Kuhlmeyer BevelPro Type FF - Weld seam preparation

The Kuhlmeyer Bevel Pro Type FF is designed for the high requirements of weld seam preparation without any critical heat influence on the material/edges. The simple machine concept, with two different table sizes, can be used for grinding and beveling of single-sided bevels and edges.

The Finishing Touch of Quality

In the world of modern welding, “near enough” just doesn’t cut it anymore. As automation takes over the workshop, your seam preparation needs to be spot on. Traditional methods often struggle with the tough stuff—like high-strength or chrome-nickel steels—leaving you with a finish that’s either inefficient or just not up to scratch.

That’s where the Kuhlmeyer BevelPro comes in. Using high-performance belt grinding, it delivers a precise, surgical finish every time. It’s clean, it’s fast, and it’s bloody economical, no matter what grade of steel you’re throwing at it.

Machine Description – Application

The Kuhlmeyer BevelPro Type FF (also known as the Fasen-Fix) is a high-performance belt grinding machine specifically engineered for precise weld seam preparation. It is designed to replace less efficient traditional methods, providing a clean, economical, and precise bevelling solution regardless of steel quality, including fine-grain, high-strength, and chrome-nickel steels

The BevelPro Type FF is the industrial standard for sectors requiring uncompromising edge quality, including:

Automated Welding Lines: Providing the “metallic-blank” surfaces required for high-speed robotic welding.
Specialised Alloy Processing: Ideal for high-strength and chrome-nickel steels where traditional milling reaches its limits.
Heavy Engineering & Shipbuilding: Efficiently bevelling single-sided edges on substantial plate stock.
Steel Service Centres: Offering up to 40% machining time savings compared to conventional milling or roughing lathes.

Basic machine key features

Working Lengths: Available in standard lengths of 1500 mm or 3000 mm.
Workpiece Capacity: Features a motor-driven clamping beam for material thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 80 mm.
Grinding Performance: Delivers a material removal rate of approximately 80 cm³/min with an adjustable feed rate between 0.5 and 5 m/min.
Bevel Precision: Supports grinding angle adjustments from 0° to +60°

Advanced Components

SIMATIC Operation Panel: A pivotable touch-screen panel allows for precise adjustment of the X, Y, and Z axes, feed rates, and oscillation length. It also features an ammeter to monitor power usage relative to material removal.
Grinding Unit: Utilises a 120 x 2300 mm grinding belt with pneumatic tensioning and a 7.5 kW motor. The unit includes an oscillation feature (10–80 mm) to ensure even belt wear and improved cooling.
Clamping System: The machine table includes T-notches for gauges and 150 mm wide clamps with rubber pressure strips to compensate for material thickness tolerances.

Specialised Model Variants

- Type 3.1: The standard configuration for dedicated working lengths.
- Type 4.1: Features open side supports, allowing for the processing and movement of workpieces longer than the machine table itself.
