4 Steps of Maintaining Edgebander Edge Banding Machine

4 Steps of Maintaining Edgebander Edge Banding Machine
Every machine need to adjust and maintain for their best performance. Edgebanding machine contains the processes of: pre-milling, spray anti-glue coating agent, preheating of the plate, pressure sealing and cutting, front and rear cutting and roughing up and down, scratch repair and polishing, each process needs to check regularly in case of the worn of machine parts or computer system failure cause the damage of machine. So here are 4 projects you need to check on time:

1. Clean up the external of edgebanding machine regularly. First of all, we must clean the wood chips and various wood debris generated during the production process, to prevent the accumulating of wood chips which will cause the machine get stuck, affect the normal use of the edge banding machine. Secondly, clean the stains on the surface of the machine in time, to keep the edge banding machine tidy and prevent corrosion damage to the surface of the edgebanding machine.

2. Regular lubrication of the edge banding machine is very important. The bearings of the various parts should be lubricated regularly, and the proper lubricating oil must be selected.

3. Regular inspections. Regularly check and maintain the edge banding machine. During the maintenance process, carefully check the wear and tear of the gears, bearings, pressure rollers, conveyor chain pads, support beam wheel, buffing wheel and other parts of the edge banding machine, and replace the worn parts in time.

4. The edge banding machine computer system maintenance. Today's edge banding machines are mostly connected to computers, so it can be automated by computer program. If there is a problem with the computer system, it will affect the normal use of the machine.

The guide rails of the edge banding machine should be cleaned every day. I recommend adding the 46th rail oil to the sliding surface, or the oil sealing hole. The edge banding machine oil water separator and oil cup is filled with low viscosity air compressor oil; add two-thirds of the oil cup. For the edge banding machine main drive motor, check the gear oil whether need to add every two months. The gears under the glue box of the edge banding machine should be inspected and cleaned every 40 hours, and filled with high viscosity grease.
The head rail part needs to be blown clean with an air gun every day, and then injected into the sewing machine oil or transformer oil, one or two times a day.
Here is the suggested checking list; you can adjust it based on your machine model:

No.	Projects	Project’s details	Period	1/1	2/1
1	Whole machine	Clean external dust and wood chips	1 Day
2	Glue Shovel device	Clean the cutting tools	1 Day
3	Pneumatic device	Check condensate drain valve	1 Day
4	Gluing device	Lubricating roller bearing	2 Days
5	Pre-milling device	Check the cutting tools	7 Days
6	Pressure roller	Check whether need replacement	7 Days
7	Front and rear cutting device	Check linear guides and shock absorbers	7 Days
8	Refining device	Check the sharpness of the tool, clean the motor and the hood	7 Days
9	front and rear tracking device	Check tool sharpness and contour wheel	7 Days
10	Scraper device	Check the sharpness of the tool	7 Days
11	Front and rear cutting device	Linear guide lubrication	15 Days
12	Upper beam	Check lubrication	30 Days
13	Upper beam pressure roller	Check for wear	30 Days
14	Pre-milling device	Guide rod lubrication	30 Days
15	Gluing device	Cleaning the glue working parts	30 Days
16	Gluing device	Check the glue level sensor	30 Days
17	Refining device	Check lubrication of ball screw and movement parts	30 Days
18	front and rear tracking device	Check lubrication of ball screw and linear guide	30 Days
19	Scraper device	Check lubrication of movement parts	30 Days
20	Glue Shovel device	Check lubrication of movement parts	30 Days
21	Polishing device	Check the wear of the polishing wheel	30 Days
22	Main drive motor	check the gear oil is enough or not	60 Days

Also, the change of worn machine parts is very important, to keep the machine in normal use and increase the safety during work.

Those edgebander parts are most easily worn, please be noticed:
Polishing Wheels: they are used for edge banding machine polishing and buffing wood panel edge. Normally need to replace every 2 months, if your edgebander working too often.

Edgebander Pressure Roller Wheels: they are edge conveyor wheel with high quality HSK bearing. Normally they can be used for 1-2 years based on the toughness of workpiece and other factors.

Edgebander Track Pads: they are made of high quality nylon and rubber, last for long time working. Around 2 years use life based on using situation.

Side Rollers Beam Wheels: these side rollers support at both ends, which helps in easy movement and feeding of workpiece on the table. Because they only in the function of supporting the workpiece to move, so they have a very long use life.
