Rolled Profiles and Shapes

Roll, stretch and Forming of Extruded Profiles in 2000 and 7000 series aluminum/aluminium. Three-roll bending pushes an extrusion around three different rolls placed in a triangular shape. The rolls are adjusted to form a precise angle, up to a 360-degree rotation, that can roll horizontally or vertically. As the extrusion is slowly moved across the power-driven rollers, it begins to curve and bend. Extrusions are limited to a single bend per cycle, meaning a higher angle of bend would take longer to reach the desired angle.

Rolled Extrusion for B17 Gun Turret

widerAn interesting case study. Our temp tested with multiple alloys to roll bend 2024 for the B17 Ball Turret. We rolled a 0.625x0.750 angle the hard way through a 48 inch radius. The results were a smooth and continuous circle, with minimal folding on the sides. We made siz sets and the customer was very happy with the results.
