What Is an Angle Processing Machine?
An angle processing machine is a specialized machine for cutting and bending angles (equal-sided and unequal-sided).
They range from small portable machines that can be brought to work sites and other locations to large machines that are permanently installed in factories and other facilities. Some machines can perform multiple processing operations, such as cutting, bending, notching, V-notching, corner cutting, chamfering, and drilling with a single machine.
Smaller angle processing machines are available in AC-powered and rechargeable (battery-powered) types.
Uses of Angle Processing Machines
Angle processing machines are used in a very limited number of situations because they are dedicated to angle cutting.
However, in manufacturing and construction sites where large numbers of angles need to be processed, the role of dedicated angle processing machines becomes very large and important.
They are efficient when angles of the same size need to be processed repeatedly.
Smaller angle processing machines are also highly portable, making them very useful when machining to size on-site.
How to Select Angle Processing Machines
Angle processing machines should be selected based on the angle size to be processed, the types of processing methods available, whether portability is required, and whether the angle processing machine will be permanently installed.
- Angle Size
Angle processing machines, especially small angle processing machines, may be limited in angle size and should be selected with caution. - Processing Methods
Consideration should be given to which processing method is supported, such as cutting, bending, notching, V-notching, corner cutting, chamfering, drilling, etc. - Portability/Permanent Installation
Selection is based on whether portability is required or whether the pump is to be permanently installed in one location. - Pump Capacity
The capacity of the hydraulic pump in one location should be selected according to the frequency of operation and the impossibility of operation. Whether the main body of the machine and the hydraulic pump unit are of an integrated type or a separate type is also a necessary item in the selection process, as it affects workability.
In addition, when multiple processing methods are used, it is also necessary to select whether the mold needs to be replaced or not, depending on the processing method.
