Olimpic 500 Plus

The Olimpic 500 Plus is a single-sided automatic edge banding machine manufactured by SCM Group, designed to apply edge trim to panel edges during woodworking production. The machine automates the edge banding process, enabling consistent, high-quality edge coverage across diverse panel geometries and material types in a continuous production workflow.

Operating at feed speeds between 12–18 m/min, the Olimpic 500 Plus accommodates edge material thicknesses from 0.3 to 8 mm (expandable to 12 mm with configuration), while processing panels ranging from 8 to 60 mm in thickness. The machine requires a minimum panel width of 60 mm and operates on compressed air at 6 bar, making it compatible with standard workshop infrastructure. These parameters enable precise edge application across both solid wood and engineered panel stock without frequent machine reconfiguration.

The Olimpic 500 Plus serves medium to industrial woodworking operations focused on volume production of edge-banded components. It is particularly suited for manufacturers producing kitchen cabinetry, furniture panels, and architectural millwork where consistent edge quality, repeatability, and throughput are critical. The machine's single-sided configuration makes it ideal for operations where one-sided edge banding meets production requirements, reducing capital investment while maintaining precision.

Within the single-sided automatic edge banding category, the Olimpic 500 Plus delivers competitive feed speeds and material flexibility. Its ability to process thick edge materials (up to 8–12 mm) combined with modest panel thickness handling (8–60 mm) positions it for mid-volume production environments where quality and speed balance cost-effectiveness.
