FMT-600 CNC Aluminium Formwork Trimming Machine | CGMA, Jinan, China

The FMT-600 is a CNC trimming machine designed for refurbishing aluminium formwork panels. Formwork panels that have been used on site often have residue and damaged, sharp, or uneven edges along the side rails. This machine cleans and reshapes them so the panels can go back into service.

The process works in stages. Buffing tools first clean the residue from the side of the formwork. High-speed milling blades then trim the side rails, remove sharp edges, and make the rail flat at the required width. The trimming depth is CNC adjustable, and a dust collector captures all the chips.

It handles panel widths from 100mm to 600mm, and the processing speed is adjustable from 4 to 8m/min with a variable frequency drive. CGMA also lists a heavy-duty automatic buffing machine, a straightening machine, and a water jet cleaning machine, so the FMT-600 can be part of a broader refurbishment set-up.

Why Choose a Dedicated Formwork Trimming Machine?

Aluminium formwork is reused many times, and after repeated use the side rails pick up residue, burrs, and uneven edges. Refurbishing panels is a business in itself, and doing it by hand is slow and inconsistent.

• Cleans first, then trims. Buffing tools remove residue before the milling blades cut, which protects the blades and gives a cleaner result.
• Flat, consistent rails. The milling blades make the side rail flat at the required width and remove sharp edges.
• CNC-set depth. Trimming depth is adjustable through the CNC, so it can be matched to how worn the panel is.
• Adjustable speed. Processing speed of 4 to 8m/min is set by a variable frequency drive.
• Cleaner workshop. Chips go straight into the dust collector.
