Plate edge milling machine is a metal cutting processing equipment. It is a welding auxiliary equipment specially designed for opening weld grooves for steel plates before welding. It is mainly used to mill the edges of plates to ensure the dimensional accuracy of weld grooves before welding. Plate milling machines are mainly divided into automatic walking steel plate edge milling machines, large milling machines and CNC steel plate milling machines.
The principle of plate edge milling machine is to cut and process metal materials through high-speed rotating milling cutters to achieve the required shape and size. The working head of the milling machine is usually controlled by a hydraulic transmission system, which can realize automatic tool change, fast and efficient processing. At the same time, the plate edge milling machine is also equipped with a precise measurement system to ensure the accuracy of the processing size.

Advantages and characteristics of plate edge milling machine
Double-sided processing: equipped with dual heads, it can process both sides of the plate at the same time, significantly improving efficiency;
Automatic operation: supports automatic loading, positioning and movement, reduces manual intervention and reduces labor intensity;
High precision and high efficiency: through CNC system or advanced transmission technology (such as variable frequency speed regulation, independent feeding system), the plate edge milling machine can achieve precise control of groove angle, depth and width, and has high processing efficiency.
Wide adaptability: it can process a variety of materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum plate, etc.) and thickness (6-40mm), meeting the diversified needs of welding, pressure vessel manufacturing and other fields.
Low energy consumption and low cost: adopt frequency conversion technology and optimize structural design (such as vibration absorption process, detachable guide rails) to reduce energy consumption; compared with traditional equipment, the procurement and maintenance costs are lower, and the cost performance is outstanding.
Easy operation and convenient maintenance: the operation interface is friendly, supports customized cutter head interchange and automatic speed change, reduces manual intervention; the structural design is reasonable, easy to maintain and reduce the failure rate.
High stability and reliability: Through heat treatment of the bed, independent hydraulic system and anti-corrosion treatment, the processing accuracy is ensured to be stable, the error caused by equipment vibration or hydraulic aging is reduced, and the service life is extended.
Conclusion
The plate edge milling machine can realize a variety of processing methods, such as cutting, milling planes, etc., and is widely used in construction, automobiles, ships, boilers, pressure vessel manufacturing and other industries, especially as a key auxiliary equipment in welding processes.
