Homag Group AG has unveiled a new series of edge banding machines. Used in conjunction with a new type of glue, the hot-and-cold technique was hailed as a revolutionary development. This new concept was to take the world by storm and bring about a transformation throughout the market.

New units and equipment combinations on the basis of a smart modular system allow the edge bander to be equipped in line with specific customer requirements. Other benefits include the elimination of finish processing, ergonomic operation and a choice of different glue types for edge processing through to zero edge production. Five models of the new series were unveiled.

The entire series encompasses different models with different equipment configurations. The Ambition 2480 model of the new Ambition series is ideally suited for premium quality processing of edges made of plastic (PP, ABS, PVC) or melamine, but provides superb results when processing veneer edges. All the necessary processing units are mounted as standard.

Anyone wishing to process workpieces with thicknesses between 8 and 60 mm at a feed rate of 25 m/min has chosen the ideal solution with this model. The features include: New workpiece infeed; Gluing unit with reproducible glue application. New industrial standard snipping unit; New profile trimming unit with automatic workpiece thickness, feed adjustment for precise copying of corners and automatic profile change; New grooving unit with powerful motors for large groove cross-sections; and New glue scraper blade for automatic adjustment of the tracing facility.
