Straight, Concave & Convex Workpieces
Designed to process straight panels as well as shaped components with concave and convex profiles.
The Vitap Giotto is a semi-automatic edgebanding and trimming machine designed for straight and shaped workpieces, including concave and convex profiles, open parts and closed pieces.
The Vitap Giotto combines edgebanding and trimming in one intelligent semi-automatic machine. Its universal trimming system is designed to process straight and shaped workpieces, including both large and small components with concave or convex profiles.
Giotto was developed for manufacturers that need to handle different production requirements from one day to the next without sacrificing finish quality or repeatability. Its combination of flexibility, precision and compact footprint makes it a practical alternative for workshops that need shaped-panel edgebanding without moving to a CNC machining centre with an integrated edgebanding unit.
The Giotto is not simply a straight-line edgebander in a smaller format. It is designed specifically to give workshops greater flexibility when working with shaped components and mixed production.
Designed to process straight panels as well as shaped components with concave and convex profiles.
Handles both open and closed workpieces, giving manufacturers more flexibility across changing job requirements.
Combines semi-automatic edgebanding with a universal trimming unit in one compact machine.
A lower-investment option for businesses that need shaped-panel capability without stepping up to a full CNC machining centre with edgebanding.
The Giotto is built for businesses that regularly switch between different panel shapes, sizes and production requirements. It brings semi-automatic control to jobs that can otherwise require more manual handling or a substantially larger CNC investment.
Winner of the prestigious AWFS Visionary New Machine Award in Las Vegas in 2013, Giotto was recognised as an innovative solution for combining flexibility and precision when edgebanding both open and closed workpieces.

Giotto combines programmable controls, panel support and maintenance-focused features to make shaped-panel edging more practical for day-to-day production.
The Giotto is particularly relevant to manufacturers that cannot justify dedicating a large CNC cell to occasional shaped-panel work but still need reliable, repeatable finish quality when curved and non-standard pieces enter production.
Giotto is designed for companies that face different production requirements every day and need one machine to cover a broad mix of shaped-panel work.
For these businesses, the combination of semi-automatic operation, trimming capability and programmable controls can provide a useful middle ground between manual curved edgebanding and a full CNC machining centre with integrated edgebanding.

Answers to common questions about the Vitap Giotto, shaped-panel edgebanding and how the machine fits into a woodworking production workflow.
The Vitap Giotto is a semi-automatic edgebanding and trimming machine designed for straight and shaped workpieces. It can process concave and convex profiles, as well as open and closed pieces, making it useful for manufacturers with varied shaped-panel requirements.
Yes. The Giotto is designed for straight and shaped workpieces, including concave and convex profiles. This gives workshops one machine for a broader mix of standard and non-standard panel edging work.
Yes. Giotto combines semi-automatic edgebanding with a universal trimming unit, allowing both processes to be completed within the same machine.
Yes. The Giotto is designed to edge both open and closed workpieces. Its HD laser measuring system supports accurate processing of closed parts.
The Giotto can be a practical alternative for workshops that need reliable shaped-panel edgebanding and trimming but do not require the investment, floor space or broader capabilities of a full CNC machining centre with an integrated edgebanding unit.
The Giotto's guillotine capacity is 3 mm × 45 mm. The supported external radius varies with edge tape thickness, including 30 mm with 1 mm tape, 50 mm with 2 mm tape and 80 mm with 3 mm tape.
The listed panel range is from 50 × 200 mm up to 1,000 × 2,000 mm, with panel heights from 10 to 60 mm.
Yes. The Vitap Giotto won the AWFS Visionary New Machine Award in Las Vegas in 2013.
