Summary on Wuxi JACK CNC machines
A. Brief on Case of CNC-DX2040 Pipe and Steel Structure BOX H Beam CNC End Milling Machine:
1. Customer Quick Decision on Selecting Wuxi JACK CNC End Milling Machine:
1) In middle June 2025, customer contacted with us, on several models of our machine on end face milling, from conventional models of DX1520/ DX1525/ DX1530, to related CNC control models, and medium large model of this CNC-DX2040. Customer is a very powerful trading company based in Moscow;
2) 2 weeks later at beginning of July 2025, customer informed us that, their director and chief engineer were in business travel in China, and planned to visit Wuxi JACK. The gentlemen checked our DX1520 model in workshop, and had discussion with us. Customer have high recognition on our strength/ experience on providing Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine for customers, especially in East European markets;
3) The decision on purchasing CNC-DX2040 model CNC machine from Wuxi JACK was immediately made the same day as customer visit, and the next day both sides signed cooperation and service contract, the same week Wuxi JACK received advance payment on CNC-DX2040, thus initiating on order to delivery value chain of the machine;
2. Customer Requirement on CNC-DX2040 CNC Machine on Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling:
1) Size of Workpiece Cross Section for Face Milling: 2,000mm height by 4,000mm width;
2) Purpose: The end face milled workpiece can be joint in high performance, either with fabrication, or with assembly;
3) Function:
a) Suitable for machining workpieces with section shape composed from right angle straight edges. For example: Square/ Rectangle/ BOX Beam/ H Beam/I Beam, etc.;
b) Suitable for machining workpiece with section shape other than the above mentioned “regular” shape: Such workpieces as pipe, tube, and all kinds of irregular shape parts;
4) Configuration:
a) CNC Controller: Chinese SF-2100C, a high performance controller with reasonable price: (Fig.1)
b) Milling Head: The 7.5kW HD750 high performance, with 6 sections 75~ 420 rpm spindle revolve: (Fig.2)
c) Milling Head movement guiding: The HIWIN heavy duty ball bearing precise linear guiderail: (Fig.3)
d) Workpiece Clamp: With 2 sets of hydraulic drive workpiece clamping table: (Fig.4)
B. Technical View on CNC Machine on Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling:
Wuxi JACK started design and manufacturing CNC End Milling Machine from the year of around 2012, and still the very few and best supplier in this field;
1. CNC of Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine:
1) 2 Assembly Way of CNC controller:
a) At early stage, CNC is mainly fixed onto column of machine: (Fig.5)
The limitation of such assembly is, it is not convenient for operation: Operator need to stand at certain distance away from milling head and cutting point;
b) So, the upgrade on CNC End Milling Machine is to have its CNC controller in hanging type, close view on milling operation by operator: (Fig.6)
2) CNC Nature: This is an universal and general purpose numerical control system, which means, not confined to be adopted in CNC-DX series H Beam End Face Milling Machine with CNC, but also other numerical control equipment, like CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine, etc. As supplier of these machines, what we need to do is to compile control program embedded inside the CNC control system based on equipment task;
3) One of the most common used CNC controllers is Chinese mainland brand STARFIRE CNC SF-2100C, made in Beijing. With this control system, you just need to pick up the type of workpiece to be machined from its library, key in specific parameters for size/ angles/ radian, etc., and press START--- Just go with it! Please check video page on Wuxi JACK Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine with CNC;
4) Operating interface on the CNC: Just “tell” CNC on external and internal radius, as well as milling depth to be get, the remaining jobs will be taken care with CNC controller. Operator just observe and monitor on the entire milling operation:
CNC monitor interface on end face milling: (Fig.7)
2. Servo Drive System of H Beam End Face Milling Machine with CNC:
1) Importance: In CNC End Milling Machine on BOX H Beam and pipes, drive system is realized by means of servo motor and encoder. It is enforcement body for facing operation in the machine. Without it, the precision of ±0.15mm along full stroke can not be attained;
2) Servo Motor Power: The servo drive system for end face milling operation features in relative lower to medium power (1.5~ 2kW) and higher torque;
3) One group of servo drive system includes:
a) Servo driver controller: (Fig.8)
b) Servo drive motor and encoder,
Of one set each, from same supplier. The brand and model are Panasonic A6 series;
4) Power: For one set of conventional model CNC Machine on Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling, there are two sets of such servo drive systems of different power:
a) 1.5kW for milling head horizontal way feeding;
b) 2kW for milling head vertical way feeding;
3. Expect on Operator of Steel Structure Beam CNC End Milling Machine:
1) With the help of CNC controller, operator of CNC machine does not need to care on how to have facer blade setting, as in ordinary models --- CNC controller will finish these sophisticated jobs, including finding zero point as initiation of end face milling operation, positioning the facer blade to the zero point, etc.…
2) So, you can see, with technological development of machine, so is also the requirement on skill of its working staff. On the other hand, the developing trend is always on the way to better friendly operation, higher precision, and higher manufacturing efficiency:
a) Operator works on Wuxi JACK CNC-DX1520: (Fig.9)
b) Working staff of Wuxi JACK CNC-DX2040 medium large CNC Machine on Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling: (Fig.10)
4. Operator Standing in Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine with CNC:
1) In below photo, which was taken in the year of 2011, operator was standing on a set of DX4080 large machine of ordinary type, at that time CNC was not introduced into this kind of equipment:
Operator works on Wuxi JACK DX4080 large Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine: (Fig.11)
2) Nowadays, with CNC equipped to large size CNC End Milling Machine like this set of CNC-DX2040, where should operator stand during end facing operation? Is it alongside CNC, to watch on parameters of end facing, or on the elevating standing, to monitor the end facing process?
3) The ideal condition, of course, should be together; On the other hand, in the case of CNC station away from the elevating stand, as the first stage CNC Machine on Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling, the lifting standing takes priority. Anyway, the CNC controller has alarming function, which will give hint on abnormal conditions as the case maybe;
4) So, why do not assemble CNC onto the lifting stand? This is not a difficult issue in CNC End Milling Machine. But, too close distance to the end facing point may bring negative impact on performance of CNC. This is the reason that, in Wuxi JACK current design Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine with CNC, by the year 2025, we usually install the CNC system at the bottom position of machine column:

C. Summary on Wuxi JACK CNC Control Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine:
1. Back to beginning discussion of this blog, when customer first contacted with us on different models of machine in middle June 2025, they also asked on photos of these models: This is very smart requirement, which can easily distinguish real and capable supplier, with those mediocre ones:
2. Only excellent company with rich experience, like Wuxi JACK,can provide large amount of photos and videos of different models Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine with CNC or without, which intuitively shows our strength and position in this field. Comparatively, if you ask any other company, they can only give customer very few photos and videos on the machine, and most probably, these photos and videos were stolen from Wuxi JACK;
3. IP Intellectual Property is of Vital Importance for Professional Supplier on Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine:
1) Over the past decade, as the eminent Chinese supplier company on Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine, photos and videos of Wuxi JACK at some period were very seriously misused and stolen by competitors: They put our machines photos and videos into their B2B and website, quotation and technical proposal, and claiming it;
2) Wuxi JACK had numerous disputes and legal suits with competitors on their infringement. This maybe a common and unavoidable problem, facing leader of machine supplier in many industries. Wuxi JACK will take more care on protecting our rights, and maintain on providing the top level with reasonable price conventional and CNC Machine on Steel BOX H Beam End Face Milling, for customers in China and other countries.
