Great to see how these machines are helping to expand capacity, efficiency, and capability for the team at SM Thompson. The ABM-50 continues to prove itself in the field, tackling the toughest bevelling jobs with precision and efficiency. Another solid installation we’re proud to support. We’re proud to share that SM Thompson, specialists in the supply of steel plates and steel profiling in Middlesbrough, have recently invested in our ABM-50 Heavy-Duty Plate Bevelling Machine.
ABM50 produces accurate high-quality, double-sided bevels without thermal distortion or creation of a heat-affected zone on plate thickness range 8-80 mm (15/16 inches – 3 1/8 inches), using a purpose-designed bevelling head with eight 4-sided indexable cutting inserts. Continuously adjustable bevel angle between 15 and 60 degrees (for both top and bottom beveling) requires no tooling to change.
The ABM-50 features an unique remote control panel with LCD display that shows exact bevel geometry as well as enables precise adjustment of spindle speed and feed speed to optimise them depending on material grade incl. stainless steel and aluminum. With this cutting-edge addition, the team at SM Thompson can now:
- Bevel large and heavy steel plates across a wide range of grades
- Prepare stainless and carbon steel plates for rolling with precision
- Boost efficiency, capacity, and future growth
A great investment not only for the business but also for the skilled team, equipping them with the tools to deliver even more for their customers.
