Beveled Steel Plate from Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine:

The Lefthand Scrolling Photos: The finished beveling quality on steel plate, delivered by Wuxi JACK Plate Edge Miller Machine

When customer purchase on sheet metal plate Edge Milling Machine, points of attention for paying attention to can be listed as:
 

1. The Max. Edge Milling Stroke of Edge Milling Machine:

1) Implication: This determines the max. effective horizontal moving stroke of milling head in Plate Edge Miller;
2) For example, the XBJ-9 model means that, the max. horizontal edge milling stroke of Plate Milling Machine is 9000mm. It can be either single piece of sheet plate, or several pieces of steel plates array in a row;

2. The Types of Bevels to be Edge Milled in Plate Milling Machine:

1) Single Head Edge Milling Machine: For finished welding grooves on workpiece, do you only need straight and top edge bevels, or on top, straight and bottom edges of sheet metal plates? As shown in the lefthand photos for distinguish. If all of or most majority of welding grooves are on straight and top edges of steel plate, XBJ series single head Plate Milling Machine is proper for customer choice;
2) Double Heads Plate Edge Miller: If customer request on all positions of welding groove: Straight edge, top and bottom edges bevels on plates are necessary, then SXBJ series double heads sheet metal Plate Edge Miller is better for customer selection;
3) Long Stroke Plate Milling Machine: On the other hand, suppose customer required edge milling stroke to be longer than 9,000mm, such as 15,000mm, then even if customer only need straight and top edges bevels on steel plate, we still suggest customers to select double heads Edge Milling Machine. This is considered out of productivity and easy operation;

3. Do Customer have any Special Requirement on Plate Edge Miller Machine?

The above two check points set up the basic skeleton on a set of Edge Milling Machine for customer. Based on this, customers can give more specific personalized requirement, such as:
1) The expected milling angle scope of facer blade. The default configuration is 0°~ 45° for straight and top edges beveling, and ~45°~ 0° for bottom edge beveling; In special cases, we can produce high quality tailor made range of ~45°~ +45°, or 0°~80° Plate Milling Machine for customers;
2) The hydraulic drive oil cylinder acting workpiece handling unit. This is an especially useful working cell for large models Edge Milling Machine, when steel plates to be chamfered has large size, large thickness, and heavy weight: Up to dozens of tons;
3) The HMI (Human Machine Interface) for real time and precise control on edge milling angle in the Plate Edge Miller Machine.
 

1) The lefthand 1^st and 2^nd photos show installation orientation of milling head in single head Plate Edge Miller, which is designed for machining on bevel in upper and straight edges of sheet metal plates;
2) The lefthand 3^rd photo show a piece of steel plate, which has been milled on its straight and top edges with single head Edge Milling Machine. The steel plate has finished upper edge and straight side bevels;
3) Typical models: XBJ-3, XBJ-4, XBJ-6, XBJ-9, and special made XBJ-16.

Technical Parameters of XBJ Series Single Head Sheet Plate Milling Machine:

1) Technical Features: As its name suggest, in one set of double heads Plate Edge Miller, there are 2 pieces of milling head and its motor drive carriages installed. The installation orientations of two milling heads are different: One milling head is installed same as that of the single head Plate Milling Machine; The second milling head is installed shown in the righthand 2^nd photo, for machining on lower edge bevels of sheet metal;
2) The typical finished bevels from double heads Plate Milling Machine are shown in righthand 3^rd photo. There are straight edge / upper edge/ and lower edge bevel machined on the steel plate;
3) Typical Models: SXBJ-3, SXBJ-4, SXBJ-5, SXBJ-6, SXBJ-9, SXBJ-12, SXBJ-15, SXBJ-16, and SXBJ-18.

Technical Parameters of SXBJ Series Double Heads Edge Milling Machine:

1) Function: As shown in lefthand photos, this machine is for processing straight edge, upper edge and lower edge bevels on super large steel plates (Up to 23m length and 100mm thickness) in high efficiency;
2) Configuration: As shown in the lefthand 2^nd photo, in 1 set of typical four ~ five heads Edge Milling Machine, there are:
a) 2 sets of 11kW milling head installed at both sides of work table. Totally 4 sets of the milling carriage in one large Edge Milling Machine;
b) Optional: The 5th set of 7.5kW milling head installed at lateral side of work table, for performing edge milling on lateral side of steel plates;
3) Typical Models: GFXBJ-20, GFXBJ-21, and GFXBJ-23.

Technical Parameters of Four to Five Heads Heavy duty Sheet Plate Edge Miller Machine:

1. Extensive Use of Plate Milling Machine:

1) Sharp Tool for Welding Prepare: As universal general purpose Welding Groove Processing Equipment for machining bevels on edges of sheet metal plate, especially carbon steel plate, sheet metal Plate Edge Miller is widely used across industries, where there exist process technology step of steel plates fabrication;
2) Across Field Industries: From Machinery Industry, to Civil Engineering projects such as Bridge Construction, Electricity Power Plant, Military use, Oil Field, Petro Chemical, Vehicle Industry, Port Machinery, Pressure Vessel, Shipbuilding, etc. At all the working facilities of these industries, you can find busy operation of wide variations Plate Milling Machine;

2. Other Machine with Similar Function of Plate Edge Miller as Welding Groove Processing Equipment:

Wuxi JACK produces two other types of machinery, which have the similar function of machining welding grooves on edges of sheet metal plate:
1) GD models Hobbing Cutter, this is for cutting welding groove on small size sheet metal plate;
2) Flame Triple Plate Cutting Machine, which cuts out welding groove in the working mode of Oxygen fuel flame cutting, different from high revolution milling cutter in Edge Milling Machine;
3) Plate Moving type Large Edge Milling Machine: This machine has 55kW milling head, which realizes very high cutting speed and beveling efficiency. The other difference with conventional Plate Edge Miller is its working way: During edge milling, the steel plate moves through the milling area of the Plate Milling Machine in working velocity, and got its both sides milled at the same time;

3. Application Sites and Production Lines of Edge Milling Machine:

1) Production Lines: Same as CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine, as a kind of widely used 1st Operation Equipment, Plate Milling Machine is usually deployed at beginning work station of production line, right before welding station. For example, H Beam Production Line, BOX Beam Production Line, T Beam Production Line, Shipbuilding Production Line, and or Special Welding Machine;
2) Special Design: When deployed in these steel structure production lines, considering the specialty of required process step, Wuxi JACK develops a kind of tandem Plate Milling Machine, which is specifically applicable for fulfilling high efficiency both sides of steel plate beveling with its one pass through;
3) Plate Joining: Plate Edge Miller Machine is often applied as pre-machining equipment ahead of welding machines. For example, Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine for fabricating on larger size of steel plate, or Welding Manipulator and Welding Rotator, for implement on circumferential welding on barrels.
