The AHS 4-Roll Plate Roll machine not only stands out for its reliability but also enhances productivity with its exceptional bending speed. Designed with user-friendly features, the AHS is adept at executing the most challenging bends with relative ease. A standout attribute is the clamping of the plate during the bending process, a provision that mitigates risks associated with skidding and slippage of the material. This safety-oriented measure translates into more accurate bending outcomes. Moreover, the AHS comes with an innovative design element wherein one of the side shafts can function as a “stop”. This allows users to align the plate effortlessly and accurately to the shaft that is opposite the input direction.
In essence, the AHS can shape the toughest metal parts required for high-strength applications, ensuring reliable performance even under intense pressures and loads. The AHS offers remarkable capability to handle up to a substantial 200 mm (8”) thick and 12 meter (40 ft.) wide materials.
This system can serve a broad spectrum of industries such as construction, shipbuilding, aerospace, heavy machinery, and any sector where robust metal components are crucial. Applications can range from creating large-scale structural parts like beams and pillars, to forming hulls or sections of ships and airplanes, to producing critical elements for heavy machinery
Deformation-Free Bending
The AHS is a high-speed plate rolling machine designed with 4 rollers that work together for deformation-free bending. It ensures even pressure distribution for consistent, high-quality results.
Central and Side Supports
The AHS central support feature helps to handle large and thin materials, like metal sheets. It is designed to prevent distortion due to sagging when the material is rolled, especially at the top point. The side support features also assist in ensuring that the plate remains in alignment and prevents sagging downward during the rolling process. This aids in avoiding any deformities or deviations in the final rolled product.
Equipped with Advanced Software That Streamlines Large-Scale Production
The AHS, with its high-tech software, makes bending curves simpler for large-scale production. The advanced software minimizes the need for operator input, making the manufacturing process safer and more efficient.
Robust Body
The structure of AHS is designed using Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis and is built to have optimal strength and rigidity. As a result, the bending stresses are significantly reduced, ensuring a safer operation and a prolonged machine lifespan.
Optimized Energy Efficiency with Planetary Guides
This system enables the side rolls to approach the top roll at a broader angle, using less power for an equal length of unbent flat ends, thereby conserving energy. It also improves the accuracy of bending processes.
