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.
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.
