SCM Minimax ME 35 Edgebander, INCLUDES FREIGHT

PLC CONTROLLER
The control system for the Minimax ME 35 is an intuitive and easy to use interface. Positioned near the tape roll holder and infeed side of the machine, this allows for you to easily access all of the main functions. The PLC unit guides the operator during maintenance, cleaning, diagnostic operations and more.

PANEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Manual adjustment of the presser, with numerical readout and automatic positioning of the upper operating units according to the panel height.

TRACK FEED MOVEMENT SYSTEM
The Minimax ME 35 uses a track feed panel movement system that allows for precise and accurate positioning of the panel through each station. Designed for a perfect finish that eliminates transfer marks onto the work piece. 9 meter/min panel feed speed with track movement for increased productivity with dual presser wheels and panel roller support on the entire length of the machine. Monitoring of the panel position is done by an encoder for total work cycle control.

DIGITAL MECHANICAL READOUTS
Each station on the edge bander is easily adjustable and repeatable through the use of these digital mechanical readouts. Easily input the dimensions you are processing, and fine tune them simply. 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.

HIGH FREQUENCY MOTORS
Thanks to the high frequency motors of the end cutting unit and of the in-line top/bottom trimming units, the reliability of the Minimax ME 35 is unmatched. With the absence of belts or other conventional driving systems, we have engineered less vibration into the unit, increasing reliability and precision over the life of your machine.

PRE-MILLING UNIT
The Minimax ME 35 Pre-mill unit is complete with two diamond cutters that are 80mm in diameter. This allows for a clean edge and a good lineal finish during the pre-mill process. Pre-milling comes with an independent exhaust and air blower for cleaning of the panel during this station. Vertical adjustment of pre-milling unit allows for even tool wear. Four manual shims of varying thicknesses (0.5 to 1 to 1.5 and 2mm) come with your ME 35ETR for setting stock removal thickness.

GLUE POT UNIT
The Minimax ME 35 edge bander features a glue pot with a quick heat-up system. This self-lubricating glue pot is Teflon coated to allow for easy clean up and replacement. The system easily applies the glue to the panel with a vertical glue spreading roller, and the temperature is adjustable via the PLC control. Additionally, the unit also has a device to automatically recover unused glue, and automatic lowering of the glue pot temperature after temporary non-use of the machine.

GLUE POT RAPID SUBSTITUTION KIT
This feature allows you to easily remove and replace the glue pot tank in the machine. This machine does not come with a spare glue pot which can be purchased with the machine as an optional accessory upon request (code 58.05.15).

SPECIAL END-CUTTING UNIT WITH “RADIUS” FUNCTION (ME 35ET MODEL)
This station is installed in place of the standard end-cutting unit. During the process of cutting off the front and rear exceeding edges (except for solid wood strips), it rounds off the angles of the edge banded panel. This creates a beautiful radius edge. This function is directly controlled with the operator interface at the control panel. With its own independent high frequency motor running the blade at 12,000 rpm with an Ø 125mm Z12 blade, you can expect the finest finish of any edge bander in its class.

FULL CORNER ROUNDING END-TRIMMING UNIT (ME 35ETR CORNER ROUNDING MODEL)
During the process of removal of the front and rear exceeding edge; this two stage unit trims 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. 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 small to medium-sized shop to compete.

TOP/BOTTOM TRIMMING UNIT
The Minimax ME 35 is equipped with high frequency motors, horizontal and vertical copy wheels for accurate positioning of tools with reference to the cutting point. This unit is provided with 55.3mm diameter, combined cutters: the radius part of the cutter is used to trim 3mm radius edges and chamfered thin edges. The edge thickness is shown by two numeric readouts. The unit is equipped with independent exhaust systems.

EDGE SCRAPING UNIT
High finishing quality of material edges thanks to the radius knives that help ensure the elimination of any marks left from the trimming unit tools, all equipped with front and vertical copy wheels, and a user-friendly device for exclusion of the unit when it is not in use.

GLUE SCRAPING UNIT
Ideal for removing all excess glue squeeze-out on the top and bottom surfaces of the panel. Engineered with a high-polish finish, the adjustable copy shoes are designed to help prevent scratching on delicate materials.

BUFFING/BRUSHING UNIT
The buffing station includes two independent motors running at 2,800 rpm for edge cleaning and polishing. The unit is tilted, and vertically adjustable to optimize the polishing and cleanliness of your finished panel.
