SNX nVISION G1 Series Semi-Automatic Contour Edgebander

SNX | nVISION G1 SERIES SEMI-AUTOMATIC CONTOUR EDGEBANDER

Contour (curved) edgebanding made simple.

The SNX nVision G1 Series Semi-Automatic Contour Edgebander make banding shaped parts easy. With an SNX nVision, you will enjoy the tightest butt joints and inside/outside radii in the industry! The US-made hotmelt contour edgebanders offers any woodworking shop an easy, affordable, and versatile shaped part banding solution. It allows shops to bring contour banding production in-house by being more cost-effective than outsourcing. The wood industry is moving to provide its customers with more and more complex shaped parts in their projects and the nVision allows your company to respond in a faster, more efficient way than ever possible.

An SNX nVision can edgeband curved work surfaces up to 5′ x 10′ weighing up to 230lbs. You will be able to band .5″ – 2.25″ thick boards with .5mm – 3mm tape.

Forget underpowered manual stations or the expense and continuous training of a CNC curved edgebander. The nVision is easy to operate, easy to set up, and easy to own.

KEY FEATURES

100% US designed, built & supported – faster parts and service response, lower shipping costs
UL-certified electrical cabinet – fully-compliant with codes
Heavy-duty machined frame – added stability absorbs vibrations that could affect banding quality
Large touch-screen graphical PC controller – less need for special training or language translation to operate machine
Articulated vacuum pod arm supports parts – maximum panel weight = 230 lbs!
Machine can band and trim parts up to 10’ in size! – ideal for closet parts, lockers
Machine designed to apply hot melt EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) adhesive on 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm tape – can also band some wood veneers & special tapes
All machine drive systems (spindles, rollers) powered by a single motor – quiet, reliable power
Spindle drive system uses SNX Armordrive serpentine Kevlar belt – smoother, quieter, longer life operation without the need for lubrication
Triax 3-axis laser system (patent pending) ensures consistently tighter butt joints on panels – for better-looking products, consistent performance.
Incredibly tight inner and outer radius bands – can out-band more expensive CNC machines!
Glue pot holds 1kg of adhesive, machine has hopper with laser-guided auto-filling of the glue pot – never run out of glue again
Trimming unit trims top and bottom tape overhang of finished bands using same vacuum arm; trim station retracts pneumatically to allow swings of large parts during banding process

UNITS

Digital PLC touch-screen control

Touch “Auto” = Triax 3-axis laser system is on to follow part geometry
Touch “Manual” = Triax laser system is off for perimeter distance banding
Colorful graphic interface makes operation and programming easier
Temperature interlock prevents drive system start-up until the proper operating temperature is reached
Precision +/- adjustment (to .1mm increments) for accurate firing/timing of the guillotine cut-off
Ability to run MANUAL or SEMI-AUTOMATIC machine modes
Infinitely variable electronic feed speed adjustment

Vacuum & Mechanical Workpiece Holding

Utilizes a pneumatic vacuum pump system (adjustable via pneumatic regulator)
Vacuum is provided via a rotating aluminum vacuum pod table
Additional vacuum tables are available (part specific)
Vacuum tables have rubber gasketing to ensure adequate workpiece hold.
Work piece feeder is driven with an EXTRA WIDE rubber roller and double upper support rollers
Vacuum tables are at the end of a large, Heavy-Duty articulating arm.
Dual pneumatic pinch roller drive system with quick release from panel surface.

Infeed, Guillotine, & Patented 3-Axis Laser

Machine comes with a universal edgeband tape coil stand.
Automatic guillotine for making mitred cuts on edgebanding up to 60mm in height
Guillotine activated by a digital/laser encoder system or by manual foot pedal
Patent-pending TRIAX 3-axis laser system automatically fires the guillotine for butt joint cuts. Laser system “floats” to follow part geometry, even with warped or sagging panels

Glue Pot & Hopper System

1 kg glue capacity
Adjustable control of glue coverage
Laser auto-feed glue pellet hopper
Teflon-coated glue pot for easy cleaning
Digital glue temperature setting

Top & Bottom Trimming Station

Two variable high frequency motors for edge trimming: Motor: 2 x 0.5 KW (.75 HP), 300 HZ, Speed 12000 RPM
Maximum edge strip thickness: 3 mm (PVC)
Maximum edge strip height: 60mm
Manual adjustment of the trim motors for work piece thickness via hand lever.
Pneumatic opening of the trim motors to facilitate the introduction of the panel
(3) Three stepped radius cutter heads with 1mm, 2mm and 3mm
(3) Three shoes come standard – 1mm, 2mm 3mm
Cyclone designed dust shrouds for excellent chip extraction
(4) Four digital readouts for fast radius and panel thickness changeovers
Guiding and positioning of trimming function around the contour of the work piece is done manually by the operator.
On / Off selector switch for independent use of unit
