with high-frequency motors (12,000 rpm). Linear guides ensure maximum precision. The end trimming unit tilts from 0° to 10°. Depending on the machine specification, tilting is regulated manually or pneumatically via the control panel (e.g. 10° bevel cut, front only, rear only or front and rear).
The multi-functional flush, radius and thin-edge bevel trimming unit consists of two independent trimming units with high frequency motors (12,000 rpm). Linear guides guarantee the highest possible precision with little maintenance required. The easy adjustment and setup of the unit means that it is extremely quick to change between different edge thicknesses and profiles. Depending on the equipment option chosen, the multifunctional trimming unit can either be adjusted manually or using electro-motors, controlled via the control panel.
No more time consuming postprocessing of the workpiece! The Format-4 corner rounding unit provides the perfect "finish" of workpiece corners (for both softforming and postforming materials) for edge materials from 0.4 mm to 3.0 mm and a processing height of 60 mm and a feed speed from 10 m/min. The solid cast iron construction, linear guides and a high-quality spindle with a starting clutch ensure long-term precision. The corner rounding unit is controlled from the control panel, naturally with the option of choosing which corners need to be rounded (only on the front of the workpiece, only on the back, or both on the front and on the back).
Especially for post and softforming the tempora 60.06L with double motor corner rounding unit enables a new dimension in edgebanding. Workpieces with different profiles can be completed in just a single processing step, the need for time consuming subsequent processing is rendered redundant by the perfect finish.
The radius surface receives a light scraping, removing any remnants from the trimming process and ensuring a smooth “finish”. The fine adjustment is manual. The radius scraper unit can be disengaged either manually or using electro-motors from the control panel, depending on the model. On all of the e-motion models, the fine adjustment is carried out on the colour touch screen.
The unit is made up of two independent electric motors, which are equipped with cotton brushes. The task of the buffing unit is to clean and polish the top and bottom part of the edge. The buffing unit gives a super finish for ABS and PVC edging material. The machine can, on request, be equipped with spraying equipment to apply polish onto the workpiece.
For a perfect surface finish. The light scraping function of the surface scraper knives removes all glue residues from the glue bond on the workpiece surface. One more step towards the perfect and completely finished workpiece.
Low consumption guaranteed due to application controlled spray nozzles to apply separation solution for PUR glue, antistatic solution and lubricant for sensitive edging materials and cleaning agents and polish for clean workpieces and a perfect “finish”.
The operation controlled, high quality quartz infrared lamp warms the edge surface in front of the glue unit. This guarantees that the edging adheres to cold workpieces.
The “Nesting” Package optimises the processing of workpieces with hinge borings or surfaces with acute angles.
On both of the models (”m-motion“ and ”x-motion PLUS“), the pressure beam is positioned using a handle. The position of the pressure beam can be read precisely using the digital counter.
Variable setting of the depth of cut of the premilling unit. With both equipment options, the settings are carried out manually using an indicator clock. The variable depth of cut can be adjusted and set between 0–2 mm.
The puReady nitrogen box makes you flexible in the use of PUR adhesives. In the future you can stay relaxed during production breaks, colour or glue changes. With puReady, your PUR adhesive, stored in nitrogen, remains fresh and processable for a long time. This keeps you flexible in edgebanding and also facilitates the cleaning of the glue pots.
The Format-4 storEdge offers space saving storage of your edge material, replaces the edgebander support plate and can be placed next to the machine as and when required.
The practical edge storage system "storEdge" can be additionally equipped with a support plate.
