Taper pole forming machine by PLC control

摘要

On the pipe with large diameter at the bottom and small diameter at the top, commonly known as taper pole, the conventional forming of the taper pole is costly and low productivity. Recently, our research on the taper pole roll forming possible to form the long-sized products whose cross section vary in width or diameter along the longitudinal axis. In order to improve the manufacturing method of taper pole, this study provides the investigation on development of the taper pole forming machine with PLC control system in normal temperature. This study aims at development of the new manufacture technology capable of fabrication in the normal temperature without heating, speeding up of a production rate, and easy formation of a flexible taper pole.
