The purpose of this test is to check that the tape is applying correctly and to ensure there
is a glue bead on the top and bottom edges of the panel, that the edge material is applied
with even overhang on the bottom (approx 2mm) and that the edge bond is tight around all
corners as well as to prepare a panel for testing the setup of the trimmers and scrapers.
See troubleshooting section 11 to resolve any issues with this edgebanding.
9.2.6 Trimming the edge material only (without applying edge material or scraping).
Using the panel created when testing the gluing and edge material application in section
9.4, it is now possible to start the cycle with the glue turned off for the purpose of testing
the trimming setup.
The Vector Revolution has a patented trimming unit which travels with the gluing and
taping aggregate and performs the top and bottom radius trimming in the same pass as
the tape application.
The trimmer is supported on hinge pivot mechanism and is controlled against the panel
via the PLC and pneumatic systems.
The settings of the cutters are controlled via horizontal and vertical tracer shoes. These
are both adjustable.
Start the cycle as per section 9.2.4 but with the glue turned off and the trimming turned on.
See section 9.2.1.1 for explanation on changing the settings. Leave all other functions
turned off as per the test in 9.2.4 and use the same simple rectangular panel which was
edge taped in this test.
NOTE!
It is not possible to start the cycle with the glue turned off by simply pushing the start cycle
button. This is to prevent the possibility of inadvertently starting a cycle without the glue
on. If this is done when there is no edge material on the panel, the trimmers will cut the
panel.
Thus it is required to be a deliberate action to start a cycle without glue and requires also
that the Start with Glue OFF key (975) is first pushed. After this is set, the Start Cycle
(960) button will commence the cycle provided there are no Start Prevent errors.
Because the glue is turned off, the cycle will start without feeding any edge material.
The trimmer will start automatically and trim the panel.
For the purpose of testing the setup of the trimmer however, allow the trimmer to trim for
about 300mm and then turn the trimmer off using the Trimmer key (976).
Now to finish the cycle prematurely, push the End Cycle button (959). This will simulate
an guillotine cut of the edge material, finish out the cycle and return to the “ready for cycle”
position.
