Overview

The Olimpic 500 is a single-sided automatic edge bander engineered for small-to-medium woodworking enterprises requiring reliable, repeatable edge application across diverse panel formats. It automates the edge banding process—applying pre-glued edging material to panel perimeters—eliminating manual operations while maintaining consistent quality and reducing labor costs in high-volume job-shop environments. The machine accommodates edge thickness from 0.3 to 6 mm and panel thickness from 8 to 60 mm, enabling versatility across veneered panels, MDF, plywood, and solid wood applications. Operating at a feed speed of 12 m/min, it delivers throughput suitable for medium-batch production without sacrificing edge quality. The adjustable specifications allow operators to configure the machine for varying material combinations within a single production run, minimizing setup time between jobs. A minimum panel width of 60 mm ensures the machine handles both narrow strips and full-format panels typical in cabinet and furniture manufacturing. The Olimpic 500 targets woodworking workshops with 5-30 employees producing 100-500+ panels daily. It suits operations fabricating case goods, kitchen cabinetry, built-in furniture, and modular components where consistent edge finish directly impacts product quality and customer perception. The machine's single-sided configuration positions it as an entry point to automated edge banding, offering substantial productivity gains over manual application while remaining cost-accessible compared to multi-functional or dual-sided systems. Within its class, the Olimpic 500 balances ease-of-use with technical capability. It requires only standard compressed air supply (6 bar), simplifying installation in existing workshop infrastructure. Its adjustable architecture—rather than fixed specifications—addresses the reality of SME production: the need to process varied panel dimensions and edge materials in short to medium runs, a flexibility that higher-speed industrial edge banders often sacrifice.

Applications
cabinet making
Medium workshop
Custom and semi-custom cabinet shops apply edge banding to case sides, shelving, and component panels (typically 8-40 mm thick, 60+ mm wide) using pre-glued edge materials from 0.3-2 mm. The Olimpic 500's 12 m/min feed speed processes typical 50-100 panel runs per shift, delivering factory-finished edges that eliminate visible plywood/MDF edges and improve perceived quality and durability.
furniture production
Medium workshop
Furniture manufacturers producing modular systems, desks, shelving, and case goods edge all exposed panel edges—a primary cost and quality factor in mid-volume production. At 12 m/min throughput, the Olimpic 500 handles 200-400 linear meters of edge per shift, allowing small production teams to scale output without proportional labor increase while maintaining consistent veneer or solid wood edge appearance.
custom millwork
Small workshop
Architectural millwork and bespoke furniture shops process small-to-medium batches of specialty panels—from veneered MDF to solid wood components up to 60 mm thick—requiring edge banding in matching veneers or edge materials. The machine's adjustable specifications accommodate job-shop variability (different thicknesses, edge materials, widths in a single day) without complex reconfiguration, making it practical for 5-15 employee shops handling 20-50 unique jobs monthly.
panel processing
Medium workshop
Panel service centers and distributors edge-band sheets and cut components for downstream customers—processing panels 8-60 mm thick with edges 0.3-6 mm—as a value-added service. The 12 m/min speed and 60 mm minimum width capability enable efficient processing of factory-standard panels and customer-specific cut parts, improving turnover and margin on volume-based orders.
