Usage and Advantages of Wuxi JACK Double Heads Steel Plate Bevel Edge Milling Machine

1. Strong Capability of Wuxi JACK Double Heads Steel Plate Edge Miller Machine:

 

Installed with 2 pieces of milling heads, double heads machines can:
1) Mills out all types/ angles of welding grooves on straight/ top/ bottom edges of metal steel plate, covering bevel angles of (-45°- 45°)/ (-50°- 25°)/ (-90°- 90°), in the form of single or double sides X type, Y type, K type, top and bottom U type grooves...;
2) The upper and lower beveling operation is implemented with single pass of milling operation, without halfway stoppage for adjustment/ unloading/ reloading steel plates, greatly boosting productivity on edge groove preparation;
 

2. Application of Wuxi JACK Double Heads Edge Milling Machine:

Double Heads Edge Milling Machine is very suitable on simultaneously preparing welding grooves of top/ straight/ bottom bevels, especially for long and thick steel plates. For example:
a) 50° K type groove: (Fig.1)

b) 60° X type groove: (Fig.2)
c) Installed with circular cutter, the machine can also mill out round groove:
Top and bottom R8 round grooves: (Fig.3)

1. Major Work of Double Heads Steel Plate Edge Miller Machine:

1) Bevel Angle: The default (standard) angle is (0°- +45°) for straight and upper (top) bevel, and (-45°- +0°) for lower (bottom) edge beveling;
2) To milling on upper and lower beveling simultaneously, the two milling head should work in pair:
a) The first milling head for straight and upper edge milling;
b) The second milling head for lower edge milling:
c) Shown in below photo, the closer (larger, clearer) head is for lower bevel milling, and the further (smaller) head is for straight and upper bevel milling: (Fig.1)

2. Significance of Widening Bevel Angle in Wuxi JACK Double Heads Edge Milling Machine:

1) With wider range of edge milling angle (0°- +80°), (-45°- +45°), (-90°- +90°)…Any head can cuts out upper and lower bevels individually:
Both of the MU6S milling head can mill out (-90°- +90°) bevel angle: (Fig.2)
2) Benefits: This greatly increase productivity and flexibility in production, and better quality finished bevel;
3. By means of HMI (Human machine interface) function keys, any bevel angle can be set up conveniently:
The HMI, screen, function keys for precisely and conveniently managing on edge milling angle: (Fig.3)

2. Mechanical Frame of Long Stroke Double Heads Edge Milling Machine:

1) Importance: This is the basic skeleton of Steel Plate Bevel Edge Milling Machine. It is composed of base bed and worktable, guarantees on long time high standard operation, especially those models with long stroke (9m and above);
2) Rule: For double heads machine, total length of machine bed is 5 to 6m longer than the valid edge milling stroke. For example, SXBJ-18 model has 24m long mechanical machine bed:
Mechanical frame (Base bed and worktable) of Wuxi JACK SXBJ16 Double Heads Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.4)

3) Workmanship of Mechanical Bed in Wuxi JACK Steel Plate Bevel Edge Milling Machine:

Conceivably, the rigidity/ levelness and linearity of mechanical bed determines durability and precision of edge milling. Its manufacture process involves every step with strict management:
