4-Roll Plate Bending Machine
The 4-roll rolling machine is able to pre-bend the plate ends and then roll it into specified shapes with one time loading without the need of reversing the plate. It shows excellent rolling result with the CNC control system. Its working rolls are all driving rolls, with the lower rolls and two side rolls performing vertical motion under hydraulic power. This plate rolling machine is applicable in bending steel plates and rolling plates into cylindrical, arc or conical workpieces, with high rolling accuracy and high working efficiency. Besides, steel plate can be roughly flattened by this machine.
Plate rolling process diagramWith a rectilinear guide system, the forming rolls are transmitted and forced directly into the hydraulic cylinder. There are no load-bearing wear points or torsional stresses in the 4-roll plate rolling equipment interfering the roll parallelism and accuracy, which has contributed to a long service life, consistent rolling result, and convenient maintenance. The centerline of the forming roll is close to that of the pinch roll, allowing the flat areas associated with pre-bending to be small and consistent. In addition, Chaoli has regulated the direct-acting hydraulic cylinders for pre-bending to the maximum rolling capacity.
The rolls of the plate bending machine are independently driven by planetary gear drives, eliminating the complicated transmission systems which are not energy efficient. More than 98% of the created energy is delivered to the roll surface. Besides, clutches and complicated synchronization devices are also of no necessity.
Spherical roller bearings are extremely energy efficient, which have eliminated bushings and the necessary running tolerance. The energy loss among which 25-30 % is taken up by bronze bushings for overcoming the inherent friction is negligible.
