Rolling Benefits & Configurations
Acrotech Manufactures One Pass Two Roll Bending Machines
If you have large-volume needs for complete or partial cylinders with little or no flats on the ends, our 2 roll bending machine options will produce your parts quickly and cleanly. This includes polished materials containing large cutouts or perforations! We also offer 2 roll bending machines to roll cones.
The Benefits of our “One Pass” Two Roll Bending Machine
- Roll parts with a minimum of flat on the leading and trailing ends for easier welding and better looking parts.
- Increase production and lower costs because there is no preforming required.
- Roll perforated and other difficult materials without fluting or kinking. Roll prefinished materials (stainless, aluminum, prepaint, etc.) without damaging parts.
- Sheet bending roller machine provides easy set up and operations with excellent repeatability and quick tooling changes.
Metal Roll Bending Machine Construction
There are two basic frame designs: 1) Horizontal 2) Vertical
LD, HD, 1212, 1618 & 1824 Models depict a typical horizontal roll-bending machine. Its major parts include the bottom, urethane-covered roll, the top (steel) roll, and the overarm, which can be opened and closed to facilitate the removal of a finished piece part.
Model V-1006 depicts a typical vertical roll-bending machine. The operation of this machine is basically the same as that of the horizontal one, except that in this case, piece parts are loaded and unloaded vertically. In general, the vertical metal sheet roller bender machine is faster than the horizontal one, but it is limited to rolling piece parts that are shorter.
In every case, steel plate and steel weldments are used in the frame of the industrial metal bending machine. This provides sufficient rigidity and, at the same time, resiliency, necessary to roll parts of varying thickness.
