Introduced by IMA on edgebanders in 2009 to coat the narrow sides of panelmaterials with edgematerials without glue.

In the same year the Laser Edging Technology was introduced also for a sationary cnc-machining centre on the new development Ima Bima 500.

Technology

A thin layer of the edgematerial is activated via laser and liquefied. It melts together with the surface of the workpiece. Thus it enables a smooth connection between the panel and the edgematerial.
