The Critical Points of Selecting Sheet Plate Edge Milling Machine

Want to check the finished beveling quality made by Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine? Please check the lefthand scrolling photos

 

When you select a set of Sheet Plate Edge Milling Machine, what do you need to pay attention to?

 

The Required Longest Beveling Length available in Edge Milling Machine

1) This determines the max. valid horizontal working stroke of Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine);
2) For example, the XBJ-9 model means that, the End Milling Machine has capability of edge milling on sheet metal plates with max. total length of 9000mm, either on single piece of sheet plate, or several pieces of steel plates clamped in a row;

 

2. The Required Chamfers to be Delivered from Edge Milling Machine:

1) Single Head Edge Milling Machine: For finished welding grooves on workpiece, do you need making top edge chamfers only, or both top and bottom edges chamfer on the working parts? Please check the lefthand photos to distinguish. If only or most majority condition is top edge beveling, then XBJ series single head Edge Milling Machine is proper choice;
2) Double Heads Edge Milling Machine: If both top and bottom edges chamfers are necessary, then SXBJ series double heads Sheet Plate Edge Milling Machine is better for your condition;
3) Long Stroke Edge Milling Machine: Meanwhile, suppose the required edge milling length is longer than 9,000mm, such as 15,000mm length, then even if only top edge chamfers involved, we suggest customers to select double heads Edge Milling Machine. This is considered out of productivity.

 

3. Do you have any Special Requirement on Edge Milling Machine?

The above first and second questions and its answers set up the basic skeleton of a set of Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine) for customer; 

Based on that, customers can give your specific requirement, such as:
1) The expected milling angle range of facer blade. The default setting in sheet plate Edge Milling Machine is 0°~45° for top edge beveling, and ~45°~ 0° for bottom edge beveling; In special cases, we can make the tailor made range of ~45°~ +45°, or 0°~80° End Milling Machine for customers;
2) The hydraulic oil cylinder acting workpiece handling unit. This is an especially useful working cell in Edge Milling Machine, when the steel plates to be chamfered is large, thick, and heavy, up to dozens of tons;
3) The HMI (Human Machine Interface) for real time and precise control on edge milling process control in the Plate Beveling Machine.

3. Here, let us just pick up a few of Wuxi JACK competitive edge advantages for exhibition as below. For more powerful and unique capabilities of Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine, please pay a visit to the product web pages of “General Purpose Edge Milling Machine”, and “Advanced Configuration Edge Milling Machine”, and “Double Heads Long Stroke Edge Milling Machine”, and “View More” button at the end of each segment in this web page, on viewing product family of the Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine).

1. Hydraulic Drive Workpiece Automatic Loading and Unloading System in Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine:

Why is Hydraulic Drive Workpiece Handling System So Useful for Customers to Operate the Edge Milling Machine?

This is the unique feature with Edge Milling Machine produced by Wuxi JACK, and welcomed by customers worldwide:

1) Eliminate Hidden Risk: The reason on introducing this unit into End Milling Machine (Plate Beveling machine) is: As we know, carbon steel plate to be beveled usually has large size and heavy weight, which not only needs several people working together for its moving, but also is toilful and dangerous to be pushed into and pulled out of the Edge Milling Machine by manual job;
2) Safe, Reliable and High Efficiency: Now, with this powerful hydraulic drive workpiece pushing and pulling system, all the material handling into and out of the Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine can be completed automatically with oil cylinder drive;
3) Benefit for Customers: This can not only make operation of Edge Milling Machine labor saving, reduces non value added job of supplementary job, but also eliminates the biggest safety hidden risk during running of the End Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine).

2. Conveniently Set Up Precise Target Finished Beveling Angle in Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine:

Why this function of HMI setting making operation process control of Edge Milling Machine much more better?
 

You bet, this is the second exclusive and powerful capability of Wuxi JACK Sheet Plate Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine). Why it matters? 

1) Milling Angle: During working of the End Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine), tilting angle of milling head determines finished beveling angle on edge of workpiece: 0° ~ +45°, 0° ~ +80°, -45° ~ 0°, -45° ~ +45°… You name it;
2) Easy Management: By way of touch screen on HMI (Human machine interface) installed in the door of Edge Milling Machine control board, just key in the target tilting angle, the milling head will be swinged to the set angular position automatically under motor drive;
3) Real Time Display: Meanwhile, there is digital display meter on the top of milling head, instantly showing the real time angular position of milling head during its entire tilting process. This gives the intuitive control on End Milling Machine working process;

4) Value for Customers: All of these functions give the most convenient and the highest degree of precision process control on operation of the sheet plate Edge Milling Machine. Comparatively, the traditional manual job of turning the milling head before beveling step, checking it by eye, which is not only time consuming, but also inaccurate, can be replaced and upgraded into this advanced job in Wuxi JACK Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine).
