Top 5 Causes of High-Gloss Panel Scratches in Edge Banding and How to Eliminate Them

The High Cost of Scratch Rejects

In custom cabinet production, high-gloss PET and acrylic doors carry high material value. A single scratch during handling or turning requires complete board scrapping.

Root Causes of Handling Scratches

1. Dust particles on mechanical transfer tables: Metal-to-surface friction grinding dust into lacquer.
2. Hard mechanical turnover clamps: Pinching board faces during 180° flips.
3. Rough rubber rollers without zinc plating.

Engineered Solutions

• Air-Cushion Flotation: Pressurized air holes create a 0.5mm pneumatic air layer, suspending the panel with zero direct table friction.
• Vacuum Suction Flippers: Rubber suction cups grip panels exclusively by pneumatic vacuum rather than clamping pressure.
