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-and-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 is 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" axis; 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: Means of 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 doesn't 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, meaning there is no burning of the glue or discoloration & the original color of the glue & its properties are maintained.Another benefit of the Glue Nozzle System: Close proximity to the 1st pressure roller, meaning when slowing for corners, the glue remains molten until pressed onto the panel by the 1st pressure roller. This is important when
