Cefla Finishing Group at Ligna

“Our goal,” says Alberto Maestri Sales Manager of Cefla Finishing Group “is to be close to our customers, especially in this very difficult macro-economic situation widespread in the world. We strongly believe that only through a continuous innovation of processes and products, we can be a unique partner able to offer a complete package of customized solutions, designed and tailored to the real needs of our customers. All this without forgetting the soundness and financial stability Cefla can boast. So one partner, proactive and, above all, reliable “.

At Ligna, the Cefla Finishing Group will present a lot of new products. Some of these are significant technological evolutions, others are a range widening born from the desire to offer the customer a process solution at 360 degrees, others represent real innovations: all, however, have been designed and developed focusing attention on costs, to give a concrete support to the business of our customers.

After more than 20 years from the invention of the recovery system manufactured for the spraying machines, at Ligna Cefla Finishing will present the new “Easy”sprayer.

It is a fully redesigned machine with enhanced performance to continue to be the benchmark for the market.

Cefla Finishing has always been a pioneer in the study of Uv technologies and brought to market, since the 70s, major technical and technological innovations.

Today, a new era is beginning for Uv curing, that is the era of Uv-R Led.

Cefla Finishing has developed a new product for this application by adopting the most advanced technology available today. A fully Led or the Hybrid version are available to suit every working need. The Led is a source of very cold Uv light that has big advantages for those substrates (such as pine) that are sensitive to temperature. The new Uv-R Led also enables a rapid switching off and ignition for maximum saving of electric power.

Cefla Finishing is the only player in the world which can offer the most suitable solution for every need that the companies can have, focused on their specific requirements. For this reason at Ligna, in addition to Uv-R Led, Cefla Finishing will present the”Uv-R Superfocus”(patented system), the Uv oven ideal for spray lines having width of 1300 mm which, with a single lamp, allows to cure the pieces on all sides, both with clear and pigmented coats. This system reduces by half the required electrical power and the heat on the workpiece, in addition, obviously, to be a more compact solution.

“Prima” – It’s a no brainer! The first step to automation

The automatic spraying machine “Prima”is the natural choice for anyone who wants to improve the efficiency and quality of manual coating operations and at the same time to dramatically reduce operating costs.

 

The robot “iBotic” is the ultimate expression of panel spraying technology; it ensures the highest quality finishing even when processing shapes and edges of particular complexity. The advanced mechanics allow to achieve a speed of the linear axes up to 130 m/min. The two arms are independent of each other and can move individually or simultaneously, allowing the product change in hidden times (while one arm is working the other is at rest and can be washed and fed with a different product); if fed by the same product, they can work on the same loading charge thus contributing to a reduction of the spraying time; alternatively, by placing the 2 arms at the ends of the machine it is possible to spray in “spraying machine” mode.

This important innovation allows customization of products with unlimited ideas and imagination from the designers. The development of technologies for finishing and decoration of furniture, as well as the necessity of the modern companies to propose a tailored product to individual customers, involves the increasing need to finish and decorate all kinds of surfaces.

Ideal for high definition printing and large format. The multipass solution enables to process extremely large sizes, even in case of raised cabinet doors, without compromising the quality and the resolution.

Ideal for high-speed printing and productivity. The single-pass solution helps to meet productivity requirements, sometimes very high, while maintaining the necessary flexibility to easily manage extremely small lots.

Delle Vedove will exhibit two widely tested technologies for the entry level market and for the selective protection of the profiles. They will be exhibiting a “Flexispray”spraying machine, followed by “Talent”, a vacuum system for coating only the visible parts, which guarantees a great saving of coating product.

Düspohl presents its latest “RoboWrap”development at this year’s Ligna. This profile wrapping machine, with its completely automatic set-up, already produced on customer order, represents Düspohl‘s new flagship. “RoboWrap”meets the producer requirements in terms of shorter set-up times with simultaneously smaller lot sizes and reduces these times to only two minutes by employing both modern and tested robot technology.

The necessary input is extremely simple, and is logged by the control software and implemented using an automated process. Three chain bins within robot gripping distance store up to several hundred pressure rollers of varying geometries. A 2D laser scanner measures the individual rollers in a fraction of a second at each pass and stores data on the diameter, contour and position.

“RoboWrap”puts every other conventional solution in the shade, when the total of 19 six-axis robots independently access the optimum pressure rollers and position them on the profile with a repetition accuracy of only 0.03 mm.

This new machine concept comprises automatic positioning systems for all format-dependent machine assemblies, beginning with charging and carrying on to protective film application.

Intelligent systems such as the Fhs film heating system with contactless temperature monitoring, the film unwinder’s diameter-dependent brake force control, the nozzle positioning system and, last but not least, the contactless “PrimeStar”primer application method with quick-change application heads, round off “RoboWrap” and make it the world’s first profile wrapping machine with completely automatic set-up.

In addition, Düspohl also present the “AutoCut”film slitting machine – equipped with automatic slitter positioning, it slits a wide variety of papers and films and produces perfect, ultra-tight winding results.

The “EasyWrap” wrapping machine, whether starting out or long-standing professional, the intelligent concept convinces thanks to its extremely good ratio of investment volume to functionality.

“iGiotto”is an innovative system for automatic spraying of small and medium lots of windows, which integrates an anthropomorphous robot assuring extremely high performance and reliability, with the best detection technologies and spraying techniques which are adopted for very large Cartesian sizes proper to the windows (including height up to 3000 mm).

A spray tool combining the action of two guns, that can also be activated at the same time, ensures the best application of high-performance water-based coatings in high quantities, proper to the windows sector.

Inert coating technology by Sorbini, a revolutionary process

The Inert Coating Technology (patented) allows to prepare in a perfect way the sealer on the panels of any kind (Mdf, Hdf, raw chipboard, honeycomb, and more) with considerable savings in terms of occupied area, of electric power, CO2 emitted, and, especially, of coating product. All this results in a lower environmental impact by approximately 75 percent compared to the traditional lines.

At Ligna Cefla Finishing Groupis going to present the complete process that will show in a single pass, what can happen at the customers.

“Smartedge”– The evolution of filling, coating and printing of the edge continues.

This innovative process widely tested by various customers around the world, allows to fill with ease and flexibility chipboard or Mdf edges in a very reduced space, thus obtaining a surface of mechanical resistance stronger than by any other system on the market today.

At Ligna Sorbini will present a machine on operation for processing the edge: for both pigmented cycle by vacuum coater on Mdf edges, and for filling of the chipboard edge integrated with the Inert Coating Technology process.

“Smartparquet” – Extremely easy to use

Ideal for the application of natural oils, oils and Uv coating products, urethane oils and traditional waxes as well as stains and pigmented products.
