2. Output of XBJ Series General Purpose Edge Milling Machine:

1) As can be seen from the above sketches, with the introduction of General Purpose Edge Milling Machine, you can get either type of the chamfers listed in the above sketch, as well as more special types of bevels, such as round shape edge groove;
2) Any scope of milling angle you desire: 0° ~ +45°, 0° ~ +80°, -45° ~ 0°, -45° ~ +45°… can all be available by means of milling head tilting in the powerful Wuxi JACK General Purpose Edge Milling Machine. In this way, the final shape of straight edge, X, K, V, Y, U types of grooves, and round shape chamfer with the use of special facer come into reality;

3. Process Control in Wuxi JACK XBJ Series General Purpose Edge Milling Machine:

1) The standard thickness range of sheet metal plate for beveling in Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine) is from 6mm to 50mm. By special made and configuration of milling head and facer blade, as thick as 300mm sheet plate thickness can be processed in Wuxi JACK XBJ series General Purpose Edge Milling Machine;
2) Working Speed Manage: Based on welding technology required, and thickness of steel plate, the working speed of beveling operation in General Purpose Edge Milling Machine is adjustable controlled in stepless manner, and displayed in real time on operating pendant, or human machine interface, as shown in below;

As leading supplier of General Purpose Edge Milling Machine, Wuxi JACK has established our superiority in industry in this flagship product thanks to series of unique advantages. Here we just pick up two of them for brief introduction as below:

1. Heady duty precise linear guiderail for guiding milling head moving,
2. As well as powerful and multi-function milling head in Edge Milling Machine,

These are preconditions for guaranteeing high level operation of General Purpose End Milling Machine. Below are detailed introduction on it:  

A. Heady duty Precise Linear Guiderail in Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine:

What is the Significance of Heavy Duty Precise Linear Guiderail for Making Sure High Standard Running of the General Purpose Edge Milling Machine?
 

1. First, let us review the working principle of Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine):

1) The Edge Milling Machine makes beveling on edge of sheet metal plate in the way of milling head travels along machine bed along horizontal direction in working speed. As you can find from the below picture; 

Milling head carriage on horizontal mechanical bed of Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.6)

2) For this reason, persistent stable running of milling head carriage along the long Edge Milling Machine bed is of vital importance, on making sure eligible and constant quality of Edge Milling Machine performance;

2. The Type and Installation Way of Guiderail in Wuxi JACK General Purpose Edge Milling Machine:

Mechanical base bed and double stages of horizontal heavy duty precise linear guiderails assembled: (Fig.7)

Lubrication system on moving carriage of Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.8)

1. Definition on Single Head General Purpose Edge Milling Machine:

1) Configuration: The XBJ series single head Edge Milling Machine has only one piece of milling head in one set of the equipment;
2) The installing orientation of the milling head in single head General Purpose End Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine) is usually used for making upper edge beveling, or top edge beveling. As shown in the left hand photo;
3) Bottom Edge Beveling: If it is necessary to make bottom edge beveling during operation of the single head Edge Milling Machine, the carbon steel plate needs to be pulled out of the machine, flipped upside down 180°, and loaded into the Edge Milling Machine again for the 2nd time running;

4) Applicable Workpiece: In practical application, the common seen max. valid workpiece length in Single Head General Purpose Edge Milling Machine is from 3,000mm to 9,000mm: The corresponding typical models are XBJ-3, XBJ-6, and XBJ-9 General Purpose End Milling Machine. For thin steel plate with thickness less than 14mm, the valid cutting length of the Single Head Edge Milling Machine can be up to 12,000 mm:The corresponding model is XBJ-12 Plate Beveling machine;
5) During working, the adjustable edge milling working speed is VFD (Variable frequency drive) by inverter control, and displayed in operating pendant of Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine), as shown in left hand photo.

2. Technical Parameters of XBJ Series Single Head General Purpose Edge Milling Machine:

1. Definition on Double Heads Edge Milling Machine:

1) Configuration: The SXBJ series double heads General Purpose Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine) has two sets of milling head in a set of the equipment;
2) Installation Orientation: Under majority conditions, the two sets of milling heads in the General Purpose End Milling Machine are installed at the same side of machine worktable: One for making top beveling, and the other for making bottom beveling. The two sets of the milling heads travel together during the entire working process of the General Purpose Edge Milling Machine;

3) Special Design: Besides, there is a kind of special made double heads Edge Milling Machine, which has its two pieces of milling heads installed at both sides of the machine worktable. This is for the purpose of making edge milling on both sides of narrow long steel plates at the same time during working of the General Purpose End Milling Machine;
4) Applicable Specifications: The common seen Max. valid workpiece length for being machined in SXBJ series Double Heads General Purpose Edge Milling Machine is from 3m to 18m. The corresponding machine models are from SXBJ-3 to SXBJ-18. Of these the most frequently selected models in the market are SXBJ-3, SXBJ-6, SXBJ-9, SXBJ-12, SXBJ-15 and SXBJ-18 Edge Milling Machine. Of course, any size of the General Purpose Edge Milling Machine within this range is available, for example SXBJ-7, SXBJ-8, and SXBJ-10 Edge Milling Machine.

2. Technical Parameters of Double Heads Edge Milling Machine:
