The SCM Selecta 12 edgebander is a high quality woodworking machine, particularly suitable for companies operating in the furniture and furnishings sector. Built towards the end of the 90s, it presents itself as a robust and reliable model, ideal for those looking for a used machine that can still guarantee excellent performance.

Description and technical characteristics

The SCM Selecta 12 edgebander has a compact but solid design, typical of woodworking machines produced by SCM, a company renowned for the quality of its machinery. This edgebander is designed to apply edges to panels of various thicknesses, providing high precision and an excellent finish, thanks to a series of advanced technologies integrated into the machinery.

One of the main advantages of the SCM Selecta 12 is the ability to work with edges of different thicknesses, making it very versatile. The Selecta 12 model can apply wooden, PVC and ABS edges, guaranteeing a quality finish even on the most difficult materials. It can process edges of variable thicknesses, which can reach up to 3 mm , and the panel can have a maximum thickness of 60 mm . The width of the edging can be adjusted, allowing adaptation to various types of processes.

Components and methods of use

This edgebander consists of various operating groups that work in sequence to provide precise and uniform edgebanding. The main groups are:

1. Gluing unit : the glue is applied precisely and uniformly, ensuring optimal edge adhesion.
2. Pressure group : to make the edge adhere perfectly to the panel, ensuring that no bubbles or voids form.
3. Cutting unit : equipped with circular blades, this unit cuts the excess edge cleanly and precisely.
4. Trimming and shaping group : finishes the edges, shaping corners and corners according to the customer's needs.

The use of the SCM Selecta 12 edgebander is quite simple: the operator places the panel on the guide, sets the desired parameters via the control panel and starts the machine. The panel is automatically moved along the processing line, where each operating group carries out its function. The process is highly automated, minimizing manual intervention and increasing productivity.

Matching accessories

Among the accessories that can be added to the SCM Selecta 12 are:

• Chip extraction systems to keep the working environment clean and guarantee constant processing quality.
• Automatic lubrication kit to ensure optimal maintenance of moving parts, reducing wear on components.
• Conversion kit for thin or very thick edges , which further increases the versatility of the machine.

Formulas and parameters for optimal use

To calculate the glue consumption necessary for a processing cycle, you can use the following formula:
Quantity of glue (grams)=Length of the edge (mm)×Thickness of the edge (mm)×0.03\text{Quantity of glue (grams )} = \text{Length of the edge (mm)} \times \text{Thickness of the edge (mm)} \times 0.03 $\text{Quantity}$ $\text{ˋ}$ $\text{glue}$ $\text{(grams)}$ $=$ $\text{Length of the edge (mm)}$ $\times$ $\text{Thickness of the edge (mm)}$ $\times$ $0.03$

This parameter allows you to optimize the use of glue, reducing waste and ensuring uniform application.

Maintenance

Being a used machine, the SCM Selecta 12 edgebander requires periodic maintenance to maintain high levels of efficiency. It is essential to regularly clean the pressure rollers and the gluing system to avoid accumulations of glue that could compromise operation. A periodic check of the cutting and trimming blades is equally important to ensure that they always maintain a clean and precise cut.

Safety regulations

If the SCM Selecta 12 is not already CE certified, it is possible to adapt it to current regulations by installing additional safety devices such as mechanical protections and emergency sensors. These measures guarantee a safe working environment that complies with current regulations.

How to evaluate a good used one

To understand if the SCM Selecta 12 edgebander is a good deal, it is important to check the condition of the main components, such as the gluing unit and the pressure rollers. The condition of the knives and trimming blades is also indicative of the general condition of the machine. Furthermore, it is useful to ask the seller for a detailed report on the maintenance carried out over time.

Sectors of use

The SCM Selecta 12 is particularly suitable for companies that operate in the production of furniture, kitchens and custom-made furnishings. It is ideal for edging veneered or laminate-covered panels, but it is also capable of processing edges in plastic and other synthetic materials.

Why buy used

Purchasing a used SCM Selecta 12 edgebander represents an excellent opportunity to obtain a quality machine at a much lower price than a new one. SCM is synonymous with reliability, and thanks to the robustness of this machine, even a used model can continue to work efficiently for many years.
