This IMA Compact U PC 6 is a used edge bander — sometimes referred to as an edge banding machine — dating from 1996 and currently located in Belgium. Edge banders are woodworking machines used in panel processing to apply and finish edge material along the exposed sides of boards and panels, delivering clean, durable results in furniture manufacture, cabinetry, and joinery production. IMA is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of building edge banding and panel processing machinery for the woodworking industry.
This machine carries serial number 06415 and is equipped with a notably comprehensive set of processing units, making it a capable, fully configured line for panel edge finishing. Feed speed is adjustable between 10 and 20 metres per minute, accommodating different materials and finish requirements. It accepts workpieces with a thickness range of 10 to 50 mm and a minimum width of 85 mm with a 35 mm overhang. Edge material can be processed in strip form at thicknesses from 0.4 to 20 mm, or fed from a roll at thicknesses from 0.4 to 3 mm, with a maximum edge cross-section of 55 x 20 mm.
The processing sequence begins with a joint milling unit driven by two 3 kW motors, which prepares the panel edge surface prior to gluing. Edge preheating is carried out using infrared technology. The gluing station comprises a glue unit with a glue roller, a gluing zone with one driven roller, and five non-driven pressure rollers to ensure consistent bond application and adhesion.
End trim units follow, fitted with two motors of 0.4 kW each and adjustable to angles between 0 and 25 degrees, allowing mitred or square trimming of the applied edge. Rough trimming is handled by a unit with two motors of 1.85 kW each. A form or copy milling aggregate with two motors is also included, enabling profile or flush trimming to match the workpiece geometry precisely.
Further finishing stations include an edge sanding aggregate for surface refinement, a radius scraping unit with pneumatic deployment control for clean corner finishing, a glue joint scraping unit to remove adhesive residue, and polishing brushes for a final surface finish. This combination of units reflects a machine configured for thorough, multi-stage edge processing from raw joint preparation through to polished output.
