2. ROLL BENDER

Roll bending may be done to both sheet metal and bars of


metal. If a bar is used, it is assumed to have a uniform cross-
section, but not necessarily rectangular, as long as there are
no overhanging contours, i.e. positive draft. Such bars are
often formed by extrusion. The material to be shaped is
suspended between the rollers. The end rollers support the
bottom side of the bar and have a matching contour (inverse
shape) to it in order to maintain the cross-sectional shape.
Likewise, the middle roller is forced against the topside of
the bar and has a matching contour to it.

11. CONCLUSION
This project is made with pre planning, that it provides
flexibility in operation. This innovation has made the more
desirable and economical. This project “ROLL BENDING
MACHINE” is designed with the hope that it is very much
economical and help full to constructional areas and some
industries.
