Design and modeling study of roll forming machine for a U-Shape channel products

Abstract

Manufacturing technology of roll forming is one of the important methods and technologies of metal shaping. The need for mass production, devoting and optimization of old and conventional methods is playing important role these days in market need. This research provided a design of Roll Forming machine that form sheet metal into U-shape channel which used in variety of applications, the machine design has been accomplished through manual calculation and computer simulation the results shows that the design is reliable, functional and withstand the loads acting on it, the machine design have a lot of benefits such as; continuous production rate, produces symmetric products, high quality products, doesn’t need skilled operator, less weight, small size, adjustable to a variety of products by design a new sets of rollers, less cost and more safety,
