Laser edgebanding for everyone

At under $100K, the introduction of the Homag S-200 with airTec laser tape processing unit, makes a zero join finish affordable for many small and medium sized kitchen & cabinetry manufacturers.

The S-200 uses the very latest Homag airTec technology to deliver a seamless join between the edge and face of the workpiece. Other benefits include an extremely fast heat-up time of 2 minutes and a compressedair consumption at just 70% of previous systems.

The S-200 has the in-built flexibility to allow the use of specific tooling to achieve a smooth radius finish on both 1mm & 2mm thick edge material. There is no need to compromise on the finish quality by using 1.5mm tooling on both 1mm & 2mm edge tape.

Jacks’ Head of Sales, Simon Hornby notes; “We are seeing a trend towards using laser tape not just for the door and drawer fronts but also for the carcass. As the cost of laser tape reduces, many Homag edgebander owners are deciding to process the complete kitchen with laser tape. Not just for the higher quality finish and durability of laser tape, but also to eliminate using glue as much as possible. Let’s face it, glue can be a challenging material to work with, if it can be avoided there are many advantages, including reduced cleaning and maintenance of the edgebander and no cleaning of workpieces.”

The S-200 comes standard with a quick-change glue-pot so traditional edgebanding is still possible in case a specific material colour is not available. Semiautomatic set-up through the “Easy Touch” control panel also speeds up the changeover time between various materials.
