3) Wuxi JACK CNC-DX3030 CNC Steel Structure BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine at customer plant: (Fig.4)
B. Function and Classification on Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:
1. Task of Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:
1) Usefulness: XBJ Series Plate Edge Milling Machine can be stated as a multi-function chamfering equipment, for beveling working parts end face before welding, in order to acquire high quality welding seam, formed in the subsequent fabrication process;
2) Application Field: Plate Edge Milling Machine is a sort of Supplementary Welding Equipment, extensively utilized in shipbuilding, Metallurgy, Steel Framework and also various other welding manufacturing sectors;
3) Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine making X shape groove on end edges of steel plate: (Fig.5)
2. Working Principle of Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:
1) Same as H Beam End Face Milling Machine, Plate Edge Milling Machine also adopts milling head as its core unit;
2) The different is, in Plate Edge Milling Machine, movement of milling head is along single axis linear trace, instead of two dimensional X and Y axes, as in the case of H Beam End Face Milling Machine;
3) Critical issue on working of the Plate Edge Milling Machine is tilting slant angle of milling head, from 0° up to 90°, which relate directly to finished angle of groove;
4) The 0° to 45° milling head in Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.6)
3. Working Units in Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:
1) Consumables in the Plate Edge Milling Machine:
a) Facer blade, or milling cutter, need to be replaced periodically to maintain its eligible performance;
b) It is internationally popular universal standard type, and readily available in the market;
c) High end facer blade adopted in Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.7)
2) Traveling Device in the Plate Edge Milling Machine:
So, how does each piece of milling head fulfil its task of edge milling?
a) This is realized by means of traveling device, which is fit and engaged onto working table of the Plate Edge Milling Machine, driven under A.C. motor, with its moving speed managed by means of inverter, and have digital display;
b) Each set of traveling device corresponds with one piece of milling head, equipped with individual control board. So, there will be one or two groups of traveling device in any one set of Plate Edge Milling Machine;
c) Traveling device in Wuxi JACK HMI control Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.8)
4. Models of Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:
1) The smallest, or shortest is 3,000mm stroke. The corresponding model is XBJ-3 (Single head) or SXBJ-3 (Double heads) Plate Edge Milling Machine;
2) The largest, or longest is 18,000mm stroke. The corresponding model is SXBJ-18 Plate Edge Milling Machine;
3) Milling Head Quantity in Plate Edge Milling Machine:
a) Single head model is only applicable from 3,000mm to 9,000mm; Longer than that, double heads configuration is more applicable for Plate Edge Milling Machine;
b) Conversely, double heads configuration can be selected in all specifications, from 3,000mm up to 18,000mm stroke.
C. Capability and Application of Triple Flame Cutting Machine:
1. Usage and Using Tips of Triple Flame Cutting Machine:
1) CNC series Triple Flame Cutting Machine has similar function as Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine, for making beveling on edges of sheet metal;
2) This is realized by means of turning flame cutting torch into certain angle, which is modulated by hand, so that edges of steel plate can be cut into certain angle;
3) Wuxi JACK Triple Flame Cutting Machine in beveling: (Fig.9)
2. Difference between Triple Flame Cutting Machine and Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:
1) Saving Cost: The advantage of Triple Flame Cutting Machine compared with Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine is its lower cost, including both machine purchase and running cost;
2) The Disadvantages of Triple Flame Cutting Machine versus Plate Edge Milling Machine:
a) Post Trimming: Cutting kerf has many slags, which need to be trimmed off after cutting;
b) Only straight line cutting kerf available from cutting. Special type round curve can not be made;
c) Only carbon steel plate can be cut in Triple Flame Cutting Machine. While for Plate Edge Milling Machine, all kinds of sheet metal materials can be machined in the equipment.
D. Purpose and Characteristics of Sheet Metal Plate Rolling Shearing Machine:
1. Functions and Applicable Workpieces of Sheet Metal Plate Rolling Shearing Machine:
1) GD20 Rolling Shearing Machine can be viewed as a kind of compact side Plate Edge Milling Machine;
2) Which means, it is also used for making beveling on workpieces, in very high speed;
3) Plate Width: Rolling Shearing Machine is very suitable for small width sheet metal, up to 2,000mm width;
4) Materials can be many types: Carbon steel, Manganese, etc.;
5) Applicable Angle of Finished Groove: 25° to 55°, which covers major scope of beveling requirement;
6) Beveled steel plate from Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Plate Rolling Shearing Machine: (Fig.10)
2. Strong Points and Niche Application of Sheet Metal Plate Rolling Shearing Machine:
1) Saving Land: Rolling Shearing Machine is a kind of compact Equipment for Beveling Sheet Metal Plate, saving land occupation, and convenient for transportation and fixation;
2) Its operation is simple and easy to grasp;
3) Applicable For: So, when customers need to make chamfering on batches of small size sheet metal, into common seen beveling style and angle, Sheet Metal Plate Rolling Shearing Machine is a good choice;
