Description
CNC routers and machining centers play an ever greater role in the
production of furniture components. These machines lend themselves well
to a wide variety of applications, but they do not apply edge-banding.
Another handicap: If a router does not come from Homag, it cannot be
upgraded with an edge gluing unit to turn it into a complete processing
centre. |
Edges in all shapes and variants
With the BAK 41 and the BAK 31, Homag is now offering new, outstandingly
low-cost solutions for flexible, efficient edge banding and finish
processing. It is now possible for you to substantially extend your
product range in conjunction with your existing CNC machines.
Rectangular or curved components can be fitted with all types of popular
edging material: Veneers and different plastic edges on coils or as
fixed length material up to 3 mm in thickness, or optionally even up to
4 mm. And all this in a minimum of space, as the BAK 41 and the BAK 31
also come with impressively compact dimensions. The BAK 31 offers you a
greater working depth of 1600 mm, for example for desk tops, while the
BAK 41 is already able to cover most applications with a working depth
of 1220 mm. |
World leading technology
The BAK is backed by the know-how of Homag, the world's leader in edge
application technology, giving you the reassurance you need to make your
capital investment decision. |

31 - pacemakers when it comes to edge banding
With their high gluing speed rates (up to 20 m/min!), traversing speeds
(up to 60 m/min!), their rapid axis acceleration and, last but not
least, extremely low machine set-up times, the BAK 41 and BAK 31 race
through their work at impressive speed. Another time benefit: The
coupled-motion operation of units and edges substantially reduces
downtimes.
Produce without stopping by pendulum processing
Dual zone design allows for loading and off-loading of complete parts
while the machine is in operation. This alternating style of processing
ensures that the machine remains constantly in production. |
Highly flexible solid table design
The solid table design allows for positioning of the vacuum pods at
irregular angles, and simplifies the use of vacuum fixtures, which is a
benefit when running complex, contoured components.
Set-up is simplified by laser and alignment fences
For fast, simple and precise suction cup positioning, the BAK 41 and BAK
31 are equipped with a laser positioning aid. And the new fences (2 each
on the X and Y axis) simplify the precise positioning of non-rectangular
workpieces. |
All-round perfection: 360 degree gluing unit
This traced gluing unit is designed to ensure fast, perfect all-round
gluing. It goes without saying that the gluing head is also able take
inside radii (up to R=30 mm) easily in its stride. The Homag gluing unit
works with direct glue application – making it far faster than with
pre-coated edging material.
The technology is proven and matured:
- Edges are fed at a flat angle
- No soiling of application units by chips due to an air cleaning jet
integrated in the gluing unit
- Constant gluing speed independently of the workpiece contour.
- Scanning measurement system in the gluing unit makes sure of precise
edge butt joints – only a fine hair joint remains visible.
- Optional equipment with edge pre-heating for the banding of thick
edgings on small workpiece radii from 8 mm (depending on edge type)
Coupled-motion edging
As the edging coil moves along together with the workpiece (optionally
two coils), you can run your machine at full output, and the new
horizontal edge changer ensures even more careful handling of the edging
material (without twisting).
Collision control – playing it safe
Automatic calculation of the gluing unit rotary angle in WoodWOP ensures
even, collision-free edge gluing to a high standard of quality. |
