Metal Forming III—Sheet Metal Forming

Published in Zainul Huda, Manufacturing, 2018

Roll bending involves the forming of large sheet metal parts into curved sections by passing them between rolls. Roll bending has an advantage over bending because no cutting of sheet metal is required and no material is wasted. It is used if a metal sheet panel is to be given a larger smooth radius.

Roll bending provides a simple technique that is useful for bending sheets continuously along their length (Lange 1985). Roll bending involves the use of three rolls to feed and bend the sheet to desired curvatures. Different profiles can be obtained by controlling the distance and relative angle of the rolls. Actuated rolls can be used to control the curvature along the length of the sheet (Taylan and Erman Tekkaya 2012).
