Work Principle of Wuxi JACK I H Beam Flange and Plate Edge Rounding Machine

Illustration on edge rounding principle: (Fig.3)

1. Work Cavity being Formed in Edge Rounding Machine:

1) Core Unit: As you can check from above the sketch, there are two pairs of edge rounding rollers installed at left and right sides, inside the machine central work zone;
2) Each pair of the edge rounding rollers has top and bottom one piece of roller each, thus forming a cavity for edge rounding, and workpiece (Plate, I H Beam) moves through this cavity during work, in working velocity:
3) Front view on edge rounding cavity and small plate in it for processing: (Fig.4)
4) In this way, the four pieces of edge rounding rollers form up a “soft” cavity, ready for implementing on edge rounding operation on workpieces;
 

2. Drive on Horizontal Movement of Rollers in Plate and I H Beam Flange Edge Rounding Machine:

1) Drive Mode: The bottom edge rounding rollers are driven with cycloidal gear motor for its movement along guide bush, accommodating on different width of workpiece;
2) Or, in other words, in one set of the machine, there are 2 sets of cycloidal gear motors, being installed at left and right side of the machine mechanical frame respectively, for driving both sides of the bottom edge rounding rollers along horizontal direction;
3) Lateral view on bottom edge rounding rollers and its drive motors in mechanical base bed of Wuxi JACK RH3000 large model Edge Rounding Machine: (Fig.5)
4) During work, the two pieces of bottom edge rounding rollers revolve, driven with the cycloidal gear motors, and thus in turn drive its top edge rounding rollers into revolve;
 

3. Continuous Edge Rounding Operation in I H Beam Flange and Plate Edge Rounding Machine:

1) The critical component is edge rounding rollers: (Fig.6)
2) During operation, workpiece (Steel plate, H Beam) moves forward, going thru this edge rounding cavity, with its top and bottom 4 edges to be trimmed and edge rounded simultaneously, fulfilling the task of deburring and edge rounding:
3) Local close up view on working moment of Wuxi JACK RH model End Plate Trimming Machine: (Fig.7)
4) This may remind you work principle of H Beam Straightening Machine. Definitely, there is something similar between the two types of machines;
5) Working velocity on edge rounding can be either constant, of typical set up of 7000mm/min., or, under customer requirement, controlled with A.C. inverter, to be continuously adjustable.
