Aluminum Roller Track Flow Rack for Edgebanding Machines

The ART-PR is an aluminum roller track flow rack that carries panels into and out of an edgebanding machine. The frame is aluminum profile; the rollers are yellow plastic for low-friction guidance and orange rubber for non-slip grip, both on the same track. Length, roller spacing and frame structure are made to your drawing or sample, and rollers can be supplied in PU, rubber or plastic. It sits at the infeed or outfeed of edgebanders, panel saws and CNC routers, handling MDF, particleboard, plywood, acrylic and solid wood. Packed in plywood boxes and shipped by sea.

A 2800 mm panel leaving an edgebander has to be held level at the tail, or the trailing end drops and scuffs the edge just banded. A fixed-length support track then brings the second problem: too long or too short for the machine bed, so the panel steps down as it leaves. The ART-PR is built around that.

It is a flow rack: an aluminum profile frame carrying a run of rollers the panel rolls across instead of sliding over a bare bed. Its difference from a plain roller stand is the mixed roller run. Yellow plastic rollers give low-friction guidance where the panel only has to travel; orange rubber rollers give non-slip grip where it has to hold its line.

It is positioned at the infeed or outfeed of an edgebander, panel saw or CNC router — 3 host machines and 2 mounting positions per machine. It carries MDF, particleboard, plywood, acrylic and solid wood: 5 substrates with very different surface behaviour.

Everything that decides fit is made to order. Length is customized, roller spacing is customized, and the frame follows your drawing or sample; rollers are supplied in PU, rubber or plastic. It leaves packed in a plywood box, shipped by sea as advised.

What the aluminum frame and the two roller compounds do:

• Aluminum profile frame — aluminum alloy base, so a long section carries its own weight down and needs no rust protection or repainting.
• Yellow plastic rollers — low-friction guidance, so the panel travels with minimal noise and reduced surface wear instead of scuffing a bare frame.
• Orange rubber rollers — non-slip grip on the panel face where it has to hold a line rather than simply be pushed forward.
• 2 compounds, 1 track — plastic and rubber share one aluminum profile, so the handling mode is set by which roller the panel meets, not by a second rack.
• 2 positions, 3 machines — infeed or outfeed of an edgebander, panel saw or CNC router, whichever end needs support.
• 5 panel substrates — MDF, particleboard, plywood, acrylic and solid wood run over the same roller set.
• Customized length — cut to the figure you measure in millimetres, so there is no gap at the machine bed.
• Adjustable spacing — roller spacing and frame structure follow your drawing or sample, which keeps the base stable under large panels.
• 3 roller materials — PU, rubber or plastic, chosen per run rather than fixed at purchase.
• Modular assembly — sections bolt together, so the rack extends later without machining the frame.

A roller rack normally settles a choice between paying an operator to stand at the outfeed and buying a support that only half fits the line. This one is ordered to the line instead:

• Nobody holds the panel tail. A panel supported across its full length leaves the bed level, so the operator loads the next board instead of holding the last 2800 mm of this one.
• The banded edge survives the outfeed. Rubber rollers carry the finished face and plastic rollers carry the run, so the edge is not dragged across a bare frame on its way out.
• One rack, two handling modes. Plastic for travel and rubber for grip on one track means one purchase instead of two support systems, and one footprint on the floor instead of two.
• Length stops being a compromise. A customized length meets the machine bed at your measured figure, so panels do not step up or down as they transfer.
• Ordered from a drawing. Spacing, frame structure and roller material follow your drawing or sample, which is how the same rack works at an edgebander, a panel saw or a CNC router.
• Extends when the line does. The modular aluminum frame assembles from sections, so a second machine is served by adding length rather than replacing the rack.

Yes, provided the length is given when you order. Length is customized, so the rack is made to your measured figure rather than a stock size; send the machine model and that length and the fit is checked first.

Measure from where the panel leaves the machine bed to where you want it to stop. Give the figure in millimetres, plus whether it goes at the infeed or the outfeed, since that decides where the base sits.

Both, in most installations. Yellow plastic is for low-friction guidance where the panel only travels; orange rubber is for non-slip grip where it has to hold a line. They share one profile, so the mix is set per run.

Yes. The rack is applied at woodworking edgebanding machines, and the same design serves the infeed or outfeed of panel saws and CNC routers; only the length and roller spacing change.

Five: MDF, particleboard, plywood, acrylic and solid wood. They behave very differently on a roller, which is why the track carries both a low-friction plastic roller and a gripping rubber one.

No single figure applies, because the frame and roller spacing are built to your length and drawing. Send the panel size, its weight and the length required, and the frame is specified against that load.

Yes. Rollers are available in PU, rubber or plastic. The colours listed for this rack are yellow for the plastic roller and orange for the rubber roller.

In a plywood box, shipped by sea as advised. The aluminum frame assembles from flat sections, so packing stays compact for its length and it goes back together with bolts.
