An edge trimming mechanism of an edge banding machine capable of removing scraps includes a cutting device and an air guiding cover. The cutting device includes a motor having a power outputting shaft, and a cutter mounted at an end of the power outputting shaft. The air guiding cover is hollow-shaped, installed outside the motor, and has air inlet and outlet. The power outputting shaft protrudes out of the air inlet and the cutter is at least partially located out of the air inlet. An air exhausting path is defined between the inner wall of the air guiding cover and the outer wall of the motor. Two opposite ends of the air exhausting path communicate with the air inlet and outlet respectively. By the above-described configuration of the edge trimming mechanism, it is effective in removing the scraps produced by the edge banding machine in the edge trimming process.

A glue applying mechanism of an edge banding machine includes a base, a glue applying unit and a glue quantity regulator. The base includes a glue tub. The glue applying unit is rotatably disposed on the glue tub of the base and includes a glue shaft and an obliquely glue applying member connected with the glue shaft. The glue quantity regulator is rotatably disposed on the base and includes a rotatable shaft, and a regulating plate and a blocking plate, which are connected with the rotatable shaft. The regulating plate is rotatable along with the rotatable shaft to cause edges of the regulating plate adjacent to the glue applying unit at the same time. The blocking plate is fixed to the rotatable shaft separately from the regulating plate. The above-described configuration of the glue applying mechanism is effective in controlling the applied glue quantity in thickness.

The invention relates to a device for depositing veneers on a carrier board. In order to create a device and a method by which veneers can be applied to a carrier board particularly easily, quickly and precisely, provided in the region of an upper end of a transporting device is a veneer magazine, with at least two compartments which are designed to store and supply veneer strips, and with means for transferring the veneer strips from the compartments to the transporting device, wherein the transporting device extends from an upper end obliquely downwards in the direction of a lower end in the region of a transporting plane for the carrier board and is designed to transport at least two individual adjacent veneer strips from the upper end to the lower end and to deposit them on the carrier board.

The aim of the invention is to propose an edging method that is quick, effective, easy to implement and makes it possible to obtain a lightweight panel. To this end, the aim of the invention is a method for sealingly edging a composite panel comprising; *a step (a) of providing a composite panel of redefined thickness having two planar faces and a side to be edged, and of providing a sealing strip made from a polymer material having a width greater than the thickness of the composite panel, and comprising a first face, referred to as the “inner” face, and a second face, referred to as the “outer” face, in reference to the position of use of same: *a step (b) of applying the strip and an adhesive to the side and to a peripheral portion of the planar faces of the composite panel in such a way that the adhesive is located between the composite panel and the inner face of the strip, which sealingly protects the composite panel against dust, foreign bodies and the absorption of moisture.

A hot gas generation device with which a gas flow, for example, an air flow, is heated. This device is used for heating an edge band or another coating material, in particular an adhesive layer provided on this coating material. In this way, the coating material is prepared for being applied to a (wooden) work piece, which may, for example, be plate-shaped.

The invention relates to a device for printing on edge bands including at least one printhead for producing a printed image on the edge band; a linear drive for moving the at least one printhead in a printing direction within a printing region between two end positions; a feeding apparatus for feeding the edge band into the printing region in a transport direction; and a control apparatus for controlling the at least one printhead, the linear drive and the feeding apparatus. The technical problem of technically and economically improving the process of printing on edge bands is solved in that the transport direction of the edge band is oriented substantially parallel to the printing direction. The invention further relates to a method for printing on edge bands.

The present invention relates to devices with which, for example, narrow surfaces of preferably plate-like workpieces can be provided with a coating material. The device includes a laser for outputting a laser beam to a laser beam emitter, wherein the laser beam is directed onto the coating material or onto the workpiece in such a manner that the laser beam forms a plane of reference with solder on the surface of the coating material or the workpiece.

A device for applying adhesive to a substrate, having an application roller that is rotatable about an axis, an installation for dispensing adhesive to a circumferential area of the application roller, a dispensing region of the application roller for dispensing adhesive from the application roller, and having a doctor blade, wherein the dispensing region for adhesive in the rotation direction of the application roller is located behind the installation for dispensing the adhesive to the application roller and ahead of the doctor blade. In such a device it is provided that the application roller is rotatable about a vertical axis and the excess adhesive wiped by the doctor blade reaches a collection installation that is located below the doctor blade. In a method for applying adhesive to a substrate, excess adhesive that has not been applied to the substrate is disposed of.
