An edge-banding apparatus is provided and configured to apply an edging strip having a heat activated layer to a substrate or work piece. The apparatus uses localized heat generated from a controlled flame from combustible fuel to apply heat to the edging strip to active the heat activated layer.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for activating an adhesive for composing veneers. A method for activating an adhesive for composing veneers according to an aspect of the invention comprises providing the adhesive on a surface of a veneer, and radiating the adhesive on the surface of the veneer. The method may comprise providing a reinforcing material on the adhesive; or providing an adhesive tape on the surface of the veneer, wherein the adhesive tape comprises adhesive coated or impregnated with a reinforcing material. The method may further comprise radiating the adhesive between the surface of the veneer and the reinforcing material.

An edge-casting process for sheet materials according to the present invention includes the following steps: S1. grooving, that is to choose a suitable sheet material, and leave a processing margin on the peripheral edge of the sheet, material, so as to make a first groove; S2. casting or covering, that is to cast a high solid content coating material into said first groove and solidify it; S3. making a second groove on the back of said first groove of the sheet material, and casting a high solid content coating material into said second groove and solidify it; and S4. milling and chamfering, that is to chamfer the sheet material according to a required processing margin, then perform an edge-casting process. An objective of the present invention aims to simplify processes, improve production efficiency, upgrade edge banding performance, greatly enhance the waterproofness, super hardness, anti-friction, collision resistance and adhesion of sheet materials, and dramatically extend the service life of sheet materials, therefor we provide an edge-casting process for sheet materials and its application capable of producing cast edges of variously-shaped sheet materials and suitable for the production of diverse sheet materials.

An improved method of edge modification such as edge banding comprising placing a roller in contact with an edge and measuring a first position of the roller. Subsequently moving the contact roller along the edge to a second position and measuring the second position before calculating a desired force direction from the first and second position measurements, applying a force via the pressure roller in the desired force direction.

An equipping device can accommodate a supply of coating material for a coating machine or a material storage system. The coating material can be kept available and/or evaluated by means of such an equipping device. Additionally, the present disclose also relates to workpieces in the field of furniture and components industry that can be coated with a coating material that can help the user identify the quantity of coating material being used or remaining.

The invention relates to a coating apparatus that is in particular configured to coat narrow surfaces of a plate-shaped workpiece, and to a method. The coating apparatus comprises a first application device for applying a first coating material to a first narrow surface of the workpiece as well as a second application device for applying a second coating material to a second narrow surface of the workpiece. The coating apparatus furthermore comprises a first printing device for printing the first coating material.

Disclosed is a method for preparing a hydrophilic writing sliced bamboo veneer, including, in sequence, the following steps: (1) processing a sliced bamboo veneer into thin bamboo sheets with a thickness of 0.2-0.6 mm; (2) selecting the thin bamboo sheets with less color difference and fewer processing defects, and rolling the selected thin bamboo sheets on a plane; (3) performing deburring, sanding, and surface polishing on the rolled thin bamboo sheets; (4) performing mildewproofing and mothproofing treatment on the thin bamboo sheets; (5) performing surface coating treatment on the thin bamboo sheets using a coating material; (6) drying the coated thin bamboo sheets at low temperature; (7) fine-polishing the dried thin bamboo sheets; (8) cutting the thin bamboo sheets; and (9) flattening, compacting, and piling the cut thin bamboo sheets for future use.
