forming roll

The skelp is then sent through a series of forming rolls that bend it into a tubular shape.

Tissue machines typically form the paper web between a wire and a special fabric (felt) as they wrap around a forming roll.

Drawing of 6101 aluminum alloy trapezoidal wire requires close attention to die geometry and die surface quality, proper profile and alignment of forming rolls and adequate lubrication.

Common tooling includes metal forming rolls, cutting tools (such as tool bits and milling cutters), fixtures, or even whole machine tools used to manufacture, hold, or test products during their fabrication.

Forming Process Two horizontal forming rolls, made from Atlas "NN" steel hardened and tempered to 60 RC, with highly polished working surfaces are used in the forming operation.

As the edges of the skelp come together under pressure in the final forming rolls, an electric current is passed between them. The resistance to the current heats the edges of the skelp to welding temperature, and the weld is formed as the two edges are pressed together.
