This model impresses across the board.
Smaller size, same performance.
The space-saving F 4 measures just 4 metres long. However, it is ideal for producing fully machined edges. It comes optimally equipped, even in its standard version. It will surprise you with its jointing technology, corner processing and flat scraper. An optional radius scraper is available for finishing off edges. And there’s plenty more. The integrated interchangeable glue pot (colour change) even allows PUR processing. Set your sights on this diverse model!

The main features of the F 4
Pre-milling cutter (WhisperCut)
The WhisperCut jointing system with interchangeable diamond cutting points ensures maximum tool life (manual height adjustment) and tear-free milling results due to an oblique cut through the centre of the panel. Two ready-to-use cutter heads guarantee tear-free milling results, even for demanding materials and surfaces.
By simply swapping the diamond cutting points, this significantly reduces sharpening costs and downtime and no changes to the basic machine settings are required unlike with classic tools. The lightweight aluminium design protects the motors and enhances smooth operation.
The milling depth can be manually adjusted up to 2.0 mm so that you can work to the final dimensions when cutting.
Change over quick heating pot
- Ready for operation in just 3.5 minutes
- Standard interchangeable glue pots with stop function for rapid change of colour or technology (EVA/PUR)
- Tool-free change of glue pot
- Simplified cleaning of glue pot in a matter of minutes
- Teflon coating for effortless cleaning
Pressure zone
These 3 spring-loaded pressure rollers apply optimum pressure to the banded edges. Adhesive residue or dirt can be easily removed thanks to their coating.
Trim saw station
The stable design of the single-motor cross-cut saw with linear guides enables precise sawing of the front and rear workpieces. Simply choose the setting via the touchscreen display on the front of the machine.
Milling station
This combination milling unit allows you to choose between the different machining procedures: Radius / 10° chamfer and flush milling (combination version). The standard setting is conveniently selected via the display on the front of the machine.
The optional 3-point adjustment allows even more flexible processing for different requirements. Changes are instant and reduce downtime to a minimum.
Cleaning agent spraying unit
This spray system applies the cleaning agent to the top and bottom of the workpiece. By applying the cleaning agent, this removes both the separating agent already applied and any impurities or adhesive residue on the panel surface.
Surface scraper
Dynamically stored flat scraper ensures high production quality even for difficult materials. The wide contact surface precisely and gently scans the edge material to ensure consistent quality and removes adhesive residue and excess edges.
More Features
Release agent spraying unit
By applying the separating agent to the top and bottom of the workpiece, this prevents any excess adhesive residue from sticking to the workpiece Prior to edging, the spray system casts a fine layer of separating agent over the top and bottom of the workpiece edges. This prevents any excess adhesive from sticking to the workpiece. This option is recommended if regularly working with PUR adhesives.
Protection spraying unit
The lubricant is sprayed onto the edge surface via an additional fine nozzle to prevent damage to sensitive edges or the removal of film due to sensing rollers and sensing shoes.
Pneumatic 3-point adjustment
By upgrading the milling to 3-point adjustment, the radius, chamfer and flush milling (combination blade) can be selected via the display. As a result, protective covers remain closed and this minimises set-up time.
Corner rounding unit
Corner rounding optimally prepares you for any challenge when it comes to dealing with the front of the turning heads. Thanks to intelligent programming via the touchscreen display, individual sides and processing settings can be set.
Whether it’s the front and/or rear edge, radius or chamfer settings or choosing between an entire side or only the vertical edge, there are no limits here. The optional, interchangeable motor combined with our quick-change preliminary setup provides a rapid solution when dealing with different edge thicknesses.
Additional change motor for corner rounding
This AC motor optimally prepares your machine for ABS and thin edges.
Tools can be effortlessly changed and the finish improved. No manual reworking required (quick-change preliminary setup required).
Surface scraper
Dynamically stored flat scraper ensures high production quality even for difficult materials. The wide contact surface precisely and gently scans the edge material to ensure consistent quality and removes adhesive residue and excess edges.
Indoor LED illumination
Interior machine lighting for clear setup and maintenance of your machine.
Cleaning station
The two polishing discs free the upper and lower panel from excess sprays, adhesive residue and lighten in the event of edge stress whitening. 2 x 0.18 kW motors, individually adjustable for consistent cleaning results when using various processing technologies.
Wheels Visuell
The warp-resistant machine base unit allows precise working for years to come.
Whether mass production of small parts or half-size panels, we guarantee a consistent finish each time you work. A well-thought-out extraction system, which requires just one central connection point to your extraction system, allows mostly mobile use of your ALTENDORF edgebanding machine even in small workshops. All inlet and outlets are found on the machine so that it can be moved as needed using our optional trolley for space-consuming work.
Nesting for milling station and radius scraper
Allows working with tool sharpening and pinhole drilling with a milling unit and radius scraper. The settings can be easily changed via the display on the front of the machine. Scanning of the workpieces takes place underneath the panel.
