Sky Fire Laser proudly announces the innovative transformation of a Homag EDGETEC S-500 ProfiLine edge banding machines into cutting-edge laser systems.
At Wuhan Qi Li Technology Co., Ltd. (Sky Fire Laser), we are dedicated to leading the forefront of laser technology applications. Specializing in laser upgrades, repairs, training, and innovative integrations, our company continually pushes the boundaries to deliver high-tech, efficient solutions to the industry.
Transforming Homag Edge Banding Machines
One of our most recent achievements is the transformation of traditional Homag edge banding machines into state-of-the-art laser edge banding systems. The modifications we implemented on the EDGETEC S-500 ProfiLine models include:
Conversion of the Glue Pot
The traditional glue pot has been replaced with a sophisticated laser electrical cabinet. This cabinet houses a high-performance fiber laser and a cooling chiller, laying the groundwork for advanced edge banding capabilities.

Addition of a Laser Scanning Head
To advance beyond conventional adhesive techniques, we installed a laser scanning head that utilizes laser thermofusion. This innovative approach not only boosts the efficiency and quality of edge banding but also significantly reduces the environmental footprint associated with adhesive use.

System Upgrade with Touchscreen Interface
We have enhanced the original Homag system by integrating a new laser edge banding software and a user-friendly touchscreen interface. This upgrade offers dual functionality:
-
For cost-sensitive projects, the traditional edge banding method remains available.
-
For projects requiring higher quality and precision, the laser edge banding option can be selected.

Advantages of Laser Edge Banding
zThe integration of laser technology into edge banding not only reflects our commitment to innovation but also provides numerous benefits:
Increased Efficiency and Precision
Laser edge banding is significantly more precise than traditional methods, ensuring flawless finishes.
Enhanced Durability
The bonds formed by laser thermofusion are stronger and more durable.
Reduced Waste and Environmental Impact
By eliminating the use of adhesives, laser edge banding reduces waste and minimizes the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Conclusion
Sky Fire Laser is proud to be at the vanguard of integrating laser technology into woodworking equipment. These advancements in the EDGETEC S-500 ProfiLine edge banding machines not only enhance operational efficiency and product quality but also align with global efforts towards sustainability. As we continue to innovate and expand our services, we remain dedicated to providing our clients with the best in laser technology solutions, training, and support.
