Roll Bending Sheet Metal Forming

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.

Roll bending sheet metal forming.

Roll forming roll forming sometimes spelled rollforming is a metal forming process in which sheet metal is progressively shaped through a series of bending operations. Roll forming of sheet metal is a continuous manufacturing process that uses rolls to bend a sheet metal cross section of a certain geometry. 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. 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.

1 horizontal 2 vertical. 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. The metal sheet is not cut and no material is removed.

For this reason roll bending of metal sheets is one of the chipless sheet metal forming methods. There are two basic frame designs. Often several rolls may be employed in series to continuously bend stock. Similar to shape rolling but.

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.
