According to the shape characteristics of the edges of the processed parts, the edge sealing of panel furniture can be divided into straight edge sealing and curved edge sealing. With the increasing promotion of panel furniture, while maintaining direct edge sealing production, it is necessary to add some curved components to beautify the product shape and improve the value of the entire workpiece. However, the processing speed of curve edge banding is slow, which not only increases the aesthetic appeal but also limits the production speed.

At present, the edge banding of panel furniture is mostly carried out on edge banding machines. The selection and configuration of edge banding machines mainly depend on the shape characteristics of the workpiece to be processed, the type of edge banding material, and also consider issues such as productivity and quality. Edge banding machines can be divided into manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic according to their degree of automation. Straight edge banding can use ordinary straight edge banding machines, as well as soft forming edge banding machines, post forming edge banding machines, double end edge banding machines, etc. Relatively speaking, curve edge banding is more complex and can be performed using manual edge banding machines, machining centers, semi-automatic or fully automatic CNC edge banding machines.

Linear edge banding is commonly used on simple shaped products such as office furniture and cabinets. When configuring, the main consideration is the increase or decrease in production capacity and some functions, such as adding scraper devices to PVC or ABS edge banding materials; For solid wood edge banding, it is necessary to add a finishing knife and sanding device; To ensure the quality of edge sealing is not affected by low winter temperatures, it is recommended to choose edge sealing machines equipped with far-infrared preheating devices.

Curve edge sealing can be processed using several methods. At present, most manufacturers use manual edge banding machines to process curved edge parts, especially for sheet metal parts with internal arcs. The diameter of the edge banding machine's wheels will determine the depth of large curves that can be processed. Using a manual edge banding machine to seal curved edges has the characteristics of simple operation and minimal usage. However, due to the use of manual edge sealing, the quality is relatively low, mainly manifested in low bonding strength, poor repeatability accuracy, and high rework rate. At the same time, manual edge banding machines are relatively difficult for commonly used thick edge banding strips (1.0-3.0mm), while thin edge banding strips (0.4-1.0mm) used on some invisible components can be processed in straight and curved lines.

From the above analysis, it can be seen that straight edge banding and curved edge banding techniques are different, and the edge banding equipment used is also different. Therefore, it is recommended that manufacturers pay attention to product output and adaptability to market demand when purchasing and using edge banding machines, so as to choose equipment with different degrees of automation and combine them.
