How to Adjust the Tension of Edge Banding269

As a Chinese furniture edge banding strip factory, we often receive inquiries about how to adjust the tension of edge banding. Edge banding is a thin strip of material applied to the exposed edges of substrates to provide a finished look. It is essential to ensure that the tension of the edge banding is correct in order to achieve a high-quality finish.

The tension of the edge banding should be adjusted according to the type of material being used and the desired finish. If the tension is too tight, the edge banding may buckle and peel away from the substrate. If the tension is too loose, the edge banding may not adhere properly and may come loose over time.

There are two main ways to adjust the tension of edge banding: mechanically and manually.

Mechanical adjustment is typically done using a machine called an edge bander. Edge banders are designed to apply edge banding to substrates automatically. The tension of the edge banding is adjusted by setting the tension on the machine.

Manual adjustment can be done by hand. To manually adjust the tension of edge banding, follow these steps:1. Apply the edge banding to the substrate.
2. Use a sharp knife or razor blade to trim the excess edge banding.
3. Use a heat gun or iron to melt the adhesive on the edge banding.
4. Press the edge banding firmly into place.
5. Use a roller or burnishing tool to smooth out the edge banding.

Once the edge banding has been applied, you can check the tension by gently pulling on it. The edge banding should be taut, but not too tight. If the edge banding is too tight, you can use a heat gun or iron to loosen the adhesive and then press it back into place.

By following these tips, you can ensure that the tension of your edge banding is correct, resulting in a high-quality finish that will last for years to come.
