How to Produce Sheet Metal Cone

As a sheet metal fabrication workshop often meet request for sheet metal cone.Producing a sheet metal cone using a rolling machine or cone plate bending machine involves a series of steps. Below is a general guide on how to create a simple right circular cone using a rolling machine. Keep in mind that specific details may vary based on the type and capabilities of the rolling machine you're using. 

Materials and Tools: 

Sheet metal 
Rolling machine 
Marking tools (pencil, scribe, or chalk) 
Measuring tools (ruler, tape measure) 
Cutting tools (shears or plasma cutter) 
Welding equipment (if needed) 
Producing Sheet Metal Cone Steps: 

Determine Cone Dimensions: 

Decide on the dimensions of the cone, including the base diameter, height, and material thickness. 
Mark the Sheet Metal: 

Use marking tools to draw the base circle on the sheet metal. The center of the circle represents the apex of the cone. 
Cut the Base Circle: 

Cut out the marked base circle using shears or a plasma cutter. Ensure a clean and accurate cut. 
Mark the Apex Point: 

Locate and mark the apex point at the center of the base circle. 
Determine Slant Height: 

Measure and mark the desired slant height from the apex point to the circumference of the base circle. This will determine the height of the cone. 
Form the Cone on the Rolling Machine: 

Place the sheet metal on the rolling machine. 
Adjust the machine settings according to the dimensions and material thickness. 
Start rolling the sheet metal, guiding it to form the cone shape. The rolling machine will gradually curve the sheet metal into a cone. 
Check and Adjust: 

Periodically check the shape and dimensions of the forming cone. 
Make any necessary adjustments to the rolling machine settings to ensure accuracy. 
Welding (if needed): 

If you are creating a frustum or a cone with a seam, you may need to weld the seam. Ensure proper welding techniques and inspect the weld for strength. 
Finish and Clean Up: 

Trim any excess material if necessary. 
Check the overall geometry and make final adjustments.

Our conical bending machine can produce 20-30 pcs cones in one hour.
