Veriset Küchen's Application of Laser Edgebanding
Innovation through
Rehau's LaserEdge
As
a leading Swiss kitchen furniture manufacturer, Veriset Küchen AG is committed
to continuous innovation and new ways of thinking about both design and
manufacturing. The company is known throughout Europe
for its ability to tailor materials, shapes and aesthetics to individual
customer requirements, while additionally delivering on a high level of overall
product quality.
In
early 2010, Veriset also became a pioneer as one of the first kitchen furniture
manufacturers to adopt laser-welded edgebanding into its manufacturing process,
using the REHAU
LaserEdge technology in combination with innovative LASERtec
machinery from Homag.
According
to Veriset, “Innovations are an important part of our strategy, and it is key
for us to stay on top of the latest trends in both design and production, as
well as constantly work to maintain the highest quality of our end products. We
quickly identified REHAU LaserEdge as an up and coming advancement that met all
of these goals, and thus sought to incorporate it as soon as we could.”
Veriset
has noted a number of immediate benefits from introducing laser-welded
edgebanding, including a substantial cost savings. “Naturally, without
need for adhesives we are seeing material cost savings, and in addition our
labor costs have been streamlined as we no longer need to negotiate steps to
integrate the edgeband material, primer and adhesive.”
“As
the optimum adhesive temperature no longer has to be set manually, we can
achieve an automatic process stability that ensures an even higher quality of
edgeband processing,” added Veriset production and logistics manager Josef
Baumgartner.
In
addition to an improved overall manufacturing process, Veriset attributes a new
level of product quality to the durable, jointless nature of the laser-welded
edge. “With a jointless weld between the edgeband and the board, we are no
longer concerned with the discoloration or staining that can happen at the seam
of a typical adhesive-affixed edgeband. This tighter seam also improves heat
and moisture resistance, preventing the boards of the finished furniture from
swelling over time. In addition, the space between the edgeband and board is
virtually without transition, and makes it appear as if the cabinetry and
furniture are constructed of one piece of material."
