PRODUCT QUESTIONS
Before you request a configuration
These answers are planning guidance. The final machine, capacity, tooling, safety scope, and acceptance criteria belong in the approved technical proposal.
01Three-roll or four-roll platform?
Part geometry, pre-bending expectation, operator method, plate duty, and repeatability determine the practical roll arrangement.
02Why is finished diameter important?
Diameter-to-thickness ratio affects machine capacity, springback, rolling sequence, and the achievable result.
03Can conical parts be reviewed?
Yes. Provide large and small diameters, cone length, material, thickness, and acceptable tolerances.
