Our Bander, a Cehisa ep9 has been giving us some trouble lately with wood veneer adhesion on 3/4" MDF panels. We can run miles of 1mm pvc with no adhesion problems, but the wood veneer tape has been inconsistent and a lot of loose strips. Any advise? Harold.

We had an EP9 as well and we could never get laminate strips to stick. We could run tons of .5 and 1mm, even 3mm and have no issues. Look into your heat setting and the glue you are using. I was continually being told it was my glue but with the same glue in my Brandt everything sticks.
BTW do you want to buy an EP9 for parts?

Found the problem. One of my guys moved the large pressure roller back and not enough pressure on thinner banding. There is a large sign on the machine now to remind everyone. our bander has PLC control, so the touchscreen will automatically move the cutter knives from stright to radius and scraper is also automatic. The pressure roller is not controlled by this and must be dialed in for different thickness banding.
