Ott Edgebanders

FlexEdge

The newest Ott — a 7-meter frame ready for automation.

The FlexEdge is Ott's newest edgebander, and the first model in the lineup with TransStart automated infeed compatibility. A 7-meter frame accommodates a comprehensive option set without the footprint of larger models, and the TransStart-ready design means shops can start with manual operation and add automated panel handling later.

Overview

The Ott Built for the Automation Path

The FlexEdge is the newest member of the Ott lineup and the first model in the family designed with the TransStart automated infeed system in mind. A 7-meter frame fits more comfortably on shop floors than the larger Storm Plus, StrongEdge, and TopEdge — but with the same TransStart compatibility that lets you add automated panel handling whenever you're ready.

For shops planning a phased move into automation, FlexEdge offers a meaningful advantage: start with the edgebander as a manual operation, build production volume and operator familiarity, then add TransStart and a return system later without changing machines. The path forward is built into the frame.

Like every Ott edgebander, the FlexEdge ships PUR-ready with the patented top-driven Combimelt glue system, servo-controlled workstations including the radius and flat glue scrapers, and invisible-glue-joint quality. Configuration options accommodate cabinet manufacturers, furniture producers, and architectural millwork shops with growing production needs.

The FlexEdge is Right For You If…

  • You're planning automation in the future and want a machine that supports it without a forklift upgrade later
  • You want a 7-meter frame that fits comfortably without sacrificing the Ott option set
  • You're growing your production but aren't ready to commit to Storm or larger frames
  • Your edge thickness needs stay within 0.3 to 15 mm and panel thickness up to 60 mm
  • You want the newest engineering in the Ott edgebander lineup
