Full Range Welding Groove Making Plate Edge Milling Machine

A. Usage and Application of Automatic Sheet Metal Welding Groove Edge Milling Machine:

1. Also named as Plate Beveling Machine. This machine is for beveling/ chamfering on metal plates, especially carbon steel, so as to acquire welding groove;

2. So, it is a kind of general purpose Automatic Plate Welding Groove Making Machine;

3. XBJ Series Sheet Metal Edge Milling Machine is widely applied in Industries and Facilities of Boiler, Pressure Vessel, Petroleum, Electric Power, Hoist Machinery, Steel Structure, etc.

B. Categories and Main Specifications of Automatic Plate Welding Groove Edge Milling Machine:

1. There are 2 general types of Edge Milling Machine:

1) XBJ series Single Head Sheet Metal Edge Milling Machine:

The single head Welding Groove Making Machine produces straight edge and upper edge groove on steel plates;

2) SXBJ series Double Heads Sheet Metal Edge Milling Machine:

The double heads Plate Welding Groove Making Machine can produce straight edge, upper edge and bottom edge groove with one time stroke;

2. Milling Angle in Automatic Plate Welding Groove Edge Milling Machine:

1) Usually, milling head angle is 0°~ 45° for straight and upper edge groove making, and -45°~ 0° for bottom edge groove making;

3. Edge Milling Thickness in Automatic Plate Welding Groove Making Machine:

1) Conventional models of Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine can have metal plate beveling in the thickness range of 6mm~ 80mm;

2) For special customer demand, this thickness can be up to 160mm.

C. Structure and Main Units of Wuxi JACK XBJ and SXBJ Series Edge Milling Machine:

1. This Welding Groove Making Machine has gantry body structure. The steel plates are loaded from its front side by means of loading racks;

2. Edge milling working groups are installed at back side of mechanical frame;

3. Main units of XBJ and SXBJ Series Plate Beveling Machine:

1) Mechanical system, including machine main frame, machine bed, upper gantry, workpiece supporting and loading rack;

2) Hydraulic driving system, including pump station, electromagnetic valve, oil pipeline. This system is for clamping the steel plates firmly during edge milling;

3) Control system, including electric components, inverter, relay, contactor, cable slides;

4) Edge milling tool: Milling head, facer blade, its elevation, swing, feeding forward and backward driving motors, traveling carriage.

D. Milling Head of Wuxi JACK XBJ and SXBJ Series Automatic Plate Welding Groove Edge Milling Machine:

1. Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine are equipped with 7.5kW milling head for standard models, and 9.3kW/ 11kW for heavy duty models;

2. Such high power milling head guarantees high speed and efficiency chamfering from sheet metal beveling operation;

3. The milling head of Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine not only has high power, but also easy operation for changing its spindle revolve: (Fig.5)

E. Exclusive Optional Function Units in Wuxi JACK XBJ and SXBJ Series Sheet Metal Edge Milling Machine:

With years of accumulation and maintained as top grade supplier, Wuxi JACK has our Edge Milling Machine equipped with many unique and useful function groups. Such as:

1. Hydraulic Drive Metal Plate Pushing In and Loading Out System for Edge Milling Machine:

1) You may know that steel plates to be machined in Edge Milling Machine are usually have large size and heavy weight: Length up to 18m, thickness up to 80mm or even 160mm, weight from several tons up to dozens of tons. So, its handling is laborious, time consuming, and dangerous;

2) To solve this problem for customers, Wuxi JACK has successfully developed this automatic running hydraulic drive steel plates handling system. 

It is unique function of Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine, and has acquired customer welcome for many years: (Fig.6)

2. Precise Control HMI (Human Machine Interface) Milling Angle in Welding Groove Making Machine:

1) Conventionally, milling angle is adjusted manually and observed with angle ruler. It takes relatively long time, and not so accurate;

2) The HMI interface touch screen input developed by Wuxi JACK for Edge Milling Machine can deliver very precise and accurate milling angle management:
