I. Basic Operating Procedures
1. Preparatory Work
Verify that the equipment’s power supply, air source/hydraulic system is functioning correctly and that cutting tools are securely fitted.
Wear protective eyewear, gloves and other safety equipment; ensure the work area is free of debris.
2. Workpiece Clamping
Single-head chamfering machine: Manually position the workpiece on the worktable and adjust the clamping device to ensure stability.
Double-head chamfering machine: Secure the workpiece via the automatic feed rack or positioning mechanism (e.g., hex bolts must be flush against the reference surface).
3. Parameter Settings
Angle adjustment: Set the chamfer angle (e.g., 45°, C-angle, R-angle) via the control panel or manual knob.
Thickness adjustment: For single-head machines, control chamfer thickness by selecting the notch position via the pulley.
4. Initiating Machining
Single-head machine: Press the start button to feed the workpiece at a constant speed to the cutting tool position.
Double-head machine: Activate automatic mode for simultaneous chamfering of both ends (3-6 seconds per piece).
5. Post-Processing
Clear debris, inspect tool wear, and disconnect power/air supply.
II. Operational Differences Between Chamfering Machine Types
1. Type, Operational Characteristics, Suitable Applications
Single-Head Chamfering Machine
Manual loading/unloading with operator-controlled feed rate; suitable for small batches or flexible processing.
Simple workpieces such as round bars or cylinder barrels.
Double-head chamfering machine
Automatic feeding and clamping, CNC parameter adjustment, capable of simultaneous dual-end machining.
High-volume, high-precision components (e.g., automotive parts).
III. Precautions
1. Safety protocols
Never open protective guards or adjust tools while equipment is operational.
Immediately halt operation and inspect in case of anomalies (e.g., excessive heat, unusual noises).
2. Maintenance Recommendations
Regularly lubricate guide rails and replace hydraulic fluid (e.g., No. 46 oil).
Clean saw blades/cutting tools after use to prevent debris accumulation affecting precision.
3. Common Issues
Uneven chamfering: Check tool wear or notch alignment.
Equipment failure to start: Verify power supply connection or control panel status.
