This equipment shapes flat metal stock into curved or cylindrical forms by passing it through a series of rollers. The configuration and adjustment of these rollers determine the final radius of curvature. A common example of its output is the cylindrical body of a tank or a curved section for ductwork.
The ability to efficiently and precisely form metal into complex curves is essential in numerous industries, from construction and manufacturing to aerospace and automotive. This capability enables the creation of strong, lightweight structures, customized components, and complex assemblies. Historically, metal forming relied on laborious and less precise manual methods. The development of this automated technology revolutionized metal fabrication, enabling higher production rates, improved accuracy, and greater design flexibility.
