V-Grooving · ADRK Series

Vertical V-Grooving Machine

Servo-controlled grooving in a compact vertical platform, with multi-tool cutting and pneumatic clamping.

Technical specifications

ADRK technical specifications

For the ADRK 3200 × 1250, the main servo motor is rated at 4.4 kW and the hydraulic system operates at 6–8 MPa. Select the row for your sheet size and check the groove depth, edge distance and thickness with a sample of your material.

Grooving inputs

Plan your sheet and groove workflow

Vertical orientation changes support and access, but groove geometry, residual thickness and the downstream bend remain the primary inputs.

Material and finish

Provide material, thickness, surface finish and flatness together with any handling limits for the side-standing sheet.

Sheet and floor space

Define sheet length and width, loading route, support needs, machine envelope and service access.

Groove specification

Record depth, angle, residual thickness, direction, edge distance, pass plan and cutter geometry.

Production and safety

Confirm batch mix, program storage, chip handling, guarding, light protection, downstream bend and acceptance measurement.

Product systems

Inside the vertical V-grooving system

ADRK processes a side-standing sheet with programmed positioning and tool motion. Assess support, clamping and access for the actual panel size and finish.

Side-standing sheet layout

Support the panel in its working position

The ADRK arrangement processes the sheet in a side-standing orientation. The frame and supports establish the working reference while allowing access to the panel.

Assess the complete installed footprint, loading method and panel support. Space and handling needs depend on the actual sheet format.

Backgauge and clamping

Backgauge

Set the groove reference

The backgauge establishes the programmed groove position.

Review the required groove positions and sheet reference on representative panels.

Distributed sheet clamps along the V-grooving working area

Clamping

Hold the sheet reference

Distributed pneumatic clamping maintains the sheet reference during grooving.

Review flatness, contact points and clamping zones. Check cleaning access and possible surface marking.

Progressive tool sequence

Cutting tools for an ADRK vertical grooving machine

Cut the specified groove geometry

The documented arrangement uses four tools in a progressive sequence. Cutter geometry, condition and the selected passes determine the groove form and remaining thickness.

Six-tool or special-groove arrangements require a defined configuration. Feed and return speeds describe machine motion, not the complete job time.

Servo control and operating access

Control system of an ADRK vertical CNC grooving machine

Servo control

Coordinate travel and depth

The program defines groove positions and depth while servo axes coordinate travel and tool motion.

Review diagnostics, limits and pressure or load monitoring. External-data and robot connections depend on the ordered system.

Cleaning chips from the grooving worktable beside the clamps

Operating access

Reach tools and cleanup areas

Operating access must accommodate tool work and chip cleanup around the panel.

Review service and cleanup positions together with the intended panel-handling route.

Panel and formed-corner trial

Panel trial

Inspect the prepared groove

A representative panel tests support, clamping, tool sequence and depth control.

Inspect groove geometry and remaining thickness using the agreed material, finish and drawing.

Formed-corner trial

Review the final bend

Inspect the formed corner after bending the prepared panel.

Define inspection points and the acceptable corner and surface result before sample review.

ADRK models and configuration options

Use the selected ADRK model row for motor, dimensions and motion values; confirm any optional arrangement.

Model Data

Use the exact ADRK model data for the selected size, including 4.4 kW motor values and listed dimensions.

Configured Options

Special grooves, six tools, light protection, loading, chip collection, MES and robot interfaces require confirmation.

Confirm Before Ordering

Confirm sheet support and finish, groove geometry, pass plan, residual thickness, tool criteria and downstream bend acceptance.

Before start-up

Installation and commissioning

Prepare utilities, lifting and the installation area, then coordinate start-up and handover.
