During normal processing, all workpieces of one series must have been removed from the edgebander, before entering new processing parameters for a new series via control and thus re-adjusting the aggregates. If the machine is large and the workpiece series small, the machine will not reach full capacity during a significant share of the operating time. Yet, with the help of this automisation package high operating capacity can be reached in spite of small workpiece series.

Components of the automisation package

Job list operating

Processing parameters and workpiece quantity to be processed as Jobs. The various series will be are entered as "Job".

Job change

The job is changed manually, triggered by a scanner.

Adjustment sections

The machine aggregates are grouped by control technological aspects in four adjustment sections. If the workpiece series change, longer time lapses are mandatory for the adjustment of the aggregates. As soon as the workpieces of the first series leave the first adjustment section, these aggregates are changed to the parameters of the next series, after which the workpieces of the next series are fed.

Edge control

If the workpieces of the following series also need different edgematerial, the coil magazine will be also re-adjusted. According to the edge code, the machine control selects the magazine well with the suiting edgematerial, being fed by the edge magazine to the pressure zone.
