【plate Edge milling machines 】Three major categories & Technical advantages

The plate Edge milling machine is a welding auxiliary equipment that uses the high-speed milling principle of the cutter disc to open the weld groove for the steel plate before welding. The plate Edge milling machine mills the edge of the plate through the high-speed rotating cutter disc, and is specially used for bevel processing before welding (such as bevel, straight edge, U-shaped, etc.).

The working principle of the milling machine is to use the high-speed rotation of the cutter disc to cut the edge of the plate through the tool to achieve high-efficiency and high-precision edge processing, and can process both sides of the plate at the same time (such as double head design).

Three major categories of plate Edge milling machinesThe plate Edge milling machine is mainly used for edge processing of metal plates to form the groove required for welding. Its main types are divided into automatic walking milling machines, large milling machines, CNC steel plate milling machines, etc.

​Automatic walking plate Edge milling machine

This type of plate Edge milling machine is a small and easy-to-operate equipment that can be moved for operation, which improves flexibility. It uses the milling principle and automatic walking function to perform milling bevel operations on steel plates with a thickness of 6-60mm and unlimited length and width.

Large plate Edge milling machine

Large plate Edge milling machine uses hydraulic cylinder to press the workpiece on the workbench, and controls the groove angle and groove depth of the steel plate by adjusting the milling head angle and Y and Z axis stroke at the rear. This type of plate Edge milling machine has a long milling stroke and strong spindle milling force, which is suitable for milling or beveling of long plates.

CNC steel plate Edge milling machine

This type of plate Edge milling machine uses hydraulic method to fix the steel plate. The rear milling power spindle has automatic rotation angle and automatic material blocking function. The control panel only needs to enter a few key parameters for automatic beveling and milling.

CNC steel plate Edge milling has a high degree of automation, simple operation, accurate groove accuracy, high production efficiency and safety, and is suitable for automatic beveling of medium and short plates.

Technical advantages

High efficiency: The single processing speed can reach 30 meters/10 minutes, which significantly reduces labor intensity;

High precision: One-time forming, no need to clean burrs twice, and high surface finish;

Low energy consumption: Compared with traditional equipment, it consumes less energy.

Conclusion

Various types of plate Edge milling machine are widely used in boiler and pressure vessel manufacturing industries, shipbuilding, electric power, petroleum, chemical machinery, and engineering machinery manufacturing. They can process various types of medium and low carbon steel plates, stainless steel plates, and aluminum plates before welding, such as bevels, straight edges, and U-shaped grooves.
