Checking/Adjusting
Pressure Roller Unit
Adjusting Pressure Roller
The pressure roller unit consists of two rollers —
one fixed and one adjustable—that apply pressure
to the edgebanding against the workpiece imme-
diately after the glue is applied (see Figure 78).

pressure rollers
The fixed, non-adjustable roller applies constant
pressure to the edgebanding, while the adjust-
able roller is spring-loaded, allowing for pressure
adjustment.
The adjustable pressure roller is set at the factory
and should not require routine service. However,
if the pressure roller unit causes too much glue to
squeeze out during operations, or if you are get-
ting poor bonding results, you may need to adjust
the pressure roller.
Properly adjusting the pressure roller unit is
largely a matter of trial and error. Your results
may vary depending on the glue type, glue tem-
perature, workpiece thickness, and edgebanding
thickness. Always use a test piece to verify your
settings after adjusting the pressure roller unit.

Set infeed fence to "0" (refer to Page 35).
Align glue spindle to infeed fence (refer to
Page 36).
Unlock and open panel feeder.
Place straight "factory edge" of workpiece
against fence, press workpiece against glue
spindle, causing spindle to retract. Adjustable
pressure roller should keep workpiece
approximately 0.040" (1mm) away from fixed
pressure roller.
Push workpiece against adjustable pres-
sure roller, toward back of machine, until
workpiece contacts both pressure rollers and
entire fence along its length (see Figure 79).
Adjustable pressure roller is spring-loaded,
and will require moderate force to move.

— If Step 6 requires moderate force, pres-
sure roller unit is properly adjusted and no
further steps are necessary.
— If Step 6 requires excessive force, or if
workpiece does not contact adjustable
pressure roller at all, pressure roller unit is
not properly adjusted. Proceed to Step 7.
