Roll Bending Sheet Metal Forming

Hot rolling and cold rolling.

Roll bending sheet metal forming.

For this reason roll bending of metal sheets is one of the chipless sheet metal forming methods. Roll bending or curving as defined here designates the manufacture of sheet metal parts that are rolled or curved into cylindrical shapes or shapes that have a smooth radius associated with them. The metal sheet is not cut and no material is removed. The strip passes through sets of rolls mounted on consecutive stands each set performing only an incremental part of the bend until the desired cross section is obtained.

There are two types of classifications. 1 horizontal 2 vertical. Metal rolling is the process of taking sheets of metal and running them through a rolling machine to reduce thickness and guarantee that the sides are uniform all around. There are two basic frame designs.

Roll forming is ideal for producing constant profile parts with long lengths and in large quantities. The process is performed on a roll forming line in which the sheet metal stock is fed through a series of roll stations. Often several rolls may be employed in series to continuously bend stock. Roll forming also spelled roll forming or rollforming is a type of rolling involving the continuous bending of a long strip of sheet metal into a desired cross section.

Similar to shape rolling but. Roll bending is used if a metal sheet panel is to be given a larger smooth radius which we can only produce in our press brakes with step bending.
