Correct option is B
The
plate planer is specifically designed for machining the edges of
heavy steel plates,
pressure vessels, and
armoured plates. It is a specialized type of planer that can handle wide and long workpieces with sufficient rigidity and accuracy. The primary purpose of the plate planer is edge machining, which involves beveling or straight cutting on thick and heavy plates that are commonly used in fabrication industries.
Applications:
· Fabrication of pressure vessels and boilers.
· Manufacturing of armoured plates for defense equipment.
· Shipbuilding and heavy machinery industries.
Key Features:
· Capable of handling extremely large and heavy workpieces.
· Precision edge cutting for preparing plates for welding or assembly.
· High rigidity for maintaining accuracy during machining operations.
