Video of Top and or Straight Edge Groove Making in Advanced Configuration Edge Milling Machine

1) This 1 minute video was taken on milling head validation in the form of straight edge beveling, during production of XBJ and SXBJ series Plate Edge Milling Machine at Wuxi JACK workshop;
2) In all the operations of the Plate Edge Beveling Machine, straight edge beveling is the first step for any kind of groove making: It makes clean, straight and flat mirror surface, serving as reference plane for next step of up or bottom edges chamfering;
3) As you can find from the video, the working speed of Edge Milling Machine for straight end milling was 340mm/min.;
4) In theory, the available machining velocity for Plate End Milling Machine is 150~ 850 mm/min. And in practical application, for the medium sized thickness steel plate of 40mm ~ 50mm as shown in the video, the usually selected working speed is 300~ 400 mm/min., which renders optimum end milling effect from the Plate Edge Milling Machine.

1) At the completion of straight edge beveling in the previous video, the up edge beveling on steel plate can be made in the Wuxi JACK XBJ and SXBJ series Plate Edge Milling Machine;
2) You can find from the video that, working speed of the Plate Edge Beveling Machine at this stage was 410 mm/min., which is slightly faster than straight end milling. This is because with the prime machining made on the steel plate from the End Milling Machine, the cutting depth for one pass of upper edge chamfer can be smaller and lighter;
3) In the video, the milling scraps fell onto horizontal bed of the Edge Milling Machine and disposing hopper. For official running at customer site, there will be eye catching cover plate assembled onto the bed of the Plate Edge Milling Machine.

Video of Ingenious and Advanced Function in Wuxi JACK Plate Edge Milling Machine

In this segment, we pick up 6 videos of the End Milling Machine, to demonstrate the more extensive milling angle, precise and easy control angle position and feeding stroke, the heavy duty milling head, as well as friendly operating steel plate handling system in Wuxi JACK Advanced Configuration Edge Milling Machine:

Wider Tilting Angle of Milling Head in Edge Milling Machine:

1) This video was taken on set of tailor made XBJ-4 Plate Edge Milling Machine at Wuxi JACK facility;
2) The “tailor made” refers to its milling head tilting angle, which equals to finished bevel slant angle delivered from the Plate Edge Beveling Machine. This is one of the critical process control parameters of the Edge Milling Machine;
3) In standard configuration Plate End Milling Machine, the revolving angle scope of top side chamfering milling head is 0°~ 45°. Comparatively, this set of special made Edge Milling Machine has available adjustable angular range of 0°~ 85°. And in the video, the milling head was performing 75° upper edge beveling;
4) So, how to judge tilting angle of milling head in the Plate Edge Beveling Machine by visual inspection? When machining face of facer blade is perpendicular with workshop floor, or in other words, milling head is parallel with workshop floor, tilting angle of the Plate Edge Milling Machine milling head is taken as 0°;
5) And from this video, you can observe that, machining face of facer blade is nearly parallel with workshop floor, at revolving angle of 75° in the Plate Edge Milling Machine.

Counter Control Milling Head Feeding Motor and Powerful Milling Head in Plate Edge Milling Machine:
 

1) This video has duration of 2 minute and 5 seconds, on a set of SXBJ-18 Plate Edge Milling Machine tried at Wuxi JACK facility. From it, you can get 2 information on advanced function of the Plate End Milling Machine:
2) The first is orange color counter for controlling feeding stroke of milling head motor, as you can find from beginning of the video. In conventional Plate Edge Beveling Machine, the feeding of milling head toward edge of steel plate is realized by manually operating handwheel;
3) Comparatively, in this set of top class Plate Edge Beveling Machine, feeding of milling head is driven with motor, and has its position controlled and detected with counter;
4) The second is heavy force working milling head adopted in the Edge Milling Machine: As you can find from the bottom edge beveling job in the video, the milling head of the End Milling Machine performs edge milling job with easy work and high precision;
5) Compared with 3~4mm cutting depth in conventional Plate End Milling Machine, the milling head in this set of advanced Plate Edge Milling Machine can deliver 5~6mm cutting depth in one stroke.

User Friendly Operation and Precise Control on Milling Head Angle in Edge Milling Machine:

1) For appraising on performance of the Plate Edge Milling Machine, tilting angle of milling head is one of the most important indexes, which determines the finished angle of welding groove output from the Plate Edge Beveling Machine;
2) In conventional Plate Edge Milling Machine, this angle is adjusted manually with worm gear. It entails skill of operator, and consumes fairly long time on attaining the purpose;
3) In the Wuxi JACK SXBJ-125 advanced configured Edge Milling Machine from the video, this tilting head is controlled and monitored with HMI (Human machine interface), and tilting of the milling head is driven with motor;
4) Meanwhile, in the process of milling head revolving, there is proximity switch in electric system of the plate End Milling Machine, which detects angular position of the milling head, and sends out signal upon arrival of the milling head, as you can check from the video;
5) During the milling head validation stage for this set of sophisticated Plate Edge Milling Machine, first operator tried upward for positive angle position of the milling head, then back to its zero position, then turned downward to negative angle position;
6) In the whole process, you can identify the intuitive display angle position of the Plate Edge Beveling Machine milling head, from touch screen of the HMI, as well as digital display on the milling head;
7) This makes the critical step of angle adjustment in the Edge Milling Machine convenient, high speed, and precise.

1) This video continues presentation on accurate and easy angle control in the Wuxi JACK XBJ and SXBJ series Plate Edge Milling Machine from the previous video;
2) At the beginning of the video, operator tried -10° as target position of milling head. Then, the head revolved downward, until screen of HMI displayed -9.7° for the End Milling Machine;
3) Then, operator input -20° for another time of angle trying. And the milling head tilted to its next position, until screen of HMI displayed -19.6° in the Edge Milling Machine;
4) Also, as you can find from the video, the digital display meter on top of the milling head dynamically reflects angle position changing of milling head, during running of the Plate Edge Milling Machine.

The Safe and Labor Saving Material Handling System in Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1) Imagine weight of steel plate to be processed in the Plate Edge Beveling Machine:
a) Example 1: For SXBJ-15 Edge Milling Machine, suppose a piece of 15m long, 3m width, 50mm thick steel plate will be edge milled in this End Milling Machine, which is common size of raw material for such model of Edge Milling Machine. Weight of the steel plate is about 18Ton;
b) Example 2: For SXBJ-18 Plate Edge Milling Machine, suppose a piece of 18m long, 4m width, 50mm thick will be edge milled in this End Milling Machine, Weight of the steel plate is over 28Ton;
2) In conventional Plate Edge Milling Machine, the pushing in steel plate, and pulling out of the machined steel plate, are all made by hand. It is challenged with risk, and time consuming;
3) In Wuxi JACK XBJ and SXBJ model advanced configured Plate Edge Milling Machine, the heavy and large steel plate is handled by means of hydraulic driven material handling system. Operator just hoist the steel plate onto this system, the remaining logistics job will be taken care with the Plate Edge Beveling Machine;
4) In this video, 2 operators were validating the flatness of rolling rollers of the material handling system in the End Milling Machine. With these rolling rollers, steel plates can be protected in the largest degree during moving in the Edge Milling Machine.

1) This video is also on the hydraulic drive steel plate handling system in Wuxi JACK Plate Edge Milling Machine, which is introduced in the previous video;
2) The difference is, as you can check from the video, the system was at the later stage of production: It had been assembled and painted, on a set of finished Wuxi JACK XBJ and SXBJ series Plate Edge Beveling Machine;
3) As you can find from the video, every piece of the support rack can be raised upward, under the drive of oil cylinder, so that the heavy and big steel plate can be raised up and pushed onto working table of the Plate Edge Milling Machine;
4) Here we make emphasis that, this powerful and valuable system can only be found in Wuxi JACK delivered Plate Edge Milling Machine.
