Automatic High-Speed Crawler Edge Banding Machine with Dual Scraping (Model HE-968-X1)

The 9-Series Evolution: Double Scraping for Mirror Finishes. Building upon the robust platform of the HE-965, the HYG HE-968-X1 takes surface refinement to the absolute limit. This model retains the flagship Crawler Transmission and Belt Pressing systems but introduces an additional Secondary Scraping Unit, making it the definitive choice for manufacturers of High-Gloss, Matte, and Aluminum furniture where surface imperfections are not an option.

As an Aluminum-Wood Integrated Machine, the HE-968-X1 offers the versatility to process heavy solid wood doors and delicate aluminum honeycomb panels. The addition of the extra scraping station ensures that even the hardest aluminum edges or the most sensitive acrylic tapes are finished without “chatter marks” or tool lines.

The “Dual Scraping” Quality Upgrade

1. Dual Scraping System (Radius + Flat)

The defining feature of the X1 model is the Scraping 1 + Scraping 2 configuration.

• Scraping 1 (Radius): Removes the “knife marks” left by the fine trimming cutters, smoothing the curved edge profile.

• Scraping 2 (Finish): A secondary pass that further refines the surface. When combined with the Flexible Edge Scraping unit later in the line, this creates a Triple-Polished Effect that manual finishing cannot replicate.

2. Crawler & Belt Pressing Stability

Like the HE-965, the X1 utilizes the 9-Series Crawler (Track) Conveyor.

• Stability: The continuous track prevents the panel from slipping or vibrating, which is critical when multiple scraping units are engaging the board simultaneously.

• Belt Pressing: The overhead belt applies uniform holding pressure, ensuring the Aluminum or PUR bond cures perfectly flat without pressure points.

3. Aluminum-Wood Hybrid Processing

This machine is calibrated for mixed material production.

• Adaptability: It handles the rigid cutting requirements of Aluminum strips and the porous nature of Wood/MDF equally well. The 22 KW total power system ensures heavy-duty motors prevent stalling on metal edges.

• Optional PUR: Compatible with our Quick-Melt PUR System, providing the waterproof and heat-resistant bond required for aluminum kitchen cabinetry.

4. 4-Motor High-Speed Chamfering

The X1 is equipped with Four High-Frequency Motors for corner rounding. This allows the machine to maintain high feed speeds while ensuring every corner of the panel is soft and safe to the touch, matching the premium quality of the scraped edges.

The 16-Step Ultra-Finish Workflow

The HE-968-X1 executes a comprehensive sequence designed for surface perfection:

1. Separating Agent: Prevents glue mess.

2. Pre-milling: Squares the edge (Aluminum/Wood ready).

3. Heating Lamp: Prepares edge temperature.

4. Gluing: Precision application (PUR Optional).

5. Six-Wheel Pressing: Initial tack pressure.

6. Belt Pressing: Long-contact holding pressure.

7. End Cutting: Flush trimming.

8. Rough Trimming: Removes bulk tape.

9. Fine Trimming: Creates the radius.

10. Four-Motor High-Speed Chamfering: Corner rounding.

11. Scraping 1 (Radius): Primary smoothing.

12. Scraping 2 (Finish): Secondary refinement (The Upgrade).

13. Cleaning: Removes residue.

14. Flexible Edge Scraping: Cleans the glue line.

15. Buffing 1: Initial polish.

16. Buffing 2: Final shine.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• High-Gloss Acrylic Kitchens: Where even microscopic cutter marks are visible. The dual scraping ensures a glass-like edge.

• Aluminum Edge Doors: Aluminum requires aggressive trimming which leaves marks; the extra scraper removes these burrs completely.

• Luxury Wardrobes: Producing “soft-touch” matte finishes that feel perfectly smooth to the hand.
