The working principle of plate rolling machine is relatively simple, mainly through the rotation of the rollers and pressure to make plastic deformation of sheet metal. Usually, the plate rolling machine consists of three or four rollers, and the upper and lower rollers control the curvature of bending by adjusting the spacing. The sheet metal is rolled between the rollers several times to gradually form the desired shape.
The structural design of the rolling machine focuses on stability and precision, and can adapt to the processing needs of plates of different thicknesses. Common models include symmetrical plate rolling machine, asymmetrical plate rolling machine and horizontal downward adjustable plate rolling machine, each model is suitable for different processing scenarios.
The efficiency of plate rolling machine is mainly reflected in the processing speed, precision and stability. According to the industry report released by China Machinery Industry Federation in 2022, the average processing speed of modern three-roller plate rolling machine is 1.5-3 meters per minute (the specific value depends on the thickness of the plate and the material), while the four-roller plate rolling machine can be upgraded to 2-4 meters per minute due to the optimization of the structure. For example, when processing 20mm thick carbon steel plate, the single forming time of three-roller model is about 30 seconds, while four-roller model can be shortened to less than 20 seconds.
The underlying logic of high efficiency lies in:
(1) Power system upgrade: Adopting servo motor drive, it saves 15%-20% energy and improves response speed by 30% compared with traditional hydraulic system;
(2) Automation Integration: Equipped with CNC control system, it can reduce the time of manual adjustment and increase the efficiency up to 50% in mass production;
(3) Adaptive technology: some high-end models through the laser thickness measurement real-time correction parameters, to avoid rework, the overall production capacity by about 25%.
(1) high efficiency: plate rolling machine can be high-speed, efficient curling processing of sheet metal, significantly improving production efficiency. At the same time, due to the high degree of automation, manual operation can be reduced, further saving time.
(2) High precision: modern plate rolling machine usually adopts computer control, which can realize high-precision rolling. This high precision ensures the consistency and stability of product specifications and quality, and reduces the rate of defective products and defects.
(3) Versatility: the plate rolling machine can be processed into cylindrical parts, tapered parts, oval parts, curved parts and other parts of different shapes to meet the needs of different industries and production.
Different cross-section shapes can be processed by replacing the molds, and the following table shows the comparison of common processing ranges:

(4) Saving resources: In the production process, the plate rolling machine can compress large-area plates into smaller sizes, thus saving production space and logistics resources. At the same time, because the plate rolling machine can reduce the waste of raw materials, so it also reduces the impact on the environment.
(5) easy to operate and maintain: the operation of the plate rolling machine is simple, and does not require a high level of professional skills and experience of the operator. In addition, the maintenance of the plate rolling machine is also relatively simple, which helps to maintain the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
(6) Strong adaptability: the plate rolling machine is suitable for different kinds of metal plates, including aluminum, stainless steel, iron plate, etc.. This wide applicability enables the plate rolling machine to be widely used in a number of industries.
(7) High safety: the design of the plate rolling machine usually takes into account the safety of the operator and adopts some safety protection measures. For example, the flip and reset of the flip bearing body is equipped with interlocking devices, the flip bearing body after the flip, the use of cylinders to achieve a simple push unloading, other actions are in a standby state, only in the flip bearing body reset to restore the action, play a safety protection role.
In summary, the plate rolling machine has significant advantages in terms of high efficiency, precision, flexibility, reduce production costs, wide range of applications, as well as safety and reliability. These advantages make the rolling machine in the steel industry, metal manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, construction and packaging industry and other fields have been widely used.
