Suitable for machinery, equipment enclosures, cylindrical structures, tanks, and various custom sheet metal components. We support single-piece prototyping, small-batch production, and volume manufacturing.
| Item | Capability |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Hydraulic Plate Rolling Machine |
| Process | Sheet Metal Rolling |
| Forming Method | Three-Roll Plate Forming |
| Applications | Curved, cylindrical, and curved sheet metal structures |
| Production Types | Single-Piece Prototyping, Small-Batch Production, Volume Manufacturing |
Actual processing conditions are evaluated and determined based on material type, sheet thickness, sheet dimensions, required curvature, and product structure.
Sheet metal rolling gradually forms flat metal sheets through rollers to achieve the required curved or cylindrical shape.
Common applications include:
Unlike flat cutting and press brake bending, rolling is particularly suitable for components requiring continuous curves or curved forming.
Both rolling and press brake bending are sheet metal forming processes, but they differ in forming methods and the types of structures they are suited for.
| Comparison | Sheet Metal Rolling | Press Brake Bending |
|---|---|---|
| Forming Method | Continuous forming through rollers | Bending with upper and lower tooling |
| Main Shapes | Curves, cylinders, continuous surfaces | Straight bends and angled forms |
| Suitable Parts | Cylindrical and curved structures | Boxes, enclosures, brackets |
| Forming Characteristics | Creates continuous curved surfaces | Creates defined bending angles |
| Common Applications | Cylinders, tanks, curved enclosures | Equipment enclosures, structural components, electrical enclosures |
The appropriate forming method is selected based on the product design, material characteristics, dimensions, and required shape.
Sheet metal rolling can be integrated with other sheet metal fabrication processes:
Laser Cutting → Sheet Metal Rolling → Sheet Metal Welding → Secondary Processing / Assembly
For example, laser cutting can first be used to create the required sheet profile and hole patterns, followed by rolling to form the curved structure. Welding and assembly can then be performed according to the product design.
Chuang Pu Technology integrates different fabrication processes based on customer drawings and product requirements to manufacture custom sheet metal components and structural parts.
