Movement of Rollers: The key component of an automatic roll forming machine is the roller, which usually consists of two or more wheels installed in pairs. During operation, the rollers can move in horizontal, vertical, or axial directions. The movement of the rollers can be controlled and driven by hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, or electric transmission systems.
Material Loading: The working process of an automatic roll forming machine typically involves placing the billet between the rollers and securing it with appropriate fixtures or devices. During operation, the rollers press the billet placed in the middle and rotate it at a certain speed and force.
Pressing Process: During the pressing and rotating process of the rollers, the billet is subjected to various forces. Firstly, the pressing force of the rollers causes the shape of the billet to start changing and gradually approach the desired shape. Secondly, the rotation of the rollers causes the billet to rotate accordingly. This rotation can improve the surface smoothness of the billet.
Plastic Deformation: The pressing force of the rollers on the billet causes internal plastic deformation of the billet. Through appropriate roller design and selection of process parameters, the billet can gradually achieve the desired shape and size during continuous deformation. As the rollers move, the billet gradually deforms from its initial shape to the desired shape, gaining certain strength and hardness.
Control and Adjustment: An automatic roll forming machine typically has a complete control system that can control and adjust the forming process by adjusting the movement speed of the rollers, the pressing force, and the method of securing the billet. By setting appropriate parameters and operating methods, the finished product that meets the requirements can be obtained.
