H
olz-Her Reich Spezialmaschinen
GmbH, a leading manufacturer of
edgebanding machines, will present its
new ARCUS range of edgebanders at
the Holz-Her Days 2008.
The ARCUS series is distinguished
by its high variability, higher performance
and greater stability with reduced space
requirement. The modern machine
design sets accents with its large, space-
saving guard hoods and minimalistic
functionalism. The required attachments
such as mounts for the cleaning bottles
or chip catch boxes are integrated into
the body of the machine leaving the
operator room to concentrate on his
actual work - edgebanding.
The newly developed ARCUS series
is equipped with shaping units for
machining the ends as well as machining
post-forming profiles and is also available
with an optional jointing cutter with two
cutter motors.
Three different high performance
packages make the ARCUS the ideal
machine for tailor-made adaptation to
the shop’s processes. All three versions
allow processing of workpieces with
thicknesses up to 60 mm and gluing and
post-processing of edging with thickness
of 3 mm, 8mm and 15 mm depending on
the equipment.
The feed rate is 10 m/min. on the
simplest version and up to 10-18
m/min. on versions with infinitely
adjustable drive. These speeds
are achieved by a powerful
drive motor with output of
2.2 kW.
In the run-in area
the ARCUS models offer
an optional possibility of
attaching a jointing cutter
with two motors in the forward
and backward directions to
eliminate hairline fissures in the final
layer of the panel material. Here chip-
optimised and noise-reducing, diamond-
coated cutting tools are used. With the
ProLock quick-change unit these can be
changed very quickly.
The edge guide, which can be
adjusted without tools, provides precision
guidance for coiled or cut-length edging,
and cuts off the coiled edging from the
coil with a powerful guillotine blade.
For glue application HOLZ-HER offers
its own patented nozzle application
systems with cartridge or for processing
glue in granule form. This ensures that
PVA or PUR glues can be used without
problems. The short heat-up time of 3.5
minutes ensures users that the machine
is quickly ready for operation saving
unnecessary waiting time.
The optional, pneumatically controlled
pressure unit provides maximum edge
pressure to glue the edges optimally
so that the glued joint is hardly visible
at all.
The post-processing units consist
primarily of standard attachments with
high rigidity. These are attached to a
flat milled surface. The end trimming
unit with its two motors ensures tear-free
cutting results for high
processing rates. Surface hardened
guides guarantee long-term cutting
precision. The unit can also be pivoted
up to 10° for chamfered cuts. Heavy duty
cutters are used for flush cutting. These
allow processing of edge thicknesses up
to 15 mm. Depending on the equipment
version the ARCUS series offers various
shaping units for corner copying and
postforming. PVC edges are trimmed
with a scraper unit, available with
optional motor-drive and pneumatic
control.
Clean final processing is achieved
with finishing units such as scrapers
and buffing units. A heavy duty grooving
unit is available for cutting longitudinal
grooves in the surface or ends of the
panel.
With their compact design and
variable attachment capabilities the
ARCUS models from HOLZ-HER have
redefined the middle class range of
edgebanders.
