THE MACHINE SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY BY SPECIALIZED OPERATORS WHO HAVE
BEEN DULY TRAINED ON THE UNIT.
GBC’s plate bevellers, can perform a welding
prep bevel on 90° edges. There are several
models available depending by the wall thick-
ness of the plate, usable for on-site jobs and
for workshop daily production purposes.
All machines are equipped with an automatic
feeding system, therefore once they are posi-
tioned and locked on the plate edge (models
for beveling the upside and models for bevel-
ing the down side of the plate), the beveling is
performed automatically, with no need of any
intervention by any operator. These machines
are equipped with a comfortable trolley de-
signed ad-hoc, adjustable in height and partic-
ularly useful when working large plate sheets
so that no overhead cranes or other lifting
devices has to be involved in the process.
GBC’s plate bevelers can be divided in two
typologies::
GBC CHALLENGE (12/15)
Locking Range 6-40mm wall thickness . Ad-
justable beveling angle from 22° to 55°, com-
pletely silent, milling head with toothed edge,
high speed beveling without operator inter-
vention.
BASIC EDGE 50 range w.t. 6-60mm
Adjustable Bevel angle da 0° a 90°, high
speed RPM face mill with inserts, high finish-
ing grade and increased material removal
capacity per pass.

depending by the bevel angle, depth of the pass and by the
material of the plate.
Now turn the angle adjusting nut , checking the actual depth on the scale that is engraved on the central
block. In the below charts you can see some examples of beveling passes.

Adjust the
height of the
unit so that
the plate is
positioned
right between
the rubber
wheel (blue
arrow) and the
flat roller
(yellow ar-
row).
The plate to be beveled should be clean from grease and oil in order to
grant the machine an optimal grip. Any welding cap or imperfections
caused by the oxycut will have to be grinded off for because they may
interfere with the machine travel.
Act on the hand
wheel to raise the
PLATE LOCKING
ASSEMBLY until
it touches the plate
and you feel some
resistance on the
hand wheel. Make
another half turn of
the hand wheel and
tighten the orange
LOCKING LEVER
to secure the posi-
tion of the PLATE
LOCKING AS-
SEMBLY.
Move and position the machine on
the plate using the handles making
sure you are approaching the plate
with the side where the plate detect-
ing sensor is located.

While approaching the plate, make sure the wheels of the

When the plate is locked ensure that it is correclty engaging the PLATE DETECTION SENSOR
otherwise the machine will not start.
Always insert the plate from the side of the sensor because the machine moves from letf to right
(view of the operator being behind the machine).
When the plate is locked in position make sure it is parallel to
the ground.
