Beveling machine processing flow

Bevelling machine is an advanced equipment for metal processing, widely used in welding, shipbuilding, machinery manufacturing and construction industries. The main function of the beveling machine is to bevel the edge of the metal workpiece in order to facilitate subsequent welding operations. The groove treatment helps to improve the quality of the welded joint and ensure the strength and tightness of the weld, thus extending the service life of the product. In order to further understand the processing flow of the beveling machine, this paper will elaborate its working principle, each link and precautions.

First, the working principle of the beveling machine

The basic working principle of the beveling machine is to cut the metal workpiece through a rotating tool to form the required Angle and width of the beveling. The shape and size of the groove can be adjusted according to different welding requirements. Bevelling machine is generally electrically driven, and its cutting tool material is usually high-speed steel or carbide, with good wear resistance and cutting performance.

Second, the processing flow of the beveling machine

1. ** Preparation **

Before the groove processing, the corresponding preparation work must first be carried out. This includes:

- ** Equipment check ** : Check whether the indicators of the beveling machine are normal, including power supply, tools, worktables, etc. Ensure equipment is in good working order.

- ** Tool preparation ** : Select the right tool according to the processing requirements to ensure that the tool is sharp and intact. Prepare other tools, such as measuring tools, jigs, etc.

- ** Workpiece cleaning ** : Clean up the processed metal workpiece and remove the oil, rust and impurities on the surface to ensure the quality of groove processing.

2. ** Workpiece fixed **

The workpiece must be firmly fixed on the beveling machine to prevent displacement or vibration during processing. The fixture is usually used for fixing, and the selection and design of the fixture should be determined according to the size and shape of the workpiece. In the fixing process, it is necessary to ensure that the pressure of the fixture is moderate, so as not to cause the workpiece.

3. ** Set processing parameters **

Before beveling, processing parameters need to be set according to the material, thickness and groove requirements of the workpiece. These parameters include:

- ** Tool speed ** : According to the material of the tool and the hardness of the workpiece material, select the appropriate speed. Too high speed may lead to faster tool wear, and too low speed may affect machining efficiency.

- ** Feed speed ** : The selection of feed speed should take into account the characteristics of the workpiece material and the ability of the processing equipment. Too fast feed speed may lead to poor cutting, too slow may affect the processing efficiency.

- ** Cutting height ** : Set the cutting height according to the requirements of the groove, and the cutting height should be moderate to ensure the quality and processing efficiency of the groove.

4. ** Groove processing **

After the preparation work is completed, the beveling can begin. The processing process is generally divided into several steps:

- ** Initial cutting ** : Start the initial cutting at the set tool speed and feed speed. At this time, pay attention to observe the cutting condition to ensure smooth cutting.

- ** Monitoring the processing status ** : During the processing process, monitoring the wear of the tool and the processing status of the workpiece. If any exception is found, adjust parameters or replace tools in time.

- ** Adjust cutting parameters ** : According to the actual processing situation, the tool speed and feed speed can be properly adjusted to ensure the quality of the groove processing. In addition, the cutting temperature can be reduced through the use of cutting fluid to improve the service life of the tool.

5. ** Check the quality of the groove **

After processing, it is necessary to check the quality of the groove. The main inspection contents include:

- ** Groove Angle ** : Use a protractor or measuring tool to measure the Angle of the groove to ensure that it meets the design requirements.

- ** Groove width ** : Check whether the width of the groove reaches the predetermined value to ensure that a good weld can be formed during welding.

- ** Surface roughness ** : The surface roughness of the groove is measured by the roughness meter to ensure that it is within an acceptable range.

6. ** Post-processing **

If post-processing is required after groove processing, such as deburring, cleaning, etc., it should be carried out at this time. Common post-processing methods include:

- ** Deburring ** : Use deburring tools or sandpaper to trim the edge of the groove and remove the burrs generated during processing to ensure the smoothness of the groove.

- ** Cleaning ** : Use a cleaning agent to clean the groove and remove the metal chips and cutting fluid on the surface to prevent the impact of subsequent welding operations.

7. ** Record and feedback **

After finishing the groove, it is necessary to record the parameters and quality inspection results during the machining process. These records can provide a reference for subsequent processing and can also be used as a basis for product quality. At the same time, according to the experience and feedback in the processing process, the processing process is adjusted and optimized in time to improve the future processing efficiency and quality.

3. Precautions in beveling processing

In the process of groove processing, there are several key points that need special attention to ensure processing quality and stability:

1. ** Stable operation ** : During the operation of the beveling machine, the tool speed is high, and the operator needs to wear stable protective equipment, such as goggles, gloves, etc., to ensure stability.

2. ** Regular maintenance ** : Regular maintenance and maintenance of the beveling machine to extend the service life of the equipment and ensure the stability of processing.

3. Reasonable selection of cutting parameters ** : According to the characteristics of the material and the actual situation of processing, reasonable selection of cutting parameters to reduce tool wear and improve processing efficiency.

4. Control of the processing environment ** : Keep the processing environment clean and well ventilated to avoid the impact of metal chips and cutting fluids on equipment and operators.

** Learning of relevant knowledge ** : operators need to constantly learn and master new processing technologies and knowledge to improve their operational level and ability to cope with complex processing situations.

### IV. Summary

Beveling machine plays an important role in metal processing, its processing process involves a number of links, each link has a direct impact on the final processing quality and efficiency. Every step from preparation to post-treatment needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the high quality of the groove processing. At the same time, the operator should have the appropriate knowledge and skills, and carefully abide by the stable operation procedures to ensure its own stability and the normal operation of the equipment. With the development of science and technology, the technology of beveling machine is also improving, and the future beveling processing will be more efficient and accurate.
