Unlike the time-consuming process of manual forming, a plate roller machine is a cost-effective and quick method of bending metals into complex shapes. When metal needs to be compressed for more uniformity, LSG Machine Tools offers a range of mechanical and hydraulic operating plate roller machines that can form metal at various thicknesses.
What is a Plate Roller Machine?
Forming and finishing raw metal into a sheet requires several tools, among them are plate rollers. A plate rolling machine is specifically designed machinery containing two or more rollers through which raw metal is fed. The purpose of the machine is to compress the raw metal into the desired thickness and shape which is essential for sheet metal fabrication.
Advantages of Plate Roller Equipment
Driven by an electric or hydraulic plate, the amount of force exerted on a plate roller machine allows for the creation of various metal thicknesses and shapes, depending on the specific application. Many industries, such as the automotive and medical sectors, require complex components to achieve a higher degree of accuracy. These parts can be fabricated using plate roller equipment.
How Plate Roller Machines Produce Sheet Metal
- Raw metal is heated up in a furnace and once molten, poured into a mould and left to cool.
- The cooled metal is fed through the rollers.
- Each roller then compresses the metal until it is thinner and more uniform.
- Once the metal sheet has been rolled to the required thickness, it is heated again and allowed to cool. This process is applied to remove any stresses which increase the metal’s strength and durability.
