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.

The invention relates to a device for providing adhesive without an adhesive basin, including a conveyor unit, having a first conveying device, a first inlet and a first outlet, through which an adhesive present at least in part as a solid is conveyed, and further comprising a heating unit, having a second inlet and a second outlet, and a first heating device for softening and/or liquefying the adhesive. In order to provide an efficiently and cleanly working device and a method for providing adhesive, a dosing unit having a dosing inlet, a longitudinal slit and a roller is provided.

The present invention discloses a supply system for supplying a coating material to a feed device for feeding a coating material to a machining device, wherein the supply system comprises: a storage device configured to store at least one coating material, and a manipulator configured to transfer coating material between the feed device and the storage device.

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.

An exchangeable machining unit (1) for a machining centre (2) for machining workpieces (5) that preferably consist at least in sections of wood, wood-based materials, plastic or the like is disclosed, wherein the exchangeable machining unit (1) comprises a generator (10) for generating energy, selected from the group consisting of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal energy, and radiation and vibration energy, in particular mechanical rotation energy of a drive spindle, in particular of a milling spindle, and has a drive (12) that can be supplied with energy by means of the generator (10). The generator (10) comprises an in particular releasable torque interface (14) for transmitting a torque from the outside to the machining unit (1). The generator (10) is configured to be driven by means of the torque, wherein the drive (12) is driven using the energy from the generator (10). A machining centre having such an exchangeable machining unit is also disclosed.

A glue application device is provided for the application of glue to a short side of a plate-shaped workpiece. Such a glue application device can be included in a coating machine.
