Thin sheet forming roll, sheet forming machine, and sheet forming method

摘要

A thin sheet forming roll comprises a metallic elastic external cylinder (102) comprising a metal tube capable of elastic deformation, a shaft portion (103) for closing both ends of the metallic elastic external cylinder (102), and a cooling fluid (104) filled under an internal pressure into the metallic elastic external cylinder (102). When a melt resin from a die of an extruder is pinched between the roll and an opposite roll, that part of the metallic elastic external cylinder (102) which is pressed against the melt resin changes into a shape adapted to the outer diameter of the opposite roll, because the metal tube of the metallic elastic external cylinder (102) is elastically deformable against the pressure of the cooling fluid. Thus, a smooth thin sheet free from bank marks is formed. IMAGE
