Delta’s High-Speed Edge Banding Solution for Woodworking Excellence
Wood furniture, which is prominent in Nordic and Minimalist styles and beloved for the warmth and coziness it gives, is always a popular choice for home decor. Despite the prevalent use of wood elements, few of us know that wood furniture’s durability and sophistication requires so much attention to detail, such as for lines and edge bandings.
Most wood furniture such as wood desks and bookcases are a combination of assembled boards that require edge banding to cover the exposed sides of materials. Sometimes strips may fall off, which undermines the elegance of the creations and may even cause scratches to anything contacting the raw surface.
Aiming to optimize the process of wood edge banding, Delta has recently developed a high-speed edge banding machine solution to improve the quality and appearance of the bandings. The machine not only helps to reduce the cases of edge damage in transit and in use, but offers additional benefits such as waterproofing and minimized chance of deformation.
It is worth noting that this solution is different from most high-speed edge banding machines on the market, and that it also applies to production processes with multiple workstations. The client can easily edit the parameter settings and configure workstations through the user-friendly interface, allowing the machine to fit perfectly with any specific needs in seconds. With manual configuration, the machine elevates the efficiency of changeover and tuning considerably.
The solution adopts Delta’s own Compact Modular Mid-Range PLC AS Series, AC Servo Drive & Motor B Series, and AC Servo Motor ECM-B3 Series, providing powerful capacity in positioning and computing. The combination enables accurate control of every part of the machine to ensure the stability of processing, the preciseness of positioning, and hence a significant quality improvement of edge banding with a higher yield rate.
The benefits of Delta’s high-speed edge banding machine include:
- • One-stop solution to effectively enhance the stability of the production process and product quality
The whole solution adopts Delta’s own products, which bring a high degree of integration of hardware and software. This feature smooths the process and the positioning’s precision. Plus, the warranty liabilities are relatively simple.
- • User-friendly operation interface for a more flexible production process adjustment
With the easy-to-use interface, users can adjust workstation configuration at any time. The machine also allows manual adjustment, enabling it to fit any specific processing requirements with shorter tuning time. Moreover, cloning is supported to quickly copy the machine for fast implementation and high working efficiency.
- • Software for real-time monitoring and alerts
I/O tags can be freely configured and the communication status is continuously monitored. When an abnormality occurs, staff members are immediately alerted to take appropriate measures.
With Delta’s high-speed edge banding machine, the edge banding process for wood furniture has seen a significant increase in efficiency and quality. At the same time, the machine enhances wood products’ durability and safety, allowing us to truly appreciate the excellence of woodworking.
