Product Indexes: Alphabetical and ID indexes are included for easy reference to products and tools.
Tables and Diagrams: The document contains tables listing specifications for various tools, including dimensions, knife types, and machine compatibility, which are crucial for selecting the appropriate tool for specific applications.
Conclusion: The document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and maintaining panel processing tools, emphasizing the importance of tool design for performance and longevity.
Profile Cutter Overview: Profile cutters are designed for rounding and profiling edgebandings on edgebanding machines. They are compatible with various machines and suitable for materials like plastic, softwood, hardwood, and veneer.
Technical Specifications: The cutters are DP tipped with adaptors ensuring high concentricity and efficient chip clearance. They are designed for high-speed operations with a maximum RPM of 18,000.
Edge Processing Tools: Various edge finishing tools are detailed, including multi-profile cutters like Diamaster PRO and flexTrim, which offer a choice of radii and bevels.
Product Availability: Some tools are available ex-stock, while others can be supplied at short notice. Specific product IDs for left-hand and right-hand configurations are provided.
Spare Parts: The document lists spare parts such as cylindrical screws and Allen keys, which are supplied with the tools.
Recommendations: It is recommended to change single tools during a service by Homag or Leitz tool service. Alternative multi-profile trimming heads can be supplied on request.
Edge Processing Tools Overview: Edge finishing tools are designed to prevent stress-whitening and rework through specialized cutting geometry. They include scraper turnblades with various radii and anti-stress-whitening bevels.
Profile Scrapers: Used for scraping edgebandings with radii or bevels on edgebanding machines, suitable for plastic edgebandings.
Multi-Profile Scrapers: Offer multiple profiles with different bevels and radii, designed to prevent stress-whitening.
Flat Scrapers: Used for scraping edgebandings and glue, compatible with edgebanding machines.
Profile Cutterheads: Used for rounding or beveling edgebandings on stationary machines, suitable for various materials.
Postforming Processing: Tools for producing workpieces with narrow edges for profiling and coating, compatible with chipboard and fibre materials.
Finishing Cutterheads: Used for finish cutting of radii on postforming profiles, equipped with DP tipped profile knives.
Segment Hoggers: Used for sizing and finishing cuts, with tool bodies made of steel or aluminum and tungsten carbide segments.
Spare Parts: Various spare parts such as Torx® keys, screws, and clamping wedges are available for maintenance and replacement purposes.
Specifications: The cut edge quality is influenced by the circular sawblade used, with options for tool bodies in steel or aluminum and staggered cuts using tungsten carbide segments.
Machine and Workpiece Compatibility: Designed for use in sizing stations within production lines, compatible with materials like chip and fibre boards.
Spare Parts and Maintenance: A list of spare parts is provided with part numbers for easy identification and replacement. Maintenance guidelines include checking tool settings and ensuring proper feed speed and pressure.
Troubleshooting: Common problems such as breakouts at workpiece edges and tool wear are addressed with potential causes and corrective actions.
Signs of Wear: Details on wear patterns for HW and DP cutting edges are provided, with suggestions for extending tool life.
Order and Enquiry Information: Forms for ordering and enquiries are included, requiring details about the machine, tool, and workpiece material.
Additional Resources: References to instruction manuals and further information are available on the manufacturer's website.
