2025 - Vitap Giotto Edge Bander

About this machine

The Vitap Giotto is a used edge bander — sometimes called an edge banding machine — a type of woodworking equipment used to apply and trim edge material to the exposed sides of panels, boards, and shaped components. Vitap is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the woodworking machinery sector, producing equipment primarily for cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers, and joinery workshops. This particular machine was manufactured in 2025 and is currently located in Germany.

Unlike a straight-line edge bander, the Giotto is a semi-automatic contour edge bander designed to work not only on straight panels but also on shaped, concave, and convex workpieces. It accommodates circular panels with a diameter range of 300 mm to 2,700 mm, panels with inner radii of at least 250 mm, and panels with outer radii from 30 mm to 80 mm depending on edge thickness. Panel thickness ranges from 10 mm to 60 mm, and edge band material up to 3 mm thick can be processed.

The gluing system centres on a Teflon-coated glue pot with a 1 kg capacity, an integrated glue application roller, and a quick-change device. It also accepts PUR glue via a glue feeder fitted with a sensor and a Teflon-coated gluing station. Both glue application quantity and glue temperature are adjustable. An automatic roll cutting device handles coil materials up to a maximum cross-section of 3 × 45 mm.

The machine offers three operating modes: input by length, input by length combined with laser recognition, and operation by foot pedal. Laser measurement enables straightforward length recognition of closed parts without the need for separate measurement, and both the laser and foot pedal can be used to reduce feed speed when navigating radii or complex workpiece profiles.

The flush milling station is equipped with two motors, each rated at 0.55 kW and running at 12,000 rpm, fitted with tools at R=2. An edging and milling kit for internal radii of 15 mm (R=2) is included. The machine features a reinforced, swiveling arm for workpiece support with integrated vacuum, two guide rollers for contoured workpieces, one swiveling feed and pressure unit, a wider feeding roller for improved adherence, and an additional lower roller. An elevatable support table is provided for handling small parts during manual gluing and flush milling, and a rectangular work plan facilitates the processing of large panels. The integrated flush milling capability at the joint gluing stage is designed to reduce handling steps, and the layout allows a single operator to work in pendulum fashion alongside a CNC centre without a separate gluing unit.
