1) This is another strong point of Wuxi JACK DX series H Beam End Face Rough Milling Machine compared with other suppliers, besides numerous excellences of: High power versatile milling head/ Linear guiderail, and CNC models;
2) Common seen models of machine are from DX12xx to DX30xx, referring to the max. end face milling height stroke of 1,200mm to 3,000mm;
3) Any size beyond this range, especially bigger size, poses great challenge to manufacturers;
4) Design and manufacturing on large models machines involves sophisticated design and validation process, strong machining and assembly capability.
1) Upright Column: With increasement on vertical end face milling stroke, so is the potential risk of upright column defection and swing, because of its insufficient strength and rigidity if not proper designed and produced;
2) Potential Risk on Performance:
a) Insufficient rigidity upright column may bring along problems of uneven finished end face milling surface on workpieces, and inferior end milling quality:
b) With increase of column height, so as increase of potential probability of “Milling Head Dodge” --- This means the upright column take the milling head away from workpiece during end face milling operation of Steel structure BOX H Beam Large End Face Milling Machine, leading to insufficient milling depth, and thus inferior end milling quality;
3) Safety Hazard and Measure Taken:
a) Growing more seriously, flabby upright column may lead to safety issues to operators, when operating on these heavy duty machines;
b) When loading and unloading large and heavy steel structure workpieces onto and off these Large Beam End Milling Machine, operator teams should be extremely cautious;
c) Accordingly, there are series of measures taken by Wuxi JACK team, during designing and manufacture on the large machines: Special made erected column/ Counterweight inside the Column/ Special made Elevating Nut/ Staircase and working platform with guardrail…
1) Carefully Calculated and Validated Design:
a) In Wuxi JACK large models machines, cross size sizes of upright columns are specifically enlarged and strengthened:
b) For example, 1700mm x 1800mm cross section size for upright column of DX6080 large model, in the integral appearance form of trapezoidal transition, improving on stress condition for performing on high speed two dimensional running of the milling head, during operating period of large models machine;
a) To fully guarantee on its strong and sufficient firmness, the upright column is made into shape of inclined type, making its heavy duty bottom segment of enlarged cross section;
b) The entire piece of upright column is integrally heat treated after being welded into shape;
c) The connecting boards between machine bed and column, as well as between column and milling carriage, also have augmented dimension;
d) In all, the upright column in large models machines have large cross section of bottom segment for solid base, and oblique top segment. Such design of upright column has the best degree of rigidity, which has sufficient bearing capacity and good appearance;
1) Upgrade:
To meet demand on fulfilling end face milling on large dimension workpieces, several critical parameters are updated:
a) Spindle rpm of face milling head: Being raised to 75~ 505 rpm, from 75~ 420 rpm;
b) Travel limit of face milling head spindle: To L= 250 mm, from 100 mm;
c) Milling Head Tilting Angle: To -45°~ +45°, from 0°~ +45°;
a) Raw materials are 20~ 30mm thickness steel plates and section steels;
b) The sub-assemblies of machine bed and columns are made from integral parts and heat treated integrally;
c) Cross section of upright column is the most critical parameter for getting successful heavy duty machine, which are specifically enlarged;
a) Horizontal transmission is by means of gear and rack, connected together from 5,000mm segment each piece;
b) Vertical transmission is by means of integral piece of leadscrew.
For models from DX40xx, which means the max. up and down end face milling stroke is 4,000mm, power of the equipped milling head is raised from 7.5kW to 9.3kW or even 11kW, to fully guarantee on efficiency and cutting depth of end face milling on large steel structure working parts:
1. Higher Manufacturing Cost: In view of production system control, special model equipment has higher manufacturing cost and longer lead time, and hence higher selling price of the machine;
2. Engineering to Order: In view of supply chain management, producing Large BOX I H Beam End Milling Machine is engineering to order, which entails harder work of technical experts;
3. Developing Process of Special Sized models: This involves 10 steps of: Design/ Validation/ Pilot/ Machining/ Fabrication/ Assembly/ Factory Commissioning/ Shipment/ Installation/ Commissioning on the machine;
4. Workmanship of components and sub-assembles is vital for successful running on H BOX Beam Face Rough Milling Machine, especially special models of the equipment;
5. Wuxi JACK is good at and takes lead in industry on developing small and Large Beam End Milling Machine, especially tailor made models
According to sizes and cross section shape of workpieces, Wuxi JACK DX series BOX I H Beam Face Rough Milling Machine can be divided into 5 branches of:
1. Small to Standard Size: The corresponding max. end face milling height stroke is from 800mm to 1500mm: DX08xx to DX15xx;
2. Medium to Large Size: The corresponding max. vertical end face milling size is from 1500mm to 2000mm: DX15xx to DX20xx;
3. Heavy duty Large Beam End Milling Machine: The corresponding max. vertical end face milling size is from 2000mm to 6000mm: DX20xx to DX60xx;
1) This series is developed by Wuxi JACK for milling on special and circular cross section shape workpieces;
2) The max. vertical end face milling size is from 800mm to 3500mm: CNC-DX08xx to CNC-DX35xx;
1) Being developed for implementing on both ends of working parts end face milling simultaneously, available on oblique and or special cross section steel structure members;
2) Milling and Facing Center is composed of 2 to several sets of tailor made CNC BOX I H Beam End Milling Machine and workpiece clamping racks.
1) Specification: The max. up and down end face milling stroke is from 4000mm to 6000mm, the Corresponding Series is from DX40xx to DX60xx;
2) Wuxi JACK Position: Only very small percentage of Chinese company has real capability on developing heavy duty large models of the machine. Wuxi JACK is leading supplier on it. Our best selling and classical models are: DX4080/ DX4060/ DX5080 / DX6080;
3) Safe Operation: Due to large size and heavy weight of both machine and workpiece, installation/ operation/ maintenance of heavy duty Large Beam End Milling Machine all need special attention;
4) Milling Head Power for large models machine: Powerful 7.5kW / 9.3kW / 11kW;
5) Workpiece Racks: Because of sufficient heavy weight workpieces, hydraulic drive clamp unit is not necessary for large models machine. Customers just need to prepare on workpiece loading platform, shown in the left hand photos.
