Up And Straight Grooving Single Head Edge Milling Machine

A. Classification and Definition on XBJ Models Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1. What is Single Head Steel Plate Edge Grooving Machine:

1) There is one set of milling head and its motorized carriage, equipped in one set of the Automatic Steel Plate Beveling Machine. See below photo:

2) The mechanical working table of Wuxi JACK XBJ-6 Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.1)

2. What is Double Heads Plate End Beveling Machine:

1) Comparatively, in SXBJ series Double Heads Automatic Steel Plate Edge Chamfering Machine, there are 2 sets of milling heads and its moving carriages, equipped in one set of the Plate Edge Milling Machine. See below photo:

2) The mechanical working table of Wuxi JACK SXBJ-12 Double Heads Steel Plate Edge Chamfering Machine: (Fig.2)

3. What is Four Heads Configuration Automatic Steel Plate Beveling Machine:

1) In practical application, there is also a kind of FXBJ models four milling heads Plate End Beveling Machine, which has 4 sets of milling head installed in one set of the Plate Beveling Machine;

2) The typical models include FXBJ-18, which usually has 4 sets of milling heads installed at both sides of the Plate Edge Milling Machine working table:

B. Specification, Technical Features, and Application of XBJ Models Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1. Applicable Edge Milling Stroke of XBJ Series Single Head Steel Plate End Beveling Machine:

1) Although in theory, all the effective working table length in Plate Edge Milling Machine, from 3000mm to 18,000mm, can all be made in the form of Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine;

2) However in practical application, considering edge milling productivity and thickness range of workpiece steel plate, the recommended edge milling stroke of single head Plate Edge Grooving Machine is from 3000mm to 9000mm;

3) In other words, the corresponding models are from XBJ-3 to XBJ-9 Plate Edge Chamfering Machine. For edge milling stroke longer than 9000mm, double heads Plate Edge Milling Machine is much more applicable and valuable for customers;

2. Technical Features of XBJ series Single Head Steel Plate Edge Grooving Machine:

1) Power of Milling Head: For XBJ and SXBJ series Plate Edge Milling Machine, small size does not necessarily mean light duty. Milling head installed on single head Plate End Beveling Machine is same as that of double heads Plate Beveling Machine: 7.5kW, with its position adjustable in X/Y/V axis, for getting the best quality of steel plate edge milling;

2) Milling Head Installation Orientation: All the single head Plate Edge Milling Machine has its milling head installed in the fashion shown in below photo, facing downward toward workpiece steel plate:

a) Milling head installing orientation in Wuxi JACK Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.4)

3) Applicable Workpiece: For Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine, the most fitting workpiece are those metal plates, which have small to medium length, and thin to medium level thickness, which had better not up to 40mm, this does not need top and bottom double edges chamfering, delivered from the Plate Edge Grooving Machine;

4) Types of Grooves Produced: Single Head Steel Plate Edge Grooving Machine can only deliver straight edge and upper edge groove on workpiece steel plate, shown as below photo:

a) The finished straight edge groove, produced from Wuxi JACK Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.5)

b) The finished top edge groove, produced from Wuxi JACK Single Head Steel Plate Edge Chamfering Machine: (Fig.6)

5) How to Make Bottom Beveling? In single head Plate Beveling Machine, this can only be attained by means of 2 times loading workpiece steel plate into the Plate Edge Milling Machine, and 1 time flipping 180°;

3. Application of XBJ Series Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1) Common Seen Models: As mentioned previously, Single head Plate Edge Milling Machine is usually applied in the form of small to medium models: From XBJ-3 to XBJ-9;

2) But inversely is not true: Many small sizes Plate Edge Milling Machine are equipped with two sets of milling heads. The typical one is SXBJ-3 Plate End Beveling Machine;

3) Applicating Scenario: Single Head Steel Plate Edge Grooving Machine is usually applied in the field of small to medium level construction site, or Machinery. Such as Construction Machinery, Chemical, Vehicle, etc.;

C. Advantage and Disadvantage of XBJ Models Single Head Steel Plate End Beveling Machine:

1. Advantage of Single Head Steel Plate Edge Chamfering Machine:

1) Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine has relative lower manufacturing cost: A set of milling unit, including milling head, moving carriage, upright column, drive and transmission unit;

2) These components account for 25% ~ 30% percent of total production cost of the Plate Edge Milling Machine, depending on the milling head is sourced from Chinese Mainland or imported;

2. Disadvantage of Single Head Steel Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1) Single Head Plate Edge Milling Machine has relative lower productivity compared with double heads and four heads configuration Plate Edge Grooving Machine:

2) 50% higher efficiency of sheet metal beveling compared with that of the double heads Plate Edge Milling Machine;

3) Besides, additional time of loading and unloading workpiece into the Plate Edge Milling Machine, in case bottom chamfers are necessary to be made on workpieces.
