AR Series

The WDM AR series guide roll system is the key to successful angle bending. WDM machines have guide roll adjustment systems that allow the user to adjust the rolls in all ways necessary to obtain good work pieces. The small/economy machines have manual adjustments via acme screws and handwheel/worm gear arrangements. Machines 4x4 and larger have 6 way power guide rolls for optimal performance. The AR series is capable of rolling angle, flat bar, square bar, tee, round bar, pipe, tubing, channel, and I-beam.

Pre-AR Semi-Automatic

The Pre AR semi-automatic free standing rolling console provides digital readouts and 2 presets for each axis (near & far roll). Also included is length position readout and 2 presets for the roll rotation. All machine functions are controlled via joysticks or push buttons on the control panel. Motor start/stop, speed control dial, and emergency stop is mounted in the panel for easy access. On model AR-41 and larger included on the panel is a push button to control the 6 way power guide rolls. The controls are housed in a heavy duty NEMA 12 enclosure with stainless steel hand rail. This popular control provides just enough automation to greatly speed through put performance, and accuracy. It is easily programmed and can be used as standard or preset type control. In many cases this control increases roll performance 500% or more and is usually all the automation that is required. This control is recommended for part batch sizes from 3 to 100+ pieces
