Since 1952, Minimax has been at the forefront of innovative solutions for small shops with big shop needs. The Minimax ME 20 Edgebander is perfect for small shops that use PVC and/or wood tape, and is particularly suited for thin edges. It features a glue pot unit, 2mm guillotine end trimming unit, and top/bottom trimming units with a belt feed system.
The ME 20 is operated via a PLC (programmable logic controller) panel. This panel has a 4-line LCD display, keyboard with “soft touch” push buttons and LED light indicators for the functions, and glue pot temperature adjustment. There is also a large emergency stop button to ensure the operator’s safety.
High-quality edgebanding relies on precise and proper workpiece feeding. The ME 20 contains many features that simplify the feeding process. The panel is fed between a friction-free worktable with three rollers and a top feeder with a toothed rubber belt. There is also an adjustable panel support roller the entire length of the machine. Feeder thickness is adjusted manually with a lever system that features a numerical readout for easy reading.
The glue pot unit on the ME 20 is self-lubricating for longer use and reduced maintenance time. It heats up quickly, and the inside is Teflon-coated for easy glue change. PLC controls allow you to adjust the temperature and keep it constant unless in “stand by” mode, which lowers the temperature without turning off the machine. The glue spreader applies the glue evenly, and the two pressure rollers make sure the material is applied evenly to the panel.
The ME 20 has a trimming unit that consists of two cutter profiles: straight and radius. The straight part of the cutter is used for flush trimming with no profile or when trimming thicker wood strips. The radius part of the cutter is used to trim 2mm radius edges and chamfered thin edges.
Excess edgebanding is cut via the end cutting unit. This guillotine style unit makes 90° cuts at both the front and back ends of the edgebanding with no adjustments required. The end cutting unit can be turned on/off via the PLC. (Note: The end cutting unit should be turned off when feeding strips of wood or high pressure laminate.)
By taking note of the positions for the different panels you run, you can easily change the settings on the fly for any change in operation. The Minimax ME 20 is made even more versatile with this feature. The machine can now handle panels up to 50mm thick. That is almost 2 inches in thickness!
