Up And Straight Grooving Single Head Edge Milling Machine

A. Classification and Definition on XBJ Models Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1. What is Single Head Steel Plate Edge Grooving Machine:

1) There is one set of milling head and its motorized carriage, equipped in one set of the Automatic Steel Plate Beveling Machine. See below photo:

2) The mechanical working table of Wuxi JACK XBJ-6 single head model machine for steel plate edge milling : (Fig.1)

2. What is Double Heads Plate End Beveling Machine:

1) Comparatively, in SXBJ series Double Heads Automatic Steel Plate Edge Chamfering Machine, there are 2 sets of milling heads and its moving carriages, equipped in one set of the machine for plate edge milling. See below photo:

2) The mechanical working table of Wuxi JACK SXBJ-12 double heads machine for edge chamfering on steel plate: (Fig.2)

3. What is Four Heads Configuration Automatic Steel Plate Beveling Machine:

1) In practical application, there is also a kind of FXBJ models four milling heads Plate End Beveling Machine, which has 4 sets of milling head installed in one set of the machine for plate beveling;

2) The typical models include FXBJ-18, which usually has 4 sets of milling heads installed at both sides of the machine working table of plate edge milling:

B. Specification, Technical Features, and Application of XBJ Models Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1. Applicable Edge Milling Stroke of XBJ Series Single Head Steel Plate End Beveling Machine:

1) Although in theory, all the effective working table length in the machine of plate edge milling, from 3000mm to 18,000mm, can all be made in the form of single head configurated machine;

2) However in practical application, considering edge milling productivity and thickness range of workpiece steel plate, the recommended edge milling stroke of single head configured machine for plate edge grooving is from 3000mm to 9000mm;

3) In other words, the corresponding models are from XBJ-3 to XBJ-9 model Plate Edge Chamfering Machine. For edge milling stroke longer than 9000mm, double heads configured machine is much more applicable and valuable for customers;

2. Technical Features of XBJ series Single Head Steel Plate Edge Grooving Machine:

1) Power of Milling Head: For XBJ and SXBJ series Plate Edge Milling Machine, small size does not necessarily mean light duty. Milling head installed on single head Plate End Beveling Machine is same as that of double heads machine of sheet metal edge beveling: 7.5kW, with its position adjustable in X/Y/V axis, for getting the best quality of steel plate edge milling;

2) Milling Head Installation Orientation: All the single head machine has its milling head installed in the fashion shown in below photo, facing downward toward workpiece steel plate:

a) Milling head installing orientation in Wuxi JACK Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.4)

3) Applicable Workpiece: For single head XBJ models machine, the most fitting workpiece are those metal plates, which have small to medium length, and thin to medium level thickness, which had better not up to 40mm, this does not need top and bottom double edges chamfering, delivered from this machine for edge grooving on sheet metal plate;

4) Types of Grooves Produced: Single Head Steel Plate Edge Grooving Machine can only deliver straight edge and upper edge groove on workpiece steel plate, shown as below photo:

a) The finished straight edge groove, produced from Wuxi JACK single head machine of edge milling on steel plate: (Fig.5)

b) The finished top edge groove, produced from Wuxi JACK Single Head Steel Plate Edge Chamfering Machine: (Fig.6)

5) How to Make Bottom Beveling? In single head machine of plate beveling, this can only be attained by means of 2 times loading workpiece steel plate into the machine for implementing on plate edge milling operation, and 1 time flipping 180°;

3. Application of XBJ Series Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1) Common Seen Models: As mentioned previously, single head models machine is usually applied in the form of small to medium models: From XBJ-3 to XBJ-9;

2) But inversely is not true: Many small sizes machine are equipped with two sets of milling heads. The typical one is SXBJ-3 model machine on plate end beveling;

3) Applicating Scenario: Single Head Steel Plate Edge Grooving Machine is usually applied in the field of small to medium level construction site, or Machinery. Such as Construction Machinery, Chemical, Vehicle, etc.;

4) A set of Wuxi JACK XBJ-3 model single head machine of edge milling on steel plate being installed at customer workshop: (Fig.7)

C. Advantage and Disadvantage of XBJ Models Single Head Steel Plate End Beveling Machine:

1. Advantage of Single Head Steel Plate Edge Chamfering Machine:

1) Cost Saving: Single head models machine has relative lower manufacturing cost: A set of milling unit, including milling head, moving carriage, upright column, drive and transmission unit;

2) These components account for 25% ~ 30% percent of total production cost of the machine, depending on the milling head is sourced from Chinese Mainland or imported;

2. Disadvantage of Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1) Single head models machine has relative lower productivity compared with double heads and four heads configuration machines for fulfilling plate edge grooving:

2) 50% higher efficiency of sheet metal beveling compared with that of the double heads configuration machine for plate edge milling;

3) Besides, additional time of loading and unloading workpiece into the machine, in case bottom chamfers are necessary to be made on workpieces.
