3. Central Work Zone of Wuxi JACK Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine:

1) As shown in the above two photos, there are two pairs of edge rounding rollers facing each other, driven with horizontal and vertical oil cylinders, being installed at middle area of the main machine box frame;
2) During edge rounding operation, the workpiece steel plate is held, clamped, and squeezed between these 2 pairs (4 pieces) of edge rounding rollers;
3) Large Plate Secure: The 3 pieces of oil cylinder drive downward pressing edge rounding rollers and its control mechanism, which are unique in the Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine, are assembled onto the 2 pieces of long length horizontal beams. As you can observe from the above photo, the workpiece of this machine, which is a piece of 2,000mm to 3,000mm width large steel plate, is secured firmly between the pressing rollers and base bed;
4) Large Plate Convey: Beneath this piece of steel plate, there are supporting rollers, which are driven with motor reducers installed at later side of the Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine main frame, not only serving as support on the steel plate, but also driving it forward during edge rounding operation, in the edge rounding working speed;

4. Work Theory of Wuxi JACK Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine:

1) Edge trimming and rounding work principle is illustrated as below: (Fig.3)
2) We can see that steel plate is edge rounded in the way of its four edges being squeezed simultaneously, by means of the 4 pieces of in phase revolve edge rounding rollers;
 

3) Middle Press Cylinders in Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine:

a) For this reason, different from workpieces in RH1000 and RH800 small models, which has workpieces steel plate with width less than 1000mm, the large steel in RH1500 to RH3000 large models machines is prone to bulge up at its middle area during edge rounding operation;
b) To avoid such problems, the large plate should be pressed downward and being kept flat by means of pressing rollers shown as below:
c) Large width steel plate being pressed flatly and firmly by means of downward pressing rollers: (Fig.4)

4) Overall Structure of Large Plate Edge Rounding and Trimming Machine:

a) Correspondingly, mechanical main body of RH1500 to RH3000 models should have box frame structure, so that the above mentioned one to three pieces of downward pressing rollers and its driving oil cylinders can be installed at overhead cross beam of machine frame, as shown below:
b) Mechanical main frame of Wuxi JACK RH1500 to RH3000 large steel plate Edge Rounding and Trimming Machine: (Fig.5)

5) Using Site of Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine:

a) As a large scale and heavy duty machinery, RH1500 to RH3000 models see more application at large various large scale production lines, than work as an individual equipment, as you can identify from banner of this page and below:
b) Wuxi JACK RH3000 model Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine is installed together with Stiffener Plate Straightening Machine, at a Shipbuilding production line in China: (Fig.6)

5. Operation on Wuxi JACK Edge Rounding Machine:

1) Work Velocity: Edge rounding operation is either in the fixed speed of 7,000 mm/min., or adjustable by means of A.C. inverter and real time shown in digital meter of operating panel;
2) Function Unit: The entire group of edge rounding working cell, is installed on the 600mm height mechanical base bed of main machine. Adding on the height of edge rounding rollers and oil cylinders itself, such design of operation height conforms to ergonomics requirement for operating the machine, helping operators work comfortably;
3) Operation is by means of operating panel, and hand held pendant:

Put into Use on Wuxi JACK Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine

1. Installation on Wuxi JACK Edge Rounding Machine:

As shown in the above photos, different from RH1000 and RH800 small models, installation of RH1500 to RH3000 large models should have foundation prepared ahead of time. This job is completed by customer, with foundation drawing presented from Wuxi JACK together with machine delivery:
 

1) Foundation of Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine:

The first is to dug out floor pit for mechanical main frame, input and output conveyors of machine. Here the critical control point is finished surface height of conveyor roller tables and edge rounding unit:
a) Foundation is made in a pit. Depth of this pit depends on the finished surface level of the infeed and outfeed conveyors: It should have the same height as that of the other machines operating height of the entire production line,
b) So that during manufacturing period in the production line, workpieces (Steel plate) do not need to be raised and or lowered in the process, guaranteeing the highest productivity and quality delivered from Edge Rounding Machine;
c) After the pit dig, two times of cement pouring is the next step job during machine installation;
d) After cement curing period, anchor bolts are used for securing main frame of Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine into workshop floor pit;
2) The second is to make reasonable layout of all the function units, including control board, hydraulic pump station, as well as routing of cables, oil pipes, and gas tubes, making good advantage of cable bridges and beams, in the entire working zone of the Edge Rounding and Trimming Machine;
 

2. Daily Operation on Wuxi JACK Large Plate Edge Rounding Machine:
