Rigidized Rolls
Rigidized Rolls
Rigidized rolls are specially added to WDM plate and sheet bending machines to accommodate long workpieces that need to be rolled to a small diameter. The machine is custom built with an extended housing at the drive end and a double bearing at the drop end. This allows the top roll to be pre-loaded there by rigidizing it and increasing the capacity. This feature can be added in the WDM 403 Series and the WDM K Series. If you have a need to roll/bend this type of workpiece please contact us. We are happy to help with any questions you may have.

Workpiece Accuracy
In the final analysis, the proof of performance is the acceptability of the finished workpiece. With uniform quality of the workpiece blanks, our machines have historically rolled workpieces within 1/2 of 1% of perfect concentricity.
There are many variables that can affect the accuracy and repeatability either minimally or drastically. These include, but are not limited to, the following: varying material thickness; varying material temper; uneven cross section of material, i.e. wide and narrow profile of workpiece or a workpiece with holes or cutouts; and direction of grain of material.
Many of these variables can be overcome by various means. An important element for success is a knowledgeable operator who understands the characteristics of the material being formed and the various functions of the machine. If the workpiece being formed is anything other than uniform material and cylinders, and you are unsure if your pieces can be rolled practically, please provide us with a drawing or sketch and we will be happy to evaluate it.
