This equipment applies narrow strips of material (e.g., wood, plastic, melamine) to the raw edges of panels such as plywood, particleboard, or MDF. This process conceals the substrate, creating a more polished aesthetic and protecting the vulnerable core from moisture, impact, and wear. Applying these strips can be achieved through hot-melt adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, or laser activation, depending on the machine’s capabilities and the materials used.
Automated application of edge treatments significantly improves the speed, consistency, and quality of panel finishing compared to manual methods. It contributes to a more professional look, increases durability, and adds value to the finished product. This technology has evolved from rudimentary hand-applied methods to sophisticated, computerized systems offering precise control over temperature, pressure, and trimming.
