1.2 Weight
Model Revolution 180
Weight (kg) 2500kg
1.3 Scope of application, operation and intended use.
1.3.1 Scope of application
This contour bander is for the automatic application of a wide range of banding
materials to contoured panels.
1.3.2 Operation
The workpieces are clamped to the worksurface using vacuum cups and the control
system positions the head against the panel and then follows the contour of the
panel.
1.3.3 Intended Use
The Tangent machine is used to profile the unfinished corners which result from
through-feed edgebanding. The cutter unit is mounted in a rotating suspension
system and is controlled by a copy bearing and tracer pin.
For admissible working dimensions, see section 1.5 . Any other use is deemed
incorrect. The manufacturer cannot accept liability for resultant damage. The user
shall bear the risk alone.
