1) Universal Applied Equipment: In Steel Structure Industry, workpieces of H Beam/ I Beam/ BOX Beam/ Other long length structure members need to be machined at its both sides, to get certain degree of surface planeness and gloss, prior to the subsequent next step of welding and or installation. DX series Metal Structure Flange Milling Machine is used for this purpose;
2) The other name of the equipment is: H Beam End Facing Machine;
3) "Higher End" Product: In practical use, there are some stricter demands on performance and function of end facing process, which should be fulfilled with: CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine, and dedicated Facing and Milling Center;
This short blog explores the definition on such Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center, which is composed of sophisticated CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine (In steel structure field, I Beam has the same meaning as H Beam) and some other supporting units, its technical features, and strong points which are beneficial for customers:
What is Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center (Composed of CNC Metal Structure Flange Milling Machine)?
Why there is Demand on Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center (Groups of CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine)?
Constitutes and Technical Overview on Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center;
Application Case of Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center by Wuxi JACK
1) As its name suggests, advanced level Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center consists of several sets of CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine of certain model, and some assisting transportation and flipping mechanisms rotating tables, to fulfil the task beyond the capability of single set of H Beam End Facing Machine;
2) So, we can view the Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center as high end version of H Beam End Face Milling Machine;
2. In this respect, the Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center is similar to Welding Center, which is formed from Welding Column and Boom/ Welding Rotators/ Welding Robots.
1) One set of H Beam End Face Milling Machine can meet mainstream demand on welding metal structure end face milling operation: Make end face milling on one side of workpiece at any certain moment, on a straight end face;
2) Here, the straight end face refers to its plane perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the long workpiece:
2. Special Demand: On the other hand, under some special scenario, there exist certain stricter and more complicated demand on end face capacity of the CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine;
1) Higher positioning precision of workpiece than conventional H Beam End Facing Machine;
2) Higher productivity of end facing operation;
3) End face milling capability on special types of workpieces: The slant side face of H Beam/I Beam, together with varying height of flange;
4) Under such conditions, Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center need to be introduced to meet such personalized requirement from customers.
1. Nature: Various models Milling and Facing Center should be tailor made based on customer demand, varying from case to case;
For example:
1) Main Equipment: Two or more sets of CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine work together. In this way, positioning precision of workpiece on its both end faces can be guaranteed with one time fixation, instead of the second end face positioning and end facing following the first end face;
2) Secure clamping on the special workpieces in such Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center;
3) Besides the basic working capability, these I H Beam End Face Milling Machine should be equipped with more flexible functions…
2. Ok, let’s take a view on a practical case in the next segment.
1. Successful Business Case: In the year of 2014, Wuxi JACK delivered a group of Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center for a customer in Belarus. This customer is in the business of steel structure building construction. The size of cross section is 1,500mm height x 4,000mm width;
1) Raw materials for building roof have slant end face;
2) Cross section of the H Beam has varying width of flange --- In other words, looking at lateral side of the lengthways workpiece, it is an oblique line, rather than parallel line with bottom line;
3) The longest workpiece is 24,000mm applicable for the 2 sets of CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine, while the shortest is 6,000mm;
4) Best degree of precision on end facing, and highest productivity;
a) 2 sets of CNC-DX1540 CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine, which can work together to perform end facing on both sides of the workpiece at the same time;
b) In this way, not only productivity of the Metal Structure Flange Milling Machine is doubled, but also positioning accuracy of workpiece can be made in best condition;
2) Driving: The movement of milling head in horizontal and vertical directions are driven with servo motor;
3) One set of the CNC-DX1540 CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine can travel along heavy duty rails, to cater for varied length of workpiece;
4) The other set of the CNC-DX1540 CNC H Beam End Facing Machine can be turned up to 60°--- So that slant surface of workpiece can be machined. How to realize? This set of CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine is installed on a set of 60° revolving table;
Between these two sets of CNC Metal Structure Flange Milling Machine, there are five sets of hydraulic workpiece rack, for clamping the different length of workpiece firmly;
6) Control: The workpiece logic of entire Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center is managed with PLC.
This group of DX1540 Steel Structure Milling and Facing Center composed of two sets of special made CNC H Beam End Face Milling Machine and 5 sets of hydraulic racks work wonderfully over the past 7 years, and have made great contribution on customer prosperous business.
