As the name suggests, roller machines are used to roll, manipulate and shape metal of varying thicknesses and diameters. Plate and section roller machines play an integral role in sheet metal fabrication and despite having similar names each delivers its own distinctive technique. To guide you in selecting a rolling machine specific to your metalwork application is LSG Machine Tools, your preferred engineering and sheet metal machinery supplier.
The Intricate Shaping of Metal by Roller Machines
Roller machines are specialised pieces of equipment consisting of a set of adjustable rollers that are designed to apply compressive force on pieces of metal reforming them to take on a desired shape. Their primary role is to roll thin sheets of metal into cylinders and tubes for several industries. From producing components for HVAC systems to pipes and ducts for construction, several industries rely heavily on this type of equipment.
Whether your metal fabrication aspirations are geared towards reducing the thickness of metal, bending pieces and sheets into cylindrical, curved or conical shapes or creating artistic sculptures and intricately detailed architectural features, these machines are relied upon for their ability to manufacture multiple components. Plate and section roller machines offer a bounty of benefits:
- Unmatched versatility – the ability to handle both thick pieces and thin sheets of various metals
- Precise control – LSG Machine Tools roller machines are equipped with both hydraulic and mechanical systems; they provide superior control and consistency during shaping and forming
- Design possibilities – being able to manipulate metal through multiple rollers pushes the boundaries of metal fabrication’s potential allowing you to create complex shapes and convoluted curves
Transforming Flat Sheets into Functional Marvels
Mastering your rolling machine is a balance of precision and power. Tweaking the parameters produces curves that quaver and pronounced angles that shout. Consistency ensures that each bend belts out the same perfect tune. Unlocking your potential to turn flat metal sheets into intricate sculptures and functional marvels is a testament to your metalworking prowess.
