Title : A Design and Fabrication of Three Roller Bending Machine

Date: July 13, 2019
Abstract
The Three Roller Bending Machine is a machine designed to bend on raw
materials Galvanized Iron sheets and Mild Steel circular solid bar into its
cylindrical form. The raw materials processed in this machine are made into a
metal cylindrical can, miniature cylindrical tank, taho container, basketball ring,
and other designated cylindrical forms. The roller shafts could bend a metal
sheet as wide as four feet and a half inch of solid round bar. It is motorized built
and the structure of the machine is composed of three roller shafts; one upper
roller shaft and one lower roller shaft in parallel with each other, and a back roller
shaft which is placed at the side of the two rollers. The upper roller shaft is
immobile or stationed and is connected to the motor with the use of belt, and the
lower roller shafts, whose position is adjustable vertically. The back roller shaft
can be adjusted up to 8 inches center distance with respect to the upper roller
shaft. By adjusting the back roller shaft, the desired diameter of the raw material
to be formed will be determined. The distances between the upper roller and
back roller are varied that the amount to which a plate is rolled around the rollers
are also varying.
