Radiator Panel End Cutting Machine

Radiator Panel End Cutting Machine uses a 1200 kN hydraulic press to trim radiator panel ends with high accuracy. Two panels are cut per stroke with DC53 tooling.

Product Introduction

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.

Die edge

DC53, HRC58–62

Position in Transformer Radiator Production Line

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.

Key Features

  • Two Radiator Panels Cutting in One Stroke

The machine can cut two radiator panels simultaneously, improving production efficiency and reducing the number of cutting cycles.

  • High-Precision Center Positioning

The machine uses center positioning through the radiator panel’s formed half-round holes, ensuring accurate alignment based on the actual panel structure.

  • Hydraulic Cutting System

The 1200 kN hydraulic press system provides stable cutting force for reliable processing of radiator panel ends.

  • Low-Impact Bevel Die Design

The symmetrical bevel cutting die reduces sudden cutting impact, helping lower vibration, noise, and tooling wear.

  • Flexible Die Configuration

Different die sets are available for various radiator panel widths, including:

310 mm / 480 mm / 520 mm
