1) In the product pages of “Edge Milling Machine”, “General Purpose Edge Milling Machine” and “Double Heads Edge Milling Machine”, we talk about the usage and application of the XBJ/ SXBJ/ FXBJ series Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine), together with its technical aspects: Structure, working principle, specification, as well as the strong points of Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine. These can meet the basic and most majority of customer demand in practical use.
2) Meanwhile, as a kind of machining equipment with widespread application across industries, together with high precision tolerance of finished effect, which processes working parts with metal plates of large sizes and heavy weight, in daily operation of the Plate Edge Milling Machine, especially middle and large models, such as SXBJ-9/SXBJ12/ SXBJ15/SXBJ18 Plate Beveling machine, to have safe, efficient, and high standing running of the equipment, there exist many personalized requirements from customers varying from case to case, which entail tailor made solutions of Plate Beveling machine. This calls for introduction on advanced configuration Edge Milling Machine.
In manufacturing industries, the four critical control points are P (People), Q (Quality), V (Velocity), and C (Cost). Correspondingly, the advanced configurations of Edge Milling Machine mainly cover these aspects for customer demand. For example:
a) This is the exclusive configuration of Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine. In conventional Plate Beveling machine, the loading in the steel plates into position of working table and its taken out is made by hand: Operator push in and pull out the as heavy as dozens of tons steel plates with sharp angles in manual work, which is dangerous and time consuming for operation of the Edge Milling Machine;
b) As you can observe from the above photo, in Wuxi JACK product, with this oil cylinder acting raw material handling system, operator just need to control remote pendant of the working unit, and the remaining jobs of steel plates feeding in and coming out of Edge Milling Machine working table will be taken care automatically by the working cell;
a) In operation of Plate Beveling machine, the tiled angle of milling head determines the accuracy of finished chamfer, which is one of the most critical process parameters of the Plate Beveling Machine;
b) In conventional Edge Milling Machine, this job is also completed by manual job: Operator turn the milling head by hand, and check it with the angle ruler at the same time. This not only takes fairly long cycle time of the Edge Milling Machine, but also can not get 100% accurate swing angle of milling head for beveling job in the Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine);
c) As you can find from the above photo, now, with the HMI (Human Machine Interface) embedded into the door of control board, operator just key in the required tilting angle, the milling head of the Advanced Configuration Edge Milling Machine will be revolved to the set angle automatically under motor drive. This brings along labor saving and the highest degree of precision control in running of the Edge Milling Machine;
3) For quick understanding, please check slides “Advantages of Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine”.
1) In a nutshell, at Wuxi JACK, advanced configuration Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine) is the fruit of Continuous Improvement. Over the years, based on rich accumulation of application cases, Wuxi JACK keeps on developing the most fitting solution of Edge Milling Machine for customers across industries worldwide with the time going;
2) By means of closely communication with customers, Wuxi JACK always focus on the “latest paint point” of customer, and update our Advanced Configuration Edge Milling Machine in the light of that.
This involves raw material handling, process control and monitor, on site layout, catering for specialty of working parts to be edge milled… In all, every step in the application of Edge Milling Machine from customer perspective;
Operator can manage the Edge Milling Machine in the best degree of security and convenience;
By means of series of start of the art technique and hardware, the Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine promises output of top quality workpiece in consistent manner;
On the basis of attaining primary target of Edge Milling Machine operation, which is machining edges of steel plates into various chamfers, the development of the Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine echoes evolvement trend of standardization, automation, persistent controllable quality, reasonable cost, and high efficiency.
Definitely yes. The powerful Milling Head in Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine can deliver both top and bottom beveling in the best degree of quality with the highest productivity. Here are some examples on measures taken on milling head of Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine):
1) As shown in the 1st photo, with the installation of photoelectric proximity switch, tilting angle of milling head during its swinging can be detected and feedback all the while to control system of the Advanced Configuration Edge Milling Machine, so that commanding center of the Plate Beveling Machine (Edge Milling Machine) will never loss control on this critical step;
2) Please check the 2nd photo. There is Ammeter installed on the milling head. This is also the unique configuration in Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine. As you know, current of milling head determines cutting depth and volume for its edge milling process, and hence the finished effect of beveling, as well as working efficiency of Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine);
3) As shown in the 3rd photo, there is not only software digital display, but also hardware angular ruler fit on the lateral side of milling head. This gives the double assurance on orientation control of milling head, which is the core step in running of Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine);
4) The 4th photo shows hard stop of the milling head. There are much more details involved. For these information that maybe of interesting to you, please check the product of Workpiece Automatic Loading Two Heads SXBJ-125 Advanced Configuration Edge Milling Machine.
