SCM edging in a ‘smart’ factory

SCM Showed off its latest edgebanding technology at the recent Interzum Guangzhou, China’s biggest woodworking and panel processing show.

Taking centre stage was the Stefani XD, the most current SCM technology for industrial edgebanding, an ideal solution for the production of components for furniture with the most advanced design and the use of state-of-theart materials.

The key advantages include:

• a surprising finishing quality thanks to the AirFusion+ technology that allows you to edge without glue, making the joint between the edge and panel invisible;

• maximum versatility: all the panel's parameters can easily and rapidly be changed

(type, colour, edge thickness, position and depth of the mortise, management of the protective film, panel dimensions etc.) without ever interrupting the production flow.

• The edgebanding machine will be integrated with an industrial articulated robot for the automatic loading, reintroduction and unloading of the panels.

• A further guarantee of optimisation and simplification of the process is given by the software coordinating the robot's work:

• on exiting the vertical storage, all the information about the panels (sizes, colour, materials etc.) can be acquired thanks to the software, by reading the QR code; www.machinesrus.co.nz

• the same information is used by the software to coordinate the robot and edgebanding machine during the various passages through the machine to unload the pieces.

Also in evidence was the Stefani MD, the perfect edge bander for companies who require continuous production of a large number of panels even though they are all different from one to another.

High productivity and extraordinary level of finishing quality find in this model a perfect combination. Perfect joint line and great versatility of use are guaranteed by the "SGP" glue pot which allows you to use both EVA and Polyurethane glue with a top gluing quality.

The range has a new look even on the software side with Maestro active edge for error free usage and maximum performance.
