APPLICATION ON WORKPIECE EDGES

Workpiece edges can be finished using any of 4 different methods, all of wich have advantages and disadvantages. Before planning a complete finishing line, these aspects should be carefully considered, one against the other.

Simultaneous spraying of surfaces and edges

In the case of workpieces with profiled surfaces, surface and edge are finished simultaneously by a spraying machine. For flat parts this technique should be avoided due to the material losses incurrend during spraying and to the low feed speeds necessary.

Spraying edges in the stack

Before surface finishing the workpieces are stacked with all edges positioned flush on a trolley or a floor conveyor, and then coated in a spraying cabin. The advantage of this method is that the subsequent surface handling process can be carried out in multiple lane throughfeed.

Treating edges in the finishing line

Large workpieces such as doors, wich are conveyed through the unit in single row, can have their edges coated in the finishing line using a special spray machine for edges.

Coating of edges with an edge finishing machine

In the case, the workpieces are treated on separate single or double-sided machines in the throughfeed operation optionally with any of the following application mathods:
- Stain application and drying,
- Application of UV sealer and curing with UV lamps,
- Sealer sanding,
- Top coat application and drying or UV-curing.
This machine can also be used for filling raw edges on particle board panels and MDF.
