3. Max. Plate Width: The max. width is usually 3500mm ~ 4000mm;
4. Developing by Wuxi JACK, the Leading Chinese Supplier on Edge Milling Machine:
1) Design Idea: This XBJ series machine was developed under the background and ideology of “Plate Edge Milling Machine takes the position of Planar”: Maintaining the same level of superior welding groove milling performance, while greatly reduce manufacturing cost and purchase budget of machine;
2) Advantages of Edge Beveling Machine Compared with Planar Machine:
a) Higher efficiency on beveling;
b) More less energy consumption during beveling operation;
c) Much lower quotation and running cost of the machine;
In this way, maintaining the original good point of Planar Machine: High quality and precision.
C. Working Principle and Main Units of Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Steel Plate Beveling Machine:
1. Put into Operation on Edge Milling Machine:
1) Operation Way: Utilizing milling head and facer blades, motor drive milling carriage moves under adjustable working velocity along edge of sheet metal plate, accomplishing task of high speed high precision edge milling:
