Cylinder rolling machine used in the fabrication of metal
structures
Description:
A cylinder rolling machine is a type of equipment used to roll
metal cylinders into a desired shape. Cylinder rolling machines are
commonly used in the metalworking industry to produce cylindrical
shapes such as pipes, tubes, and tanks.
The machine typically consists of several rollers arranged in a
pyramid shape, with the top roller serving as the drive roller and
the other rollers serving as the idler rollers. The metal cylinder
is placed between the rollers, and the top roller is lowered to
apply pressure to the metal, causing it to bend and conform to the
shape of the rollers.
There are several different types of cylinder rolling machines
available, including:
1. Three-roll machine: This type of machine has three rollers
arranged in a pyramid shape, with the top roller serving as the
drive roller and the other rollers serving as the idler rollers.
2. Four-roll machine: This type of machine has four rollers, with
the top and bottom rollers serving as the drive rollers and the
other rollers serving as the idler rollers. The four-roll machine
is often preferred for rolling thicker materials.
3. Profile bending machine: This type of machine is designed to
bend metal into complex shapes and profiles, such as channels,
angles, and curves.
Application:
Cylinder rolling machines are commonly used in the fabrication of
metal structures such as pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels.
They are also used in the manufacturing of consumer products such
as bicycles, motorcycles, and furniture.
Features:
Cylinder rolling machines are designed to roll metal cylinders into
a desired shape, such as pipes, tubes, and tanks. Some of the key
features of cylinder rolling machines include:
- Rollers: Cylinder rolling machines typically have two or more
rollers that are used to bend and shape the metal. The rollers are
often made of hardened steel or other durable materials that can
withstand the stress of bending the metal.
- Drive system: The drive system of a cylinder rolling machine
typically consists of a motor and transmission that powers the
rollers. The motor is often variable-speed, allowing the operator
to adjust the speed of the rollers to match the thickness and
hardness of the metal being rolled.
- Control system: Cylinder rolling machines often have a control
system that allows the operator to adjust the position of the
rollers and the speed of the machine. Some machines have digital
displays that show the position of the rollers and the speed of the
machine.
