Description
The SCM Minimax ME 40etr is a high-performance automatic edge bander built for woodworking shops that demand precision, reliability, and productivity. With a 9 m/min feed speed, a full suite of integrated machining units, and an intuitive touchscreen control interface, the ME 40etr delivers consistent, professional-quality edge banding across a wide range of panel types and edge materials.
Key Features & Benefits
Intelligent Control & Easy Operation
Eye-S 10" touchscreen control panel on the machine infeed side with Maestro Active Edge interface for intuitive, graphical machine management.
Adaptive 3D design preview with real-time feedback eliminates programming errors and guides the operator through correct machine setup.
Numeric readout indicators for panel thickness and unit positioning simplify adjustments and changeovers.
Robust Construction
Main frame constructed from bent and welded steel plates for a high-rigidity structure that minimizes vibration during operation.
Top steel presser with two rows of rubber-coated, bearing-mounted wheels and protective enclosure ensures stable, consistent panel feed.
Feed track made of high-friction rubber pads on an industrial chain, sliding on dual guideways for straight movement and resistance to side loads.
Panel support roller extends the full length of the machine for added stability.
Flexible Gluing System
Hot melt glue pot with rapid heat-up, Teflon-coated interior, and glue spreading roller for consistent application across the panel surface.
Quick-change glue pot system with dual thermoregulation supports both EVA and PUR (polyurethane) glues without lengthy downtime.
Automatic recovery of unused glue, self-lubrication system, and automatic temperature reduction during machine idle periods.
Automatic edge loading system for rolled edges with shear device; supports edges up to 3 mm thickness from a 730 mm diameter coil holder plate.
Automatic loading device for edges in strips also included.
Precision Machining Units
Pre-Milling Unit: Two 80 mm diamond cutters with independent exhaust hoods and air blower deliver superior panel edge linearity and cleanliness before gluing. Vertical tool adjustment extends cutter life into the final sharpening phase.
End Cutting Unit: Performs precise 90° front and rear end cuts on the applied edge.
Top & Bottom Trimming Unit: High-frequency motors with front rotating copiers and vertical copying discs for accurate tool positioning. Combined 55.3 mm cutters handle radius edges (1–3 mm), chamfered thin edges, and solid wood edges up to 5 mm.
Rounding Unit: High-frequency motor controlled via the Eye-S panel delivers a unique, unmatchable finish quality with a rigid structure. Supports radius profiles up to R15 mm and chamfers up to 10 mm.
Edge Scraping Unit: High-rigidity structure with horizontal and vertical copying discs ensures vibration-free, precision finishing of 1–3 mm PVC/ABS edges. Includes numerical readout and manual unit exclusion.
Brushing Unit: Tilted, vertically adjustable dual motors optimize final cleaning and polishing of the applied edge.
Standard Equipment & Tooling
2 pre-mill diamond cutters and a 2 mm tooling set included as standard.
Toolbox with wrenches, allen wrenches, user manual, and spare parts catalog.
Manual top beam adjustment with automatic unit positioning based on selected panel thickness.
Adjustable infeed fence with numeric readout.
Safety & Protection
Full safety enclosure around the machine.
Main power switch lockable in the off position with a padlock.
Emergency pushbutton on the control panel.
Encoder positioned on the panel feed track pinion for precise speed control
