TFON Bevel Wizard® TF-C 8010 L
The TF-C 8010 L is a plate beveling machine for 4 to 100 mm plate up to 12 m long; it bevels long straight edges of cut plate for welding. Beveling long plate starts with how the plate is supported and moved. The TFON Bevel Wizard® TF-C 8010 L prepares weld edges on plate from 4 to 100 mm thick, at angles from -30° to +80°, on parts from 400 mm to 12,000 mm long. Its sliding table arrangement is designed for long straight edges. It suits production where long plates go through weld preparation.
Before/After
Which job does this machine solve?
- Bevels long plate up to 12,000 mm; the sliding table arrangement is designed for long straight edges.
- 4 to 100 mm thickness range: weld preparation from thinner to heavy plate on the same machine.
- A working angle range of -30° to +80° lets you set the bevel angle defined in the welding procedure.
- Part width from 250 to 1250 mm, minimum part length 400 mm.
- Ø400 mm abrasive drum and a part feed speed of 1.0 to 4.0 m/min.
Frequently asked questions
What reference is the bevel angle measured from?
From the reference stated on the drawing. An angle measured from the cut edge is not the same number as an angle measured from the plate surface, so the reference must be written down. The TF-C 8010 L is set within a working angle range of -30° to +80°.
How are the root face and root gap defined?
Both come from the drawing or the welding procedure; neither can be derived from plate thickness alone. The root face is the unbeveled land left at the foot of the prepared edge and is checked at defined points along the edge, including near the ends. The root gap is the spacing between the parts when they are assembled; the TF-C 8010 L prepares the edge, the root gap is created at assembly.
What part dimensions does the TFON Bevel Wizard® TF-C 8010 L handle?
The TFON Bevel Wizard® TF-C 8010 L works on parts from 4 to 100 mm thick, 400 to 12,000 mm long and 250 to 1250 mm wide. Long plate needs support along the entire working path; the sliding table arrangement is designed for long straight edges, and infeed and outfeed support should be planned in the production layout.
Can one machine both bevel and deburr?
Beveling and deburring are separate operations and one does not replace the other. Beveling deliberately creates a surface at a defined angle on the edge; deburring removes unwanted material. At TFON, beveling is done on Bevel Wizard® machines, deburring and edge rounding on Surfacer® machines.
