Using laserTec, the surface to be glued is melted shortly before contact between the edge and workpiece 2. The laser beam is deflected by an oscillating mirror over the whole width of the edge band and melts the laser-active layer 3. This is followed immediately by pressing of the edge band onto the workpiece Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Process Corner Longitud. edge Layer thickness Adhesive/ active layer Heat resistance Laser gluing HOMAG 0.05 mm 140°C PU gluing 0.10 mm 110°C EVA gluing 0.20 mm 70°C Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Structure: Basic type ABS (also high gloss) PP 3D PVC Melamin e Veneer Characteristic Type of function layer Co-extrudate Function layer thickn. appr. 0.2 mm Weight per unit area appr. 200 g/m² Basic edge thickness Quality category Coating 0.5 – 3.0 mm Basic, Premium Premiu m Basic, Premium Basic 0.4 mm 0.8 mm Basic Premiu m Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Occupational safety: No special precautions needed due to certified laser protection class 1 (comparable with a laser pointer) no potential for injury All laser-relevant precautions are monitored, i.e. laser cannot be used without all safety features in place Alternating operation (e.g. conventional EVA and laserTec) laser can be carried out without training as laser safety officer Fundamental maintenance can be implemented after training at HOMAG (e.g. exchange of protective glass) Training generally recommended / necessary Integrated extraction Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Effects of using laserTec (1): Elimination of glue system technology: No glue selection No determination of process parameters (weight by unit area, application temperature) No exchange/provision/maintenance of application units No waiting times for heating up glue No soiling of the pressure zone by glue No granulate handling No separating agent required Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Effects of using laserTec (2): Reduction of adjustment / disturbing variables impacting on the process: e.g. change of glue type Degree of soiling of the application unit (roller) Reduced tool soiling in finish processing, resulting in: Constant processing quality Reduction of maintenance input for tools and machines Reduction of scraping work due to elimination of glue residues Increase of plant availability, reduced rejects quota and reliable repeat process accuracy Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Increased process reliability: Glue type, quantity, distribution and colour prescribed by laser-active layer Required laser energy clearly defined by laser-active layer (no excess energy input) no gluing errors Automatic setting of laser output by means of flexible edge sequence dep. on: Workpiece thickness Feed rate Laser-active layer Constant finish processing quality due to minimized tool soiling Reduction of manual reworking Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 1. Perfect quality without compromises: Invisible glue joint of 0,05 mm thickness No residual glue after edgebanding highest heat and moisture resistance (better than PU) best bonding strength Know How –The foundation for your success 20.11.2009 Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 13 2. Highest operation efficency: No waiting time for the operator until operating temperature is reached No glue color change necessary due to invisible glue joint no resetting work required when changing color no setting in respect of glue quantity and application temperature no handling of different glue types no possibilities for mistakes (e.g. wrong glue color) Process simplification through reduction of process-determining components Highest machine usage due to less machine downtime for cleaning/ maintenance Reduced finish cleaning work Know How –The foundation for your success 20.11.2009 Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 14 3. More efficient use of resources, thus environmental protection (i.e. green product): Lower total energy requirement Almost no energy and glue consumption without production result Assured process parameters lower rejects quota No glue vapours No chemical substances for cleaning required Know How –The foundation for your success 20.11.2009 Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 15 Laser technology - conclusion ...represents a quantum leap forward for furniture production ...generates uniqueness & competitiveness in product quality ...reduces requirements for operators capabilities ...optimizes resource efficiency and creates green products ...allows you to be innovative leader ...provides the assurance of more success Know How –The foundation for your success 20.11.2009 Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 16 Softforming Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 What is softforming? 1. A profile has to be trimmed to the workpiece edge 2. special edgebanding has to be applied and softformed around the edge of the workpiece Therefore the glue is applied to the edgeband and not to the board 3. Post processing Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Know How –The foundation for your success © Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 S-profile Inlay profile top and bottom Inlay profile top Inlay profile top Know How –The foundation for your success © 20.11.2009 Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Why softforming? 1. allows creative edge design 2. various material can be used e.g special veneer, plastics 3. possilbe inlay profiles Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Principle of softforming / which units are needed? For an inlay profile top or top/bottom you will need a „scoring and trimming unit“ with a very precise tracing from top or top/bottom. You have to trim the top or top/bottom of the panels in the same thickness of the softforming edging material to guarantee a perfect joint between the softforming material and the panel surface top or top/bottom. raw panel after scoring/trimming panel after profiling panel after softforming Know How –The foundation for your success © 20.11.2009 Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 What units are needed? 1. depending on inlay profile scoring / smoothing unit 2. profile trimming 3. special pressure zone Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Pressure zone softforming • Profile rollers or profile shoes for top/bottom profile (each shoe or roller spring-loaded) • Rolling knife top and bottom (for inlay profile top and bottom) • 1 set of 6 non-driven pressure rollers for straight profiles • Manual height adjustment • Manual lateral adjustment • Manual rotation of set • 6 straight rollers and space for max. 3 different profiles included (profile rollers or profile shoes not included – by choice - ) Know How –The foundation for your success 20.11.2009 Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Postforming Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 What is postforming? 1. workpiece edge will be profiled trimmed but the laminate will be left 2. after profiling the laminate overhang will be bend around the workpiece edge 3. Post processing Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Why postforming? 1. only 1 glue joint, which can be sealed e.g. by glue 2. used for rooms with high humidity like bathrooms or labratories 3. No edgeband necessary since the laminate will be bend around the material Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Sequence 1. scoring from top 2. Trimming of the top material and of the particle board with a trimming unit top 3. Profiling of the particale board Know How –The foundation for your success Edgebanding Seminar 19th November 2009 Sequence 4. Special trimming for the (later) application of the hot melt 5.
