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 and linear guides ensure high speeds & accuracy with a smooth acceleration-and-deceleration. -- NO PROGRAMMING required; extremely simple changing from one tape size to another; Operator only has to make simple adjustments like: Setting the start position, glue height, feeding the new width of tape. and adjusting tape guide height. All else is performed 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"); and 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 Minimum banding material thickness & 3 mm maximum banding material thickness. (NOTE: 1 mm PVC is not suitable for butt joints). -- Worktable:Phenolic worktable with embedded vernier scales in X & Y axes allow for simple & flexible positioning of 2-stage vacuum pods. Worktable allows for 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 means of: Vacuum cups sitting on a large flatbed; enables absolute flexibility in positioning pods to ensure the workpiece is held securely. Full vacuum achieved with: 100 cbm/Hr Vacuum Pump. Pump is mounted inside the frame of the machine reducing noise and 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 a simple and intuitive interface that does not require CNC programming. -- Edge Banding Unit:VECTOR Revolution 180 Uses a cartridge & nozzle glue extrusion system, which is ideally suited to this Contour Banding application.Cartridge Glue Nozzle is a closed system, which only heats the glue as it is used. Glue is not exposed to the atmosphere. Result: There is no burning of the glue or discoloration, and the original color of the glue & its properties are maintained.Another benefit of the Glue Nozzle System: Close proximity to the first pressure roller. This means that even when slowing for corners, the glue remains molten until pressed onto the panel by the first pressure
