Wadley B5050 Mechanical Shaping Machine Tool

The B5050 is a vertical mechanical shaper designed for efficient metal cutting and shaping (slotting, keyways, flat faces and profiling). It's used in machine shops and industrial manufacturing for precision shaping of ferrous and non‑ferrous workpieces.

Important specs: max slotting length 500 mm; worktable size 1000 × 660 mm; ram vertical adjustment distance 430 mm; table rotary feed range 0.052–0.783 mm; vertical/horizontal table power feed range 0.1–1.2 mm; motor power ~7.5 kW; machine weight ~10,000 kg; overall dimension 3480 × 2085 × 3307 mm.

The machine supports multiple supply voltages: 220 V, 380 V or 440 V. Choose the correct configuration at order/installation to match your site supply.

It is suitable for a wide range of metals, including mild and alloy steels, cast iron, brass, bronze and aluminum. Material hardness and cutter selection will affect cutting parameters and tool life.

The B5050 uses a hydraulic transmission mechanism with a sliding pillow for reciprocating motion and hydraulic feed for the working table. Ram and table movement speeds are continuously adjustable, and hydraulic feed provides instant return after a cut.

The worktable offers three-directional feeds — longitudinal, transverse (horizontal) and rotary — allowing multiple surfaces to be machined in a single clamping operation.

The machine is built for high precision shaping suitable for detailed metal work. Absolute tolerances depend on tooling, fixturing, and setup; contact the manufacturer or supplier for machine-specific tolerance data and test reports.

Typical industrial safety provisions include emergency stop, machine guards, hydraulic safety/overload protection and proper grounding. Exact fitted safety features may vary by supplier—confirm specific safety devices at purchase and follow local safety standards.

Deliverables commonly include the machine, operator/manuals, machinery test reports and video inspections (as stated), basic clamping tooling and small spare parts. Packaging and accessories depend on the supplier and order options.

Due to its weight (~10,000 kg), the B5050 requires a reinforced floor or dedicated foundation, proper lifting/rigging for placement, a compatible power supply (220/380/440 V), good site grounding and adequate clearance for operation and maintenance.

Routine maintenance includes daily cleaning and lubrication of slideways, periodic inspection/change of hydraulic fluid and filters, checking gearbox oil and bearings, verifying alignment and feeds, and replacing worn tooling. Follow the supplier’s maintenance schedule for intervals.

Yes. The product documentation specifies that machinery test reports and video inspections are provided to verify performance before shipment or acceptance.

Core components such as bearings and gearbox parts are generally available as spare parts. Warranty terms, duration and after‑sales support vary by supplier—confirm spare parts availability and warranty details when ordering.

Yes. Common customizations include selecting the incoming voltage, optional fixtures, special tooling, protective covers and other accessories. Discuss specific customization and optional packages with the supplier.

Suppliers typically offer commissioning and operator training (onsite or remote) as part of delivery or as an add‑on service. Confirm training scope and costs with your supplier to ensure safe, efficient startup and operation.
