3m Thermocouple Temperature Sensor For Woodworking Edgebander Parts Gluing Pot

How do you stop an edge bander glue pot from drifting off its set point? Read the glue where it actually sits. The M10*3m-KDT is the pot thermocouple for a woodworking edge banding machine: 0 °C to 400 °C working range, 3 m lead, U-shape terminal, metal and plastic body. Send the machine model and the old part number and the sensor is quoted against that combination, so the second order matches the first.

A glue pot that slips below its set point for a few minutes leaves an open glue line, and the band lifts at the ends of the panel. Three problems repeat: the sensor drifts for a shift before it fails outright, the replacement arrives with a lead too short for the cabinet run, and the terminal does not match the controller block.

The M10*3m-KDT is the thermocouple that reads the gluing pot on a woodworking edge banding machine. Published range is 0 °C to 400 °C, the wire length is 3 m, and the terminal is a U shape, so its two legs land under a screw clamp instead of needing a plug. The part number carries the fitting size and the lead length in one string.

A thermocouple reads at the joint, not in a remote box. The hot junction sits in the pot and the 3 m lead carries the millivolt signal back to the controller, which is the difference between holding the set point and re-tuning the pot every shift, because the reading comes from the glue itself.

Body material is metal and plastic, specified for high durability in a heated pot. The part is sold as an edge banding machine spare part, priced per order, and fits machines that take a pot thermocouple with an M10 fitting and a U-shape terminal.

A pot sensor is chosen by four things — range, lead, terminal, body material — plus the part number that carries them.

• Working range 0 °C to 400 °C — the sensor reads the band a hot-melt glue pot works in, cold start to full heat.
• 3 m lead wire — enough run to leave the pot, follow the cabinet wall and reach the controller in one piece.
• U-shape terminal — both legs slide under a screw clamp, the termination most edge bander controllers accept.
• Metal and plastic body — metal at the sensing section where the heat is, plastic where the lead exits.
• Part number M10*3m-KDT — fitting size and lead length sit in the number, so a reorder does not depend on a photo.
• High durability — specified for continuous service in a heated pot rather than occasional checking.
• Gluing pot application — made as an edge banding machine spare part for the pot, where glue temperature is decided.
• Electric sensing — a thermocouple generates its own millivolt signal at the hot junction, so there is no heater element in this part.
• Fits woodworking edge banding machines — installs wherever the pot sensor uses an M10 fitting and a U-shape terminal.
• Quoted per order — pricing is given against your machine and quantity, not one listed figure.

When a pot sensor goes down, the choice is an outside repair, a sensor picked from a photo, or one ordered by part number.

• You reorder by number. M10*3m-KDT covers the fitting and the 3 m lead in one string, so the second order matches the first.
• The lead length is settled. 3 m of wire means a short lead is not the reason a pot stays cold after a swap.
• Termination is decided before delivery. A U-shape clamp terminal lands on a screw block, so there is no adapter and no cut-and-crimp on site.
• Range with headroom. 0 °C to 400 °C runs from cold start to full heat, so the top of the scale is never the limit.
• Material where the heat is. Metal at the sensing end and plastic on the body keep the lead exit cool enough to route by hand.
• It reads the glue, not the cabinet. The junction sits in the pot, so the controller sees glue temperature rather than the air around it.
• One shelf of spares. Edge banding parts, CNC vacuum cups and brand-specific spares come from the same supplier list.
• A quote that matches the machine. Send the machine model plus the old part number and the price comes back against that combination, not against a generic one.

It fits if your old sensor uses an M10 fitting, a U-shape terminal and a lead run near 3 m. Check those three points against the part you are removing: the fitting has to enter the pot, the terminal has to clamp on the controller block, and the lead has to reach it without a splice.

0 °C to 400 °C. That covers cold start through the full heat of a hot-melt pot, so the top of the scale is not the limit during normal glue work.

3 m, the length printed in the part number M10*3m-KDT. The parameter sheet also lists "3mm", which is the same figure with the unit mistyped; measure the old lead before ordering so the run stays a single piece.

A U-shape terminal. Both legs slide under a screw clamp, so it lands on the controller block without a plug adapter or a crimping tool.

It is a sensor. A thermocouple makes its own millivolt signal at the hot junction, so nothing in this part heats; its job is to report pot temperature to the controller.

Metal and plastic. The metal section sits where the pot heat is, and the plastic body carries the lead exit, which is why the part is listed for high durability in a heated pot.

In the gluing pot of a woodworking edge banding machine. That is the point where glue temperature is decided, so a sensor reading anywhere else reports the cabinet, not the glue.

Ask for a quotation. Pricing is quoted per order against your machine model, the part number M10*3m-KDT and the quantity, so send those three and the answer comes back as a figure rather than a range.
