Plate Preparation!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Before joints are welded – preparation needs to take place for the best result possible.<\/h2>\n

Here we will look at bevelling as a preparation technique.<\/h3>\n

Edge preparation allows the material to join as effectively as possible, whether it be a butt join, fillet weld or lap joint.<\/p>\n

Bevelled Edge = Not perpendicular to the face of the piece, allowing for an easier and more straight forward weld.<\/p>\n

Plate bevelling machines<\/a> can be used singly or together with a beveller specifically designed to work on the underside of the steel plate.
This increases production efficiency and in turn allows for greater turnover.<\/p>\n

Bevelling is also used to soften the edges of the\u00a0work piece\u00a0for safety reasons, wear resistance and aesthetics.<\/p>\n

Westermans are proud to partner Gullco in providing plate bevelling\u00a0machines<\/a>\u00a0and cutting carriages, with the added benefit of no thermal distortion on mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium plate.<\/p>\n
