OPERATION STAGES
• Following figure shows the normal cylinder operation. Experience of the operator
and bending time has great effect on the finishing of the product.
• Ensure that center ROLL is on the lowest position before placing the plate on the
machine. Bring it to the lowest position if it is not.
• Load the plate to the left side of the machine. It is possible to load it on the right side.
All operations are certainly dependent of reciprocal movements of side rolls.
• Raise the right ROLL. This procedure causes a dumbness in the rolls, but allows that
the plate is placed smoothly. Then, place the plate between two rolls and push it,
thus the plate shall be compressed between rolls. It is possible to change the
compression force on the machine.
• Then, lower the right ROLL and push the plate to the left. Thus, we put the edge of
the plate through the nearest point to the center ROLL.
• Lift the left ROLL until you achieve the desired diameter and lean the plate to the
right (you may read the movement of the ROLL from the digital indicator. Thickness
of plate and the type of the material used is a determining factor on the diameter
you will obtain.)
• Stop the movement of the plate when you see that the plate will be leaned towards
the right ROLL.
• Here (in the figures) you can see the results of bending time.
