1) Medium to large sizes of steel plates can be prepared for welding, by means of edge grooving in these 2 sets of Edge Milling Grooving Machine;
2) Wider range of milling angle in better precision is available for machining completion in the Edge Milling Machine;
3) Heavier cut and more precise intuitive milling are available from each working stroke of cutting, from such heavy duty Large Plate Edge Milling Beveling Machine.
B. Technical Specialties of the 2 sets of Large Plate Edge Milling Beveling Machine:
1. Milling Angle Precision and its Management in the Large Plate Edge Milling Machine:
1) Input of expected milling angle is by means of HMI (Human machine interface) touch screen keying in;
The HMI Touch Screen in SXBJ-12 High Precision Large Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.3)
2) Revolving of milling head is driven with A.C. inverter motor, and protected with proximity switches as well as limit switches;
3) Real time actual angular position of milling head during working of the Edge Milling Grooving Machine is detected with encoder, and displayed in HMI touch screen in digital form, together with indicated on the angle ruler of the milling head;
2. Feeding of Milling Head for Cutting Depth Control in the 2 sets of Large Plate Edge Milling Beveling Machine:
1) In ordinary Edge Milling Machine, this step is made by manually turning hand wheel, and checked with visual inspection by operator of the Edge Milling Equipment;
2) In these 2 sets of High Precision Edge Milling Equipment,
a) The feeding forward of milling head is driven with manual worm reducer;
b) With its displacement controlled and shown with counter;
c) In this way, heavy cutting depth with high precision can be got in such Edge Milling Grooving Machine;
d) Such configuration is featured ability of Wuxi JACK XBJ Series Edge Milling Machine;
e) The worm gear and counter for driving and controlling milling head feeding stroke, in the Large Plate Edge Milling Equipment (Fig.4):
3. Convenient Operation for Fulfilling Powerful Edge Milling Operation in the Wuxi JACK Large Plate Edge Milling Grooving Machine:
1) The Milling Angle Scope in Conventional Sheet Metal Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:
a) Is 0° to +45° for carrying out straight and upper edge grooving;
b) And -45° to +0° for carrying out bottom edge grooving;
c) Such angle range can only attain conventional milling angle of Edge Milling Grooving Machine;
2) In these 2 sets of Advanced Configuration Edge Milling Machine,
a) Benefitting from the more extensive range of 0° to +90° for carrying out straight and upper edge grooving;
b) And -45° to +45° milling angle for carrying out bottom edge grooving;
c) Any specific beveling angle can be completed in the Edge Milling Machine;
d) Especially 89° to 90° flat surface facing milling: This is very rare angle in operation of Plate Edge Milling Machine. Please check the product linkage in this blog for viewing on its operating video: SXBJ-12 High Precision SXBJ-12 Heavy Duty Plate Edge Milling Machine and photo as below:
