Roller Design: Cold Roll Forming

Machines Rollers Design Process

 by Believe Industry Group

Cold Roll Forming Machines Rollers are the main parts of a roll forming machine line.
All the profiles formed by the rollers.

Cold Roll Forming Machines Rollers Design Process

The aim is to form the desired profiles within the specified tolerance, with the least
amount of forming steps. Too few forming steps will twist the product. Too many
forming steps will make the cold roll forming machines uneconomical.
Cold Roll Forming Machines Forming Steps

The design first need establish the required forming steps and the number of forming
steps for each bend. For example, a side lip may need 1 , 2, 3, or more forming steps, and
the bending maybe not continuous. For example, a 90 ° lip may be formed in the first 3
forming steps at 30, 60, 90°. And or in the first two steps up to 60°, and the last 30° bend
will be formed in the last pass

Then the designer make a decision of the flow of material. The forming may first bend
the middle bead or the edges if the short slip.

Rollers are also expensive. If the designer suggest too many forming steps, then the
machine will be uncompetitive. On the other hand, less forming steps may result in costly
rollers rework, additional or rollers replacement, high scrap, high assembled time, or
having to discard the complete set of rollers. Believe Industry Company combined Copra
RM Design Software and experienced designer to design and manufacture the roll
forming machine. The machine quality is assured

Flower Diagram

For example, while the design the roll forming machine if the designer elected to form
the section by starting with the center bead, formed in two passes, followed with the out
side lip (three passes) and finally the larger legs in five passes, then the sequence of
forming, split for better clarity. If the cross-sections are superimposed onto each other,
then a so-called “flower diagram” is created The top, side, and three-dimensional
views can easily be generated by the computer. When the designer is satisfied with the
flow of the material, roll design can commence.
