A rundown on rolling machines--The type of bending application determines the style of machine and bending capacity needed to do the job

摘要

The best way to determine the best plate or sheet rolling machine (see Figure 1) for the job is to find out what various machines can do. By obtaining this information, you can properly size and select a machine to fit your particular bending application. Of course, for more in-depth information and application engineering expertise, you can contact plate or sheet metal rolling equipment experts directly. Plate or sheet bending rolls are offered in two distinct categories: single and double-pinch, but they may vary in geometry or style. General machine styles are three-roll initial-pinch, three-roll double-pinch, four-roll double pinch, three-roll variable translating, three-roll pyramid, and two-roll systems. Plate rolls are also built in a vertical format for special applications. Matching the most appropriate machine style to the application is important.
