Learn how to identify common edge banding defects and adjust the process parameters that matter. In four practical videos, Henkel experts show you which machine settings, temperatures and material factors to check.
Video tutorials that help you identify defects, adjust key parameters, and improve edge quality.
Visible glue lines, open joints or poor bond strength rarely have just one possible cause. In four hands-on videos, Henkel experts examine typical defects at the machine, explain what may be behind them and show which settings to check.
A prominent glue line can spoil the appearance of the finished component. It is also a sign that the process may need fine-tuning. The video looks at three key factors: adhesive temperature, pressure roller settings and application weight.
In this video, you will learn:
- where and how to check the actual adhesive temperature,
- what matters when adjusting the pressure rollers,
- how to find the right adhesive application weight.
When an edge fails to bond properly, the adhesive is not always to blame. The cause may lie in the machine setup. This video highlights the mechanical settings that have the greatest influence on bond quality.
In this video, you will learn:
- how to set the infeed guide correctly,
- what to look for at the main pressure roller and secondary pressure zone,
- why an even adhesive layer is so important.
Bonding performance depends on more than the adhesive alone. Adhesive temperature, substrate temperature and the core material all play a part. This video explains how to recognise temperature- and material-related problems and what to do about them.
In this video, you will learn:
- where to measure the adhesive temperature,
- why proper substrate conditioning makes a difference,
- how the core material affects the amount of adhesive required.
An open joint running along the entire edge can point to several issues, from incorrect trimming and a misaligned application unit to build-up on the application roller. The video takes you through the checks step by step.
In this video, you will learn:
- how to verify the alignment of the jointing cutters,
- how to position the adhesive application unit correctly,
- how to avoid streaks and uneven adhesive application.
Good edge quality depends on the right interplay between adhesive, material and machine settings. Henkel combines TECHNOMELT® adhesive solutions with practical application expertise to help furniture manufacturers achieve reliable, consistent results.
