PSS PIN SUPPORT SYSTEM

AN EXCLUSIVE ITALPRESSE SOLUTION TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE NEED OF PANEL RAISERS.

ITALPRESSE’S manual pin pedestal system is another significant advantage of the ESTREMA. The “PSS” pin support system eliminates the expense and hassle of pedestal panels and increases the potential output of the press. Setting the pins is quick and easy. There are no complicated electronics or pneumatic components to maintain. Just zip down one row of pins around each panel with a simple hand tool. That’s all there is to it. Only the pins around the immediate perimeter of the part lower down to create enough relief for the foil to properly form to the bottom of edge of the panels. Leaving the rest of the pins in the up position minimizes the amount of stretch induced into the PVC foil. The pins are an integral part of the loading tray and tightly spaced together creating a solid pedestal underneath the part. This eliminates the danger of rupturing the PVC in the open spaces between pins. You can choose to have all of the pins automatically reset as the tray exits the press or leave them as set for the next cycle.

Pre-milling for Edgebanders.

Machinery Solutions

More often today you are finding features on smaller edge banders that initially were exclusive to larger, higher production machines. One of those features is pre-milling. Pre-milling consists of two counter-rotating cutterheads which are designed to mill the edge of the panel prior to applying the edge banding material.

Proper edgebander maintenance.

Machinery Solutions

Edgebanders are one of the more complex machines in operation in most cabinet and millwork shops. The maintenance however is imperative to the performance and reliability of the machine. Without it you can experience a poor edge quality which will result in hand finishing and defects and worst of all significant down time and expense […]
