6.3 Mode of Operation
The VECTOR Revolution 180 is intended exclusively for the applying of edging
materials to pre-shaped panels having been previously shaped by other machines
such as CNC machining centres.
The workpiece is placed on vacuum pods which are fixed to the worktable via a
vacuum system. The Pods are placed appropriately to provide stable fixing for the
panel without interfering with the performance of the machine.
The design is such that the exact positioning of the workpiece is not critical as the
VECTOR Revolution 180 automatically senses the shape of the panel and adjusts
accordingly as it progresses.
The VECTOR Revolution 180 uses the principle of Simultaneous Processing which
means that the many different functions of the system are able to operate
concurrently. For example, the tape coil and feed, gluing, pressing and trimming
processes all occur at the same time.
