ZEMAN Beam Roll Forming Machines
ZEMAN’s Beam Roll Forming Machines are designed to provide the high level of dimensional accuracy and first class product quality that you expect in a machine. These machines are used to form a wide variety of materials including steel, aluminum, plastic, and fiberglass. They feature several design options such as Self nesting, Self-joint design, C channel, and fully automatic rack box beams.
C channel
Various types of C channel beam roll forming machine can be found in the market. Some of them can produce more than one configuration. They can also be produced with different sizes. These machines are used for various applications, including enclosures, vehicles, water conservancy construction, and mining engineering. They are easy to maintain. Moreover, they are suitable for use in corrosive environments.
The basic parts of the metal channel machine include punching device, forming host, manual decoiler, feeding rack, and a pair of rollers. The forming host is the main part, while the manual decoiler and the pair of rollers are the auxiliary components.
Before the start of the process, the coils of sheet metal must be prepared. This is necessary for the production process. They must be lubricated in order to reduce the friction between the rolls and the metal. It also reduces the wear of the tooling and the cost of component replacement.
Depending on the complexity of the metal channel, the number of passes can vary. The process can take two passes or more. Each pass is made to mold the metal sheet. The length of the coils must be entered by the worker through a touch screen. During the process, a programmable mechanical machine applies force to the metal sheet.
When the nip roller at the feed end is adjusted, the small-side slant of the C channel can be fixed. It is important to note that the residual stress of the external surface of the C-channel steel is under tensile stress. It is divided into macro and micro residual stress.
Self-joint design
Using a clinching tool to join two sheets of metal produces a stronger joint than conventional joining methods. During clinching, the sheets are sandwiched between a punch and flat die, which are then deformed. As a result, a joint can be produced that satisfies a design goal. For example, the strength of a clinched joint can be improved by controlling the forming process and incorporating other fastening methods.
There are a number of different techniques that can be used to produce a clinched joint, and each of these has its own advantages and drawbacks. It is also important to consider the environmental factors that could impact the mechanical properties of a joint.
To determine the best method to optimize the clinching process, a series of FE simulations were conducted to compare the effect of different parameters on a variety of materials. The authors then used these results to optimize the process. In particular, they analyzed the effect of changing the depth of the die groove and the radius of the punch. They also studied the effect of changing the height of the neck. They found that changing the depth of the die groove by a small amount could improve the joint’s load bearing capacity.
The authors performed a similar study on high strength steel and aluminum sheets. The strength of the resulting joint was determined by using a standard tensile test to measure the stress-strain curve. They then extrapolated this curve according to the hardening law.
Self-turn over
Generally, a roll forming machine comprises four basic parts. The first is the guide frame, which aligns material entering the roll-forming machine with the die-stands. The second is the rollers, which are positioned for engagement with the lateral edges of the material as it enters the roll-forming machine.
The best and most efficient method of producing an edge is through roll forming. This produces clean contours and eliminates die marks. The finished product is smooth and requires little secondary processing.
A roll-forming machine can be used for both medium and short run operations. A typical roll-forming machine comprises a guide frame, a plurality of rollers, a pair of die-stands, and two straightening mechanisms. The straightening mechanism is located at the end of the roll-forming machine and functions to remove a curl resulting from the flange bends of a material. Beam Roll Forming Machine The software of the invention calculates the best possible positions for the guides and the rollers.
The other straightening mechanism is located at the right end of the roll-forming machine and functions primarily to straighten out a lip bend in a material. The software of the invention is able to calculate the correct guide and roller positions, which minimizes setup time. The software also allows the operator to change the profile of the rolls by selecting different shapes and sizes.
The roll-forming machine of the invention is flexible, low-cost, and capable of forming different types of products. This makes it suitable for production of special beams and pieces of differing thicknesses. The machine can be operated by unskilled workers in just 8 minutes. It uses the latest electronic components and control software.
Self nesting
Using a self nesting beam roll forming machine offers benefits for the automotive industry. The process offers lower manufacturing costs and Beam Roll Forming Machine increased flexibility. During the design phase, CAD designs can be easily transferred to CNC programming.
Roll forming can be used to shape any metal. It produces clean contours and eliminates die marks. It also requires less energy and lowers scrap. It can produce complex cross sections and shapes coated metals.
The speed of the roll forming process is affected by the amount of bending, friction and thickness of the metal. It can produce tubes, oval and rectangular shapes. Sheet metals can range from 0.1 inches to 30 inches in width. It is possible to produce products with up to seven mm thickness.
The rate of production is dependent on the thickness of the metal and the number of roll stations. It is possible to produce beams, U-profiles and C profiles. It is also possible to make different lengths using the same tooling.
There are seven common metals in use for roll forming: steel, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper, plastic and copper alloys. Non-ferrous metals are also possible.
Roll forming involves the use of a set of rollers and spindles that are positioned precisely for the profile to be formed. It is necessary to control the motion of these components to reduce the wear and tear of the tools.
