The Olimpic 500 by SCM is a complete and versatile automatic edgebander designed for SMEs to perform different machining operations. It offers flexible edgebanding solutions for single-sided automatic edge banding.
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.
