The Minimax ME 40ETR is a powerful 3-phase automatic edge bander designed to deliver industrial-level performance in a compact, versatile package. Ideal for high-production cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, and commercial operations, it bridges the gap between entry-level machines and full-scale industrial equipment. Standout features include the pre-milling unit with dual diamond tools and the corner rounding unit.
A pre-mill unit on the ME 40ETR utilizes two 80mm diameter diamond tools with opposing rotation and timed intervention. These tools correct any panel imperfections caused by the saw cutting process and panel storage. This allows for a perfect, clean edge and a good lineal finish. Pre-milling comes with an independent exhaust and air blower for cleaning of the panel during the process. You can carry out vertical adjustments of the tools for use even into the final sharpening phase.
The two-stage full corner rounding end-cutting unit cuts and rounds the edge in a single pass at the end of the panel. Driven directly from the control panel, it is possible to work with only the end cutting function for thin tape and 3mm thick banding or wood. This is the first unit in its class to have this advanced engineering, this small of a footprint, and overall capabilities at a price point that allows the medium-sized shop to compete.
The Minimax 40ETR comes with the Eye-S, a touch screen control panel loaded with features to make edge banding applications easy. It allows you to choose the type of material you’re working with (MDF, chipboard, etc.), set the height and thickness of material, and adjust the glue temperature and type, among other things. All edge banding functions are shown graphically on the screen, so it leaves little room for errors or confusion.
Designed for a perfect finish, the ME 40ETR eliminates transfer marks onto the workpiece. The feed track guarantees high quality processing thanks to the versatility it provides. Users can work with polyurethane glue, perform grooves, and many other applications.
Units included on the ME 40ETR:
A grooving unit is available as an alternative to profile scraping, glue scraping, or buffing unit.
