    Default Applying flexible edge trim rubber moulding

    Hello All,

    I've got a question in relation to applying flexible rubber edge trim moulding on flat boards (eg, veneered or melamine). An example of the edge trim is here:



    The boards already have the groove routed for it to be pressed into the side. Typically we use a rubber mallet to bash the moulding in place, but this is cumbersome and takes a long time considering sometimes we may have a few hundred metres to do in a day. This moulding is applied on external and also internal corners and naturally continues along the straight lengths....


    Does anybody know of any quick way of applying this rubber moulding?

    Thanks,

    JK

    I am just guessing here why not have this moulding attached using some king of contact adhesive. Similar to the adhesive that you would use when adding a laminate.

    Or if it has to be pressed into a grove to keep it in place then what about using a hard rubber roller?

    I'm thinking a rubber pressure roller.

    Does the manufacturer of the edge trim have a system?

    No, the supplier is just a plastic extrusion company.

    The application is this:

    (from about the 15 second point in the video)

    Basically what I would like to source is the vibration/hammering device that is part of the machine, and we will configure ourselves. ie, is it a mchanical or pneumatic vibrator, and when can I source this type of component in Australia?

    The machine in the video appears/sounds pneumatic, and the cylinder appears to operate a lever with a fulcrum at one end and that large roller at the other. I suspect that the lever/roller assembly is lightly spring loaded toward the operator and also operates the control valve for the actuator when pushed away by the workpiece. There was a manufacturer and model in the description for the video, but I don't know that they would be distributed in OZ.

    I have seen handheld equivalents based on pneumatic chisels using a reasonably large mushroom head instead of a chisel, and figure that something similar could be cobbled up as a table mounted unit with a foot switch/valve controlling the unit.

    Christos, no glue required, the vertical of the T that is inserted has a number of ribs that taper to the base, so that it is easy to start the insertion but required a reasonable amount of force to drive in fully (hence mallet or mechanical device) and a lot more to extract it.
    I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.

    The machine in the video appears to be an Evans 1040.
    A google search seems to suggest that a similar machine is available, though perhaps a little pricey.

    looks the goods.

    this link suggests the tool's air demand is 85 l/min (or 3 cfm).
    Will pay to be sure that your compressor can keep up without running nearly continuously.
