So far, the biggest problems encountered in the edge banding process are related to hot melt adhesive. The heating time is long, which increases energy consumption and reduces the edge banding efficiency. It contaminates the workpiece and edge banding device and increases the cleaning workload. Special heating and storage devices for hot melt adhesive are required. In addition, from the perspective of product aesthetics, the biggest disadvantage is that there is an edge gap between the edge band and the board. The gap becomes more and more obvious as time goes by, affecting the gluing performance. Quick CNC has launched a new rectangular spot laser edge sealing technology, pushing edge sealing technology to a new level. There is no need to clean equipment and replace adhesives. The edge sealing tape can be replaced according to needs, achieving truly seamless edge sealing.

Laser edge banding has a two-layer structure. The surface layer is ordinary edge banding tape, and the bottom layer is a special functional polymer. To put it simply, the principle of laser edge sealing is that laser edge sealing technology melts functional polymers with laser to join the edge banding tape and the board together to achieve strong bonding strength, thereby achieving seamless edge sealing. In the entire process, the laser concentrates energy to activate (melt) the functional layer with laser absorber. The reaction time is rapid, and then the functional layer disappears. The entire process and materials are very environmentally friendly, causing no material loss, and no additional secondary operations are required. In summary, the laser edge banding process is similar to the traditional edge banding process, but laser edge banding streamlines the edge banding process, reduces unstable factors, and reduces labor and energy consumption due to the integrated production of edge banding tape and adhesive layer. Reduced labor costs, more automation, and more stable product quality.
