Edgebanding machine
Replacing DC motors to integrated closed-loop stepper technology
Superior edge appearance is decisive for any high quality furniture! For a technological leader in edgebanding machines in Germany, optically invisible zero joints are a matter of course. Our customer’s latest edgebander has switched from DC motors to the stepIM closed loop stepper technology.

To increase the speed and cost efficiency of the machine. Each edgebander employs 12-30 axes that now achieve higher speed for the same torque – an increase from 40 to 200 rpm!
