UZ18 HardWorker

The UZ18 HARDWORKER is a professional automatic-feed double-sided beveling machine developed for applications where higher cutting force, stable bevel geometry and reliable performance on tougher materials are required. N.KO positions it as one of the most powerful double-sided plate bevelers with automatic feed in its class. beveler.eu

The machine produces bevels up to 18 mm wide and processes material from 6 to 40 mm thick. It is suitable for steel up to 700 MPa, as well as brass, copper and aluminium. Minimum workpiece dimensions are 70 mm in width, 150 mm in length and 6 mm in thickness. beveler.eu

Its continuously adjustable bevel angle from 15° to 50° allows the operator to set the required geometry without replacing angle-specific components. This simplifies setup and makes the machine suitable for varied weld-preparation requirements. beveler.eu

The integrated automatic feed moves the machine along the workpiece at 1.9 m/min, reducing continuous manual guidance and supporting more consistent bevel preparation over longer edges. The machine can operate in both stationary and mobile configurations, while smaller workpieces can be inserted directly into the machine. beveler.eu

The UZ18 HARDWORKER uses a 750 W three-phase motor and a robust worm-gear drive system. N.KO also highlights its quiet operation and durable construction, with a steel machine frame and aluminium-alloy gearbox and cabinet components. beveler.eu

For double-sided bevel preparation, the machine can be combined with the optional 3D MANIPULATOR. This allows the UZ18 HARDWORKER to be rotated by 180° for X and K bevels without turning the workpiece itself. The manipulator also compensates for uneven floors or material deformation, supports working-height adjustment and can be used as a fixed workstation or service holder. beveler.eu

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

Technical advantages

The UZ18 HARDWORKER combines automatic feed, continuous angle adjustment and a robust drive system, giving it the capability to process tougher materials while maintaining controlled bevel geometry. Its 15°–50° angle range can be adjusted smoothly without replacing parts, reducing setup time between different weld-preparation jobs. beveler.eu

The machine’s 1.9 m/min automatic feed supports stable movement along larger workpieces and helps reduce operator effort during long-edge preparation. Its ability to work on large pieces without support, while also accepting smaller workpieces directly, makes it suitable for a broad range of production scenarios. beveler.eu

The optional 3D MANIPULATOR provides a major advantage for double-sided beveling. By rotating the machine itself through 180°, X and K bevels can be produced without turning heavy plates. The quick-connect system allows the machine to be attached or removed from the manipulator within seconds and without tools. beveler.eu

The manipulator’s adaptive arrangement allows the UZ18 HARDWORKER to follow the workpiece while compensating for floor unevenness or material deformation. Large castors, adjustable working height and the option to use the manipulator as a stationary workstation further improve flexibility in industrial environments. beveler.eu

Applications

• V-bevel preparation.
• Double-sided X and K bevel preparation.
• Processing of steel up to 700 MPa.
• Beveling of brass, copper and aluminium.
• Long-edge preparation using automatic machine feed.
• Batch production requiring consistent bevel geometry.
• Workshop fabrication and assembly operations.
• Applications involving tougher materials and heavier edge preparation.
• Production environments where reduced plate handling improves efficiency.
• Stationary or mobile beveling depending on workpiece size and workflow.

Why choose the UZ18 HARDWORKER

The UZ18 HARDWORKER is a strong choice for fabrication companies that need higher beveling capacity, automatic feed and double-sided processing in a robust industrial machine. Its 18 mm bevel width, 15°–50° continuous angle adjustment and suitability for steel up to 700 MPa make it well suited to more demanding weld-preparation work. beveler.eu

Its heavy-duty drive design and automatic feed help maintain consistent machining on longer workpieces, while the optional 3D MANIPULATOR reduces the need to handle or turn large plates for X and K bevels. This can simplify production significantly where heavy material is involved.

For workshops and industrial users that require a durable system with power, repeatability and flexible double-sided beveling, the UZ18 HARDWORKER offers a practical combination of productivity, controlled machining and reduced manual handling.
