MesEdge Return Conveyor Line for Edge Banders
Automatic return line that brings panels back to the infeed of the edge banding machine. A single operator can band all 4 edges – saving one worker and speeding up production. For panels from 250 × 50 mm up to 2800 × 1200 mm, 9–60 mm thick.
The MesEdge return conveyor line automatically returns panels to the infeed of the edge banding machine (e.g. KDT KE-712GUBT). The operator feeds the panel manually; after edge banding, the line brings it back to the loading side – one operator can band all 4 edges.
Workflow
- After edge banding, the panel moves onto the rotary lifting transfer.
- Long panels are fed onto the wide belt conveyor by an auxiliary unit.
- The conveyors deliver the panel to the lifting air float table, where the operator stacks it or feeds it back for the next edge.
- When banding the short edges of narrow long panels, a lower auxiliary mechanism with limit wheels turns the panel into the correct direction.
- An outfeed belt conveyor with pressure wheels and stopper is added at the machine outlet.
Workpiece dimensions
- Minimum size: 250 × 50 mm (all 4 edges)
- Long edge only: max. 2800 × 1200 mm
- Short edge only: width < 800 mm → length up to 2800 mm; 800–1000 mm → up to 2440 mm; 1000–1200 mm → up to 2000 mm
- Thickness: 9–60 mm
Line components
| Unit | Power | Air consumption | Size (L × W × H) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotary lifting transfer (rollers and belt up to 80 m/min, Ø56 rollers, 900 kg) | 1.5 kW | 180 l/min | 2710 × 2820 × 960 mm |
| Lifting air float table (0.6 MPa) | 2.2 kW | 240 l/min | 3000 × 1200 × 950 mm |
| Wide belt conveyor | 2.2 kW | – | 6000 × 1450 × 900±50 mm |
| Outfeed belt conveyor with pressure wheels and stopper (0.6 MPa, 300 kg) | 0.75 kW | 100 l/min | 3000 × 1200 × 950 mm |
| Return table (0.6 MPa) | – | 100 l/min | 2000 × 1200 × 950 mm |
The final configuration is adapted to each project. Due to unforeseeable circumstances (panel warping, thickness variations) some workpieces may not return automatically and may require manual assistance.
