The cone plate rolling machine consists of several key components:
Upper and Lower Rollers:
The rollers have a conical surface, are made of high-quality forgings, and undergo quenching and tempering for durability.
Frame:
The frame is a welded steel plate structure designed to relieve welding stress. It includes an upper roller control system using an oil cylinder, allowing the upper roller to move up and down.
Main Transmission Device:
The machine features three driving rollers driven by a main motor and a cycloidal pinwheel reducer, capable of rotating in both forward and reverse directions to power sheet rolling.
Electrical Part:
Electrical components are housed in an electrical box and operated with a handle for user convenience. The main circuit operates on three-phase 380V alternating current. Three main motors drive the work rolls, and an additional motor powers the hydraulic pump station with short circuit and overcurrent protection.
Transmission:
Main Drive: All three rollers serve as driving rollers, powered by three main motors and a cycloid reducer, facilitating sheet rolling in both directions.
Auxiliary Transmission: The hydraulic cylinder controls the upward and downward movement of the upper roller.
Operating Guidelines for Cone Rolling Machine
If you're in the market for a cone rolling machine, understanding the proper operating instructions is crucial for achieving accurate and efficient results. Here's a guide to assist you in the process:
1. Metal Plate Feeding:
The feeding process is driven by the friction between the metal plate and the work roll.
The plate is bent into an arc based on the arc formed by three tangent points between the metal plate and the work roll.
Achieve the required radius of curvature by adjusting the inclination and lifting of the upper roller.
2. Cone Rolling:
Begin by ensuring that the distance between the lower busbar of the upper roller and the upper busbar of the lower roller is greater than the thickness of the plate.
Press the fan-shaped plate's head, centering and symmetrically placing it on the lower roller – the basic working position.
Gradually press down the two cylinders (note: the pressure is not synchronous).
Operate the rollers in rotation, aligning the rotation direction with the feed direction.
Bend the middle of the sheet according to the desired radius of curvature.
Adjust the inclination and lifting of the upper roller correspondingly.
Repeat the forward and reverse rolling until the desired shape is achieved.
Mastery of the upper roller's position and downward movement is crucial, requiring rich rolling experience.
3. Unloading:
Raise the upper roller to a certain height to facilitate unloading from one end of the upper roller.
Once raised, the rolled workpiece can be easily unloaded, completing the process.
4. Important Notes:
Before cone rolling, clean up any sheet oxide slag and avoid allowing the upper and lower rollers to squeeze each other excessively, as this may lead to roller breakage.
Ensure symmetrical placement of the fan-shaped plate on the roller to prevent misalignment and wrong sides during closing.
Improper adjustment of the upper roller may result in the smaller or larger end closing first.
For best results, experienced operators are recommended for testing and operating the machine.
If pre-bent fan-shaped plates are not pre-bent, roll both sides of the plate first, then roll the center to ensure straight sides on both ends of the weld, and finally correct it on the cone plate rolling machine after welding.
Following these operating guidelines will contribute to a smoother and more successful cone rolling process, ensuring precision and minimizing potential issues during operation.
