A.       General View: Usage, Classification, Merits, and Key Function Units of Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine:

1.      Usage of Edge Milling Machine:

1)       Or named as End Milling Machine, or Edge End Beveling Machine, is for making straight or slant end edge beveling on workpieces;

2)       The purpose of chamfering here is to form welding groove with certain angle and blunt size on workpieces, so that subsequent welding operation on workpieces can acquire optimal penetration in the welding;

3)       The common seen beveling fulfilled from Edge Milling Machine can be either straight line X/ K/ V/ Y... Or special type round shape;

4)       Types of frequently produced grooves from Edge End Beveling Machine: (Fig.1)

2.      Classification on End Milling Machine:

According to basic types of workpieces, the End Milling Machine can be separated into:

1)       Pipeline Edge Milling Machine;

2)       Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine--- This group is “Protagonist” in this blog;

3.      Strong Points of Sheet Metal Plate Edge End Beveling Machine:

Compared to the Triple Flame Cutting Machine, which has similar function of sheet metal plate beveling, the XBJ series Sheet Metal Plate End Edge Milling Machine has positive qualities of:

1)       High beveling working speed;

2)       Superior quality of groove formed, no need to deburr after edge milling:

3)       The smooth surface and highly precise V shape groove, produced from Wuxi JACK End Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.2)

4)       Safe, convenient and intuitive operation;

Because of these reasons, the Sheet Metal Plate Edge End Beveling Machine is gradually occupying marketplace over the past decades;

4.      Critical Function Units in Any Set of Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1)       Milling head and Facer Blade in Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine: (Fig.3)

2)       Milling carriage driving and guiding unit in Sheet Metal Plate Edge End Beveling Machine: (Fig.4)

3)       Supplementary function elements, such as milling carriage lubrication pump in the Sheet Metal Plate End Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.5)

4)       Automatic hydraulic drive workpiece loading and unloading systems in the Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine: (Fig.6)

5)       Electric control and operation system of Sheet Metal Plate Edge End Beveling Machine: (Fig.7)

B.       Check List on Selecting a Set of the Most Fitting Sheet Metal Plate Edge End Beveling Machine:

So, how to choose the appropriate models, configurations, and specifications of Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine? Let us review one by one here. It may not cover the full range of issues involved in model decision, but may help you acquiring skeleton of Edge Milling Machine you expect:

1.       Max. Length to be Beveled in Sheet Metal Plate End Edge Milling Machine:

1)       The minimum is 3,000mm, and max. is 18,000mm in conventional model, together with up to 23,000mm in tailor made ones;

2)       This correspond with models of XBJ/SXBJ-3/ 6/.../18, up to SXBJ-21/ 23 models;

3)       Wuxi JACK outdoors running SXBJ-18 (With Max. 18m stroke) Sheet Metal Plate End Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.8)

2.       Finished Groove Types to be Delivered from Sheet Metal Plate End Beveling Machine:

1)       The 3 types of chamfers are: Straight edge (Basic type), upper edge (Common seen), and lower edge (Higher requirement);

2)       This determines applicable quantity of milling head in any one set of the End Edge Milling Machine: Usually one piece of milling head is for making straight and upper end beveling, and the other piece is for making lower end beveling;

3)       In other words, this determines the Edge End Beveling Machine will be a set of single head, or double heads long stroke End Edge Milling Machine;

4)       Different assembling orientations of milling heads for completing straight/ upper versus bottom edge beveling, in Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.9,10)

    

3.       Finished Beveling Angle Range from Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine:

1)       The default standard setting in the Edge Milling Machine is 0°~45°/ 55°;

2)       The special scope can be 0°~80°/ 90°/ -45°~ 45° in the case of special demand from customer;

3)       The 0°~80° milling head installed in Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Plate Edge End Beveling Machine: (Fig.11)

4.      Any Special Requirement on the Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine?

This includes but not limited to:

1)       Just conventional A.C. relay and operating pendant, or with additional HMI (Human machine interface)?

2)       Do customers ask for Wuxi JACK unique owned hydraulic drive workpiece handling system, to have a safe and reliable loading and unloading?

3)       Do customer expect advanced unit for milling head feeding and elevation?...

Usually, these considerations distinguish Advanced Function Edge Milling Machine, from standard configured General Purpose Edge Milling Machine.

C.       Interface on Run In Period of Sheet Metal Plate End Edge Milling Machine:

1.      Significance on Trial Run Period of Sheet Metal Plate Edge End Beveling Machine:

1)       Definition: The running in duration of End Milling Machine normally implies the first three months following acceptance on the equipment;

2)       Importance: In these transition period, proper use on the Edge Milling Machine can guarantee the best degree of performance in the most extent service life: Because it helps forming a habit on operating and maintaining the Edge End Beveling Machine properly;  

2.      Checking List on Run In Period of Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine:

1)       Handover of the Edge Milling Machine from supplier to customer following installation and commissioning;

2)       Training on operator and service staff, as well as testing on qualification;

3)       Make TPM (Total preventive maintenance) plan on the Edge End Beveling Machine;

4)       Production log to trace on performance of the Edge Milling Machine, and problem solving if any.

D.      Summary on Introducing a Set of Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine:

1.       Challenge: As can be observed from the above discussion, to purchase and put into use a set of End Edge Milling Machine involves large workload in the process, which entails knowledge/ skill/ experience/ conscientiousness of planning team;

2.       Wuxi JACK Leading Edge: As the leading supplier on this Edge End Beveling Machine in the market for tens of years, in terms of both quantity and quality of the End Edge Milling Machine, Wuxi JACK has accumulated rich experience/ Empirical data, which helps us maintaining Continuous Improvement, and acquiring the best outcome for customers of the End Edge Milling Machine.
