Description:

VECTOR - REVOLUTION 180: CNC Contour Edgebander + Vector Vision UpgradeNumerically controlled automatic Edgebanding Machine: Precisely applies ABS & PVC edgebanding automatically to square or irregularly shaped parts as the banding head travels on a bridge gantry along the "X", "Y" & "Z" axis.Machine FeaturesBanding Unit: Simultaneously rotates on a high precision "C" Axis; AC Brushless Servo motors with: Digital drives & linear guides ensure high speeds & accuracy with a smooth acceleration & deceleration. -- NO PROGRAMMING required: Extremely simple changing from one tape size to another; Operator only has to make simple adjustments such as setting: Start position the glue height; feed the new width of tape; adjust the tape guide height. All else taken care of by the machine. -- Cartridge Glue System: Glue height is set by positioning a pin in a hole in the index ring setting for the glue dosing rod; standard positions are: 16 mm (5/8"); 19 mm (3/4"); 25 mm (1.0"); 28 mm (1-1/8"); 31 mm (1-1/4") eliminating any need for fine adjustment. -- Working Field"X" Axis 139.7" (3,550 mm); "Y" Axis 72" (1,830 mm); 0.63" - 1.57" (16 - 40 mm) min. - max. material thickness.0.79" (20 mm) Min. external radius & 1.97" (50 mm) min. internal radius depending on the type of banding materials. 1 mm Min. banding material thickness; 3 mm max. banding material thickness. (NOTE: 1 mm PVC is not suitable for butt joints). -- WorktablePhenolic worktable with: Embedded vernier scales in "X & Y" axes; allow simple & flexible positioning of 2-stage vacuum pods. Worktable allows single or pendulum processing with: (2) 48" x 72" (1,219 x 1,828 mm) Work zones for processing small to large parts. With average cycle times under (2) minutes, the Contour Edgebander consistently produces quality parts, including 360° lap joints.Workpiece is supported by: Vacuum cups sitting on a large, flat bed; enables absolute flexibility in positioning pods to ensure the workpiece is held securely. Full vacuum is achieved with: 100 cbm/Hr Vacuum Pump. Pump is mounted inside the frame of the machine reducing noise & avoiding airborne dust.Exact workpiece positioning is not critical, as the patented VECTOR "Revolution 180" Operating System is unaffected by panel position.Patented process is controlled by: Simple & intuitive interface that does not require CNC programming. -- Edge Banding UnitVECTOR "Revolution 180" uses: Cartridge & nozzle glue extrusion system, which is ideally suited to this Contour Banding application.Cartridge Glue Nozzle is: Closed system, which only heats the glue as it is used. Glue is not exposed to the atmosphere; there is no burning of the glue or discoloration & the original color of the glue & its properties are maintained.Another Glue Nozzle System benefit: Close proximity to the 1st pressure roller when slowing for corners; glue remains molten until pressed onto the panel by the 1st pressure roller. This is important when banding tight radii as the glue doe
