The JMT 3 roll hydraulic plate rolls are machines just as packed with features as our 4 roll machines, but at a considerable cost savings. This range of plate rolls encompasses 6 foot 8 inches width capacity to 13 foot 5 inch capacity, with a thickness range of one quarter inch to one and three eights inch thickness. Main standard features of the 3 roll machines are a heavy duty machines base induction welded with stress relieved welds, side rolls are electronically positioned and synchronized by a plc. and high end precision digital scales. Automatic roll peripheral speed compensation, providing optimum distribution of torque among all 3 rolls. All rolls are seated in spherical bearings, top roll hydraulic opening device (drop end) creates an easy “pull out system.” Side rolls up to 17.4 inches are hydraulic motor driven while side rolls larger than 14.7 inches are come standards with rectilinear guides driven with a combination of hydraulic motors and planetary gear boxes.
The Single Initial Pinch Rolls or Initial Pinch Plate Rolls can be used for smaller capacities and may be either electro-mechanically or hydraulically. The upper pinch roll is fixed in place. However, the lower pinch roll can be moved up/down to pinch the material. The third roll, the forming roll, is also adjustable. These are more cost-effective, but may require more labor in a production environment.
Choose the plate roll that performs your work fastest, with minimal intervention. They are not well-suited to the job shop because 2-Roll machines only have one purpose. Most job shops and plate production facilities have many different types of initial pinch, 3 and 4 roll machines. A simple round section can be cut with the initial pinch or the 3 Roll Double-Pinch Design. However, complex geometry should be handled by a Variable Translating Machine or 4-Roll machine fitted with CNC Controls. It is easy to choose between these choices:
Not all plate metals are made the same way, meaning certain operations can’t be easily bent with typical rolling machines. Thus, there’s a broad range of plate rolling machines, so you have different options to exhaust depending on the complexity and peculiarity of your client’s orders. Some of the common plate rolling machines includes;
Our four-roll plate roller machines are faster, more productive, safer, easier, and safer to use than our 3-roll plate rolling machine. They are also less dependent on operator competency. Our four-roll bending machines are the best choice if you're looking for the fastest, most accurate plate rolling machines.
A plate roll machine can be used to roll different types of sheet metal into various shapes, including round, semi-round, and conical. Some machines are also capable of rolling flat materials. This machine has a working mechanism that can bend flat sheet metal into large arcs or cylinders, or squares, ellipses, and multi-sectional arcs. The rolls are placed in a pitching position using a series of strong, hardened rolls that can be powered either mechanically or hydraulically. After the material has been secured between two rolls, a third or sometimes fourth roll is used to push the material into the desired shape. This is called the pre-bend. The material is then pulled through the pinched rolls, past the pushing rolls, and the rolls begin to turn forcing an arc.
Each project will have a unique type of plate-roll machine, as not all rolled metals work the same. The market offers a variety of plate rolling machines. Your customer's unique requirements and complexity should determine the type of equipment that you select. These machines are the standard for metal rolling:
Because not all rolled steels are the same, each project might require a specific type of plate rolling machine. There are many plate rollers available on the market. It is important to consider the specific requirements of each customer when choosing the equipment. The following are examples of standard metal rolling machines:
Our MRB–E range of powered slip rollers are affordable machines for light gauge (sheet) metal. Additional accessories include hardened rolls, ground rolls, and digital readouts. You can find out more about the popular power driven slip rolling machines here.
Plate Rolling is a unique process whereby a sheet of steel, aluminum, stainless or other material is formed into circular or other shapes by force through a set of powered rollers. Machines consisting of 2 to 4 roll sets press, engage and form the material through force of electrically, mechanically or hydraulically driven means. It involves the rolling of flat sheet metal to create cylindrical items such as pipes, tanker trailers, buckets, and pressure vessels.
Flexible Rolls for Different Needs. We offer two plate roller lines that can be bent to fit your needs. Find out more by clicking the link below.
New plate rolling machines offered by Bud’s are the “tough guys” in the neighborhood, having been put into the ring via cutting edge engineering and new manufacturing technology. With the use of design technology such as parametric 3-D analysis and mechanical and kinematic analysis, you have to know our machine bases are as good as they get. From 40 inches long, weighing in at a svelte 485 pounds, to its distant cousin of 161 inches long, weighing in at a less-than-svelte 124,000 pounds, Bud’s Machine Tools offers no less than 125 different models of sheet and plate rollers, from simple light-gauge 3-roll machines, to massive 4-roll plate rolling machines.
There are three basic types of bending on a press brake, each is defined by the relationship of the end tool position to the thickness of the material. These three are Air Bending, Bottoming and Coining.
Steel plate rolling involves passing a piece of steel plate through one or more pairs of rollers in order to reduce the overall thickness of the material. This process also ensures that the workpiece thickness is unchanging throughout.
The range includes three models suitable for bending thin plates: HCU, two-roll bending roll with high speed and very high productivity, the ASI three-roll initial pinch bending roll and model 3HEL, electronic three-roll pyramid bending roll with double pinch.
1. DC Series Motor. Since it has high starting torque and variable speed, it is used for heavy duty applications such as electric locomotives, steel rolling mills, hoists, lifts and cranes.
