The Radiator Panel End Cutting Machine is designed for precision cutting of both ends of transformer radiator panels after the edge trimming process.
The machine removes excess material from radiator panel ends and completes the final dimensional shaping before end welding.
With a 1200 kN hydraulic cutting system, center positioning structure, and precision die tooling, the equipment ensures accurate panel dimensions, stable processing quality, and efficient production.
It is an important processing unit in transformer radiator production lines, helping manufacturers achieve consistent radiator panel geometry and reliable downstream assembly performance.

The Radiator Panel End Cutting Machine is installed after the edge trimming process and before end welding.
The typical production sequence is:
Steel Coil Feeding → Hydraulic Mandrel Decoiler → Radiator Panel Roll Forming → Panel Turnover & Joining → Multi-Spot Welding → Dual Seam Welding → Edge Trimming → End Cutting → End Welding → Leveling → Header Pipe Assembly
After rotary edge trimming, the machine performs final end cutting and dimensional correction on radiator panels.
The accurate end geometry ensures proper positioning during the following end welding and header pipe assembly processes.
The machine can cut two radiator panels simultaneously, improving production efficiency and reducing the number of cutting cycles.
The machine uses center positioning through the radiator panel’s formed half-round holes, ensuring accurate alignment based on the actual panel structure.
The 1200 kN hydraulic press system provides stable cutting force for reliable processing of radiator panel ends.
The symmetrical bevel cutting die reduces sudden cutting impact, helping lower vibration, noise, and tooling wear.

310 mm / 480 mm / 520 mm
| Press Force | 1200 kN (120 Ton) |
| Cylinder Stroke | 250 mm |
| Cylinder Diameter | Ø250 mm |
| Pump Motor Power | 11 kW High-Pressure Piston Pump |
| Cutting Accuracy | Diagonal Error ≤2 mm |
| Die Material | DC53, HRC58–62 |
| Die Configuration | 310 / 480 / 520 mm Die Sets |
| Cutting Capacity | Two Panels per Stroke |
| Positioning Method | Center Positioning by Half-Round Holes |
| Control System | PLC + Touchscreen, Automatic / Manual Mode |
Yes. The hydraulic press can process two radiator panels in one stroke, improving production efficiency.
The machine uses center positioning based on formed half-round holes, ensuring stable and accurate panel positioning.
