UZ15 RAPID

The UZ15 RAPID is a professional automatic-feed bevelling machine developed for productive preparation of straight metal edges before welding. Unlike systems that require fixed-angle components to be replaced, the machine provides continuous bevel-angle adjustment from 15° to 50°, allowing operators to adapt the bevel geometry directly to the requirements of the job. beveler.eu

The machine produces bevels up to 15 mm wide and processes material thicknesses from 6 to 40 mm. It is suitable for regular steels up to 60 kg/mm² strength, selected stainless steels, brass, copper and aluminium. Minimum workpiece dimensions are 70 mm in width, 150 mm in length and 6 mm in thickness. beveler.eu

Its integrated automatic feed system moves the machine along larger workpieces at a feed rate of 3.5 m/min, reducing continuous manual guidance and supporting more consistent bevel preparation over longer edges. Smaller workpieces can instead be loaded directly into the machine, allowing both mobile and stationary working methods. beveler.eu

The UZ15 RAPID is powered by a 1,500 W three-phase motor operating at 2,800 rpm. N.KO also emphasizes its extremely quiet operation, making it suitable for regular workshop use where productivity and operator comfort are important. beveler.eu

For more advanced double-sided beveling, the machine can be combined with the optional 3D MANIPULATOR. This system allows the UZ15 RAPID to be rotated by 180° and operated upside down, making it possible to produce X and K bevels without turning the workpiece itself. The manipulator also compensates for floor irregularities, supports height adjustment and can serve as both a stationary working station and a service station. beveler.eu

• Optional 3D MANIPULATOR allows 180° machine rotation for double-sided beveling.

Technical advantages

The UZ15 RAPID combines automatic feed with continuously adjustable bevel angles, giving the operator greater flexibility than systems that require fixed angle kits. The 15°–50° adjustment range allows different welding preparations to be produced without replacing angle-specific machine components. beveler.eu

Its 3.5 m/min automatic feed helps maintain consistent movement along larger workpieces, supporting more uniform edge geometry while reducing operator effort. At the same time, the ability to process smaller material directly through the machine extends its usefulness beyond long plate applications.

When equipped with the 3D MANIPULATOR, the system gains an important production advantage for double-sided bevels. Instead of turning a large or heavy plate, the operator can rotate the machine itself by 180°. This allows X and K bevels to be produced with substantially less material handling and can reduce the need for lifting equipment during preparation. beveler.eu

The manipulator’s floating 3D arrangement also compensates for floor unevenness and provides adjustable working height, while its wheeled construction simplifies machine positioning and service access.

Applications

• Weld preparation on linear metal plates.
• V-bevel preparation.
• Double-sided X and K bevel preparation.
• Processing of regular steel and selected stainless steels.
• Beveling of aluminium, brass and copper.
• Long-edge preparation using automatic machine feed.
• Batch production requiring consistent bevel geometry.
• Workshop fabrication and structural metalworking.
• Applications where reducing manual plate handling improves productivity.
• Stationary or mobile beveling depending on workpiece size and workflow.

Why choose the UZ15 RAPID

The UZ15 RAPID is a strong choice for fabrication environments that need automatic feed, flexible bevel-angle adjustment and repeatable weld preparation in one machine. Its continuously variable 15°–50° angle range eliminates the need to exchange fixed-angle kits for routine angle changes, while the 3.5 m/min feed rate supports productive work on longer plate edges.

The optional 3D MANIPULATOR further distinguishes the system by allowing the machine itself to be rotated for double-sided X and K bevels. This reduces the need to turn heavy workpieces and can significantly simplify production where large plates are involved.

With its combination of 15 mm bevel capacity, automatic feed, quiet operation, stationary or mobile use and support for multiple metal types, the UZ15 RAPID provides a practical balance of productivity, flexibility and controlled edge preparation.
