A.      Development History of I Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1.       Definition, Function and Advantages of H Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1)       Working Nature: H Beam Face Milling Machine mainly refers to machine tool that uses milling cutter to process on end surfaces of steel structure workpieces;

2)       Purpose: This equipment makes end face of working parts clean and smooth, free from rust and foreign particle, debris... So that coating and assembling can be fulfilled in high efficiency and quality;

3)       Strong Points: End facing efficiency implemented with H Beam End Face Milling Machine is higher than that of planers. Its operation is safe and convenient;

4)       BOX Beam finished end facing, from Wuxi JACK CNC-DX3030 CNC I Beam End Face Milling Machine: (Fig.1)

2.       Working Principle of H Beam Face Milling Machine:

1)       The core working unit is a piece of milling head, which has facer blade as its consumables;

2)       During work, milling cutter moves by rotation, cutting surface of workpieces in certain depths;

3)       Meanwhile, milling head moves along either X or Y axis, or along sophisticated trace in CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine, fulfilling task of end face machining;

4)       Machining on end face of large steel structure part, in Wuxi JACK DX4080 Large Steel Structure Beam Face Milling Machine: (Fig.2)

3.       Status Quo Application of I Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1)       Equipment Property: H Beam End Face Milling Machine not only belongs to equipment in H Beam Production Line, but also machining equipment of Milling Machine;

2)       Applied Industry: Besides H Beam/ I Beam/ BOX Beam/ Cross Beam/ T Beam, it can also process more complex profiles. So, this Steel Structure Beam End Face Milling Machine is widely used in Steel Structure Industry/ Bridge Construction/ Building Industry/ Pipeline Deployment/ Machinery Manufacturing and Repair Departments.

4.       Milestone: Originated from Milling Machine to Specific H Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1)       Milling machine was originally a horizontal equipment created by American E. Whitney in 1818;

2)       In order to mill spiral grooves of twist drills, American J.R. Brown created the first universal milling machine in 1862, which was the prototype of lifting table equipment;

3)       Around 1884, gantry milling machines appeared;

4)       In the 1920s, a semi-automatic milling machine appeared, and worktable used a stop to complete automatic conversion of "feed fast" or "rapid feed";

5)       After 1950, milling machines developed rapidly on control systems, and application of digital control greatly improved automation degree of milling machines;

6)       In 1970s to 1980s, with rapid expansion of Steel Structure Buildings, H Beam End Face Milling Machine was developed and put into market, and acquired more application with widespread rising of steel structure constructions.

B.       Classification on Steel Structure Beam End Face Milling Machine:

2.       Conventional I Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1)       This is the widest use series, for processing on H Beam/ BOX Beam/ Cross Beam;

2)       It has the max. vertical end facing stroke of 1200mm to 1500mm;

3)       Cross Beam in Wuxi JACK exported to Korea DX1515 Steel Structure Beam End Face Milling Machine: (Fig.3)

3.       Special Size Steel Structure Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1)       This includes small size light duty (DX08xx / DX10xx), and heavy duty Large Steel Structure Face Milling Machine (DX40xx to DX60xx);

2)       The max. end face stroke height can be small to 1000mm, or big to 6000mm;

3)       Wuxi JACK DX6080 Large Steel Structure Face Milling Machine exported to Vietnam: (Fig.4)

4.       CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1)       Digital control system is applied, expanding processing range of the machine, and improve processing accuracy and efficiency;

2)       CNC programming is used in machine tool operations, which greatly frees up labor;

3)       Widens application range greatly;

C.       Several Tips on Daily Operation/ Service/ Safety Use on H Beam Face Milling Machine:

1.       Workpiece Loading and Securing in Steel Structure Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1)       When loading and unloading workpieces into the H Beam End Face Milling Machine, milling head should be moved aside, and facer blade not approach milling surface;

2)       Workpiece clamping is very important on proper running of the machine, especially light to medium duty Steel Structure Beam End Face Milling Machine;

3)       Wuxi JACK is very good at designing and producing various regular and special design clamping fixtures. Detailed discussion is in blog “Find the Most Applicative Workpiece Fixture in H Beam End Face Milling Machine”;

4)       Wuxi JACK regular and tailor made fixture in Steel Structure Beam End Face Milling Machine: (Fig.6,7)

   

2.       Pre-Adjustment before Official Running of I Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1)       During feeding forward milling head toward workpiece, approaching should be slowly. Do not feed too fast;

2)       There should be sufficient space between milling head and workpiece. Any component of the I Beam End Face Milling Machine should not hit people;

3)       Before official delivery from Wuxi JACK, limit stops of the H Beam End Face Milling Machine have been adjusted properly. Do not change its position;

4)       Before adjustment on tool/ workpiece modulation, the H Beam End Face Milling Machine should be stopped;

5)       When replacing facer blade, the workpiece should be padded with proper material; Nuts should be loosened from the milling cutter;
