Definitions

  • a roll-forming machine includes a plurality of forming members which are mounted at spaced points on an elongate, rigid spine. This permits conversion of the machine from one roll-forming configuration to another by removing the spine and the roll-forming members attached thereto and then installing a different spine-forming member assembly in the roll-forming machine.
  • the forming members comprise non-driven material engaging rollers and the roll-forming machine further includes a plurality of roll-stands each comprising non-forming driving rollers for moving material through the rollforming machine.
  • the forming members comprise combination driving and forming rollers and couplers are provided for forming driving connections to the rollers.
  • This invention relates to roll-forming machines, and more particularly to a roll-forming machine which is quickly and easily changed from one roll-forming configuration to another.
  • roll-forming machines are used in industry to form longitudinal bends in strips of metal or similar materials.
  • the type of roll-forming machine that is most often employed at the present time is disclosed in U. S. Pat. No. 2,l76,l l5, granted to Yoder on Oct. 17, 1939.
  • a plurality of roll-stands are mounted at spaced intervals and function to move material along a path and to simultaneously form longitudinal bends in the material.
  • the roll-stands are driven by a common power source which is connected to the roll-stands by means of worm gear drives.
  • the rollstands generally comprise combination driving and forming rollers, however, in a given instance certain of the roll-stands may serve merely as driving rollers and in other instances non-driven forming rollers may be used in conjunction with the combination driving and forming rollers.
  • Roll-forming machines of the type disclosed in the Yoder Patent incorporate a number of inherently disadvantageous characteristics.
  • all of the rollers in the Yoder type of device are power driven.
  • all of the rollers must be removed and replaced on an individual basis. For both of these reasons it typically requires a crew of skilled workmen and as long as 8 hours to convert a conventional roll-forming machine from one roll-forming configuration to another.
  • Yoder type of roll-forming machine involves the fact that the combination driving and forming rollers of such a device typically present more than one diameter to material that is traveling through the rollforming machine. In such a case it is necessary that at least portions of the rollers slip relative to the material. This results in numerous problems including increased power requirements, excess heating of the material, possible tearing of the material, etc.
  • the present invention comprises a novel roll-forming machine which overcomes the foregoing and other disadvantages that are characteristic of the prior art.
  • a plurality of forming members are supported on an elongate, rigid spine. Structure is provided for precisely locating the spine and thereby orienting the forming members for engagement with material passing through the roll-forming machine.
  • the spine and the forming members supported thereon are removed from the rollforming machine and are then replaced with a different spine-forming member assembly.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a roll-forming machine comprising the preferred embodiment of the invention
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are sectional views taken generally along the lines 2-2 and 3-3 of FIG. 1, respectively, and illustrating the different types of roll-stands which are employed in the roll-forming machine;

  • the roll-forming machine 10 includes a frame 12 which includes a pair of main beams 14, a plurality of legs 16 which support the main beams 14, and a plurality of brace beams 18 which interconnect the legs 16.
  • the main beams 14 extend longitudinally of the rollforming machine 10 and serve to support the operating components thereof.
  • One of the main beams 14 also supports a chain drive enclosing housing 20.
  • the roll-forming machine 10 further includes a plurality of roll-stands which serve to move material through the roll-forming machine 10 along a path 22 extending from left to right (FIG. 1) and parallel to the main beams 14.
  • the roll-stands of the roll-forming machine 10 are of two types and include a first type 24 which is used in the entry or forward portion of the rollforming machine 10 and a second type 26 which is used in the exit or rearward portion of the roll-forming machine. All of the roll-stands 24 are driven by a chain drive 28 whereas all of the roll-stands 26 are driven by a chain drive 30. Both of the chain drives 28 and 30 are mounted in the housing 20 and are driven by a common power source including an electric motor 32, a suitable transmission 34 and a chain and sprocket drive 36.
  • Each rollstand 24 includes upper and lower roller assemblies 38 and 40 which comprise relatively small diameter, relatively widely spaced drive rollers mounted for cooperation to advance material through the roll-forming machine 10.
  • the upper roller assembly 38 includes a pair of rollers 42 which are supported on-and driven by a shaft 44.
  • the shaft 44 is in turn supported in a-pair of pillow-block bearings 46 and a self-aligning bearing 48 mounted on the housing 20.
  • the shaft 44 extends to a sprocket 50 comprising a portion of the chain drive 28.
  • the lower roller assembly 40 includes a pair of drive rollers 52 which are supported on and driven by a shaft 54.
  • the shaft 54 is supported in a pair of pillow-block bearings 56 and a self-aligning bearing 58 which is mounted on the housing 20.
  • the shaft 54 extends to a sprocket 60 which also comprises a portion of the chain drive 28.
  • the pillow-block bearings 56 are supported on a plate 62 which is in turn supported by a pair of rods 64.
  • the rods 64 extend through the main beams 14 of a roll-forming machine and are secured with respect thereto by cooperating sets of collars 66 which are both welded to the beams 14 and pinned to the rods 64.
  • the pillow-block bearings 46 of the upper roller assembly 38 are secured to a plate 68 which is slidably supported on the rods 64.
  • a compression spring 70 is mounted on each rod 64 and is positioned between a collar 72 that is mounted on the plate 68 and a collar 73 that is threadedly engaged with the rod 64 and retained by a collar 74.
  • Each roll-stand 26 includes upper and lower roller assemblies 78 and 80 which comprise relatively large diameter, relatively closely spaced drive rollers.
  • the upper roller assembly 78 includes a pair of rollers 82 which are supported on and driven by a shaft 84.
  • the shaft 84 is supported by a pillow-block bearing 86 and a self-aligning bearing 88 mounted on the frame 12 and extends to a sprocket 90 comprising a portion of the chain drive 30.
  • the lower roller assembly 80 comprises a pair of rollers 92 which are supported on and driven by a shaft 94.
  • the shaft 94 is supported by a pillow-block bearing 96 and a self-aligning bearing 98 mounted on one of the main beams 14 of the frame 12 and extends to a sprocket 100 which also comprises a portion of the chain drive 30.
  • the pillow-block bearing 96 is supported on a plate 102 which is in turn supported on a plurality of rods 104.
  • the rods I04 extend through the main beams 14 of the frame 12 and are rigidly located with respect thereto by a plurality of collars 106 which are both welded to the beams 14 and pinned to the rods 104.
  • the rollers 92 and the shaft 94 of the lower roller assembly 80 are fixedly supported relative to the frame 12 of the roll-forming machine 10.
  • the pillow-block 86 is mounted on a plate 108 which is slidably supported on the rods 104.
  • a compression spring 110 is mounted on each rod 104 and is positioned between a collar 1 12 that is mounted on the plate 108 and a collar 113 that is threadedly engaged with the rod 104 and retained by a collar 114.
  • the rollers 82 and the shaft 84 of the upper roller assembly 78 are urged toward the rollers 92 and the shaft 94 of the lower roller assembly but are permitted to move upwardly against the action of the springs 110.
  • This construction permits the roll-stands 26 to properly drive materials of varying thicknesses through the roll-forming machine 10. As has been indicated previously in conjunction with the roll-stands 24, it has been found that the construction illustrated in FIG. 3 is adaptable to advance materials varying between about one-sixteenth inch and about three-eighths inch.
  • the rollstands 24 and 26 of the roll-forming machine 10 comprise component parts which are substantially permanently mounted on the frame 12 of the roll-forming machine.
  • An important aspect of the preferred embodiment of the invention is that the drive rollers of the rollstands 24 and 26 play no part whatsoever in forming material which is moved along the path 22 shown in FIG. 1. Instead, the various rollers comprising the rollstands 24 and 26 are employed solely to move material through the roll-forming machine 10.
  • the function of forming the material which is moving through the roll-forming machine 10 under the action of the roll-stands is performed by a plurality of diestands which are mounted at spaced points along the path 22 and alternately with respect to the roll-stands 24 and 26.
  • a spine 120 As is clearly shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the spine extends the entire length of the roll-forming machine 10 and is supported relative to the frame 12 of the roll-forming machine 10 by means of the plates 68 and 108 of the roll-stands 24 and 26.
  • the spine 120 comprises an elongate, rigid, hollowtube and has a plurality of feet 122 depending from it.
  • Each foot 122 is welded to the spine 120 and has a locating aperture formed through it.
  • One of the plates 68 and two of the plates 108 are provided with locating pads 124, and each pad 124 has a locating pin 126 extending upwardly from it for cooperation with the locating aperture in one of the feet 122 to precisely locate the spine 120 relative to the frame 12 of the rollforming machine 10.
  • the spine 120 is secured relative to the frame 12 by a plurality of L-shaped clamps 128 and a plurality of bolts 130 which are threadedly engaged with the plates 68 and 108 to clamp the spine 120 relative to the frame 12 of the roll-forming machine.
  • the spine 120 also supports a pair of guides which are mounted on opposite sides of the first roll-stand 24 of the roll-forming machine 10.
  • Each guide comprises a frame 134 which is supported on a pair of brackets 136 by a plurality of bolts 138.
  • the brackets 136 are welded to the spine 120 and the bolts 138 are received in elongated slots 140 formed in the brackets 136.
  • the lateral positioning of the frame 134 relative to the spine 120 is ad- 60 justable by means of a plurality of adjusting members 142 supported on the frame 134 and extending into engagement with the brackets 136.
  • the frame 134 supports a plurality of rollers 144 which are positioned for engagement with the lateral edges of material entering the roll-forming machine 10 and also supports opposed plates 146 and 148.
  • the guides function to align material entering the roll-forming machines relative to the die-stands of the roll-forming machine.
  • Each die-stand comprises a rectangular frame 152 that is rigidly secured to the spine 120 by means of a pair of L- shaped brackets 154 which are welded to the spine 120 and a plurality of fasteners 156 which secure the rectangular frame to the brackets 154.
  • the frame 152 depends from the spine 120 and supports a pair of plates 158 each having a material receiving aperture 160 formed in it.
  • a plurality of non-driven material engaging rollers are supported on each plate 158 for engagement with material passing through the roll-forming machine 10 under the action of the roll-stands 24 and 26.
  • the positioning of the rollers of the various die-stands which are utilized in a particular roll-forming operation depends on the location of the die-stands in the roll-forming ma- I chine as well as other factors.
  • the diestand illustrated in FIG. 5 is located in the forward portion of the roll-forming machine 10 and comprises a plurality of rollers 162 which are positioned to initiate lip bends B in material passing through the rollforming machine.
  • the die-stand illustrated in FIG. 6 is located at an intermediate point in the roll-forming machine and comprises a plurality of rollers 164 positioned to the lip bends 8,, in the material passing through the roll-forming machine.
  • rollers 166 positioned to cooperate with other rollers to form flange bends B in the material.
  • the final die-stand of the rollforming machine 10 is illustrated in FIG. 8 and comprises rollers 168 positioned to complete the flange bends B;.
  • all of the material engaging rollers of the various die-stands comprising the roll-forming machine 10 are non-driven rollers.
  • the material advancing and the material forming functions are completely divorced in that all of the material moving operations are carried out by the roll-stands 24 and 26 whereas all of the material forming operations are carried out by die-stands of the type illustrated in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8.
  • roll-forming machines are often provided with straightening mechanisms, whereby the course of the material leaving the rollforming machine is determined and controlled.
  • straightening mechanisms As material is transformed from an initial configuration to a desired configuration in a roll-forming machine, it is often necessary to stretch certain portions of the material to a greater extent than other portions. For example, when a channel shape of the type illustrated in FIG. 8 is formed in a length of material, the outer portions of the material are stretched to a greater extent than the central portions of the material. If no steps were taken to correct this situation, the material would curl down upon leaving the roll-forming machine. This situation may be overcome and corrected by appropriate straightening mechanisms.
  • the roll-forming machine 10 is equipped with two straightening mechanisms both of which are supported on the spine 120.
  • One of the straightening mechanisms is situated between the roll-stands 24 and the rollstands 26 and functions to remove curl caused by forming the lip bends 8,, in the material.
  • the other straightening mechanism is situated at the right end (FIG. 1)
  • the straightening mechanism comprises a pair of upper bars 170 and 172 which are rigidly supported on the spine 120 by means of two L-shaped brackets 174 and 176 and two bolts 178 and 180.
  • a pair of plates 182 and 184 are supported on the bars 170 and 172, respectively, by a plurality of relatively rigid bolts 186 and 188.
  • the plate 182 supports material engaging rollers 190 and the plate 184 supports material engaging rollers 192 which cooperate with the rollers 190 to straighten curl in the material due to the flange bends B formed therein.
  • the material engaging rollers 190 and 192 do not serve to further form the material, but instead receive material that has already been shaped by the die-stands of the roll-forming machine 10 and function to remove curl from the material.
  • the angular and vertical positioning of the plates 182 and 184 relative to the spine 120 is adjustable by means of the bolts 186 and 188. This permits positioning of the material engaging rollers 190 and 192 in such a way as to overcome and relieve any twisting or curling tendency of material being formed in the roll-forming machine.
  • adjustment of the straightening mechanism of a roll-forming machine is a rather frequent operation in that changes in the characteristics of the material being processed can cause marked changes in the tendancy of the material to twist or curl after it has been formed in a rollforming machine.
  • materials from different manufacturers materials which may have been processed or stored under different conditions, and in fact lengths of material slit from different portions of the same roll or sheet often behave differently during processing in a roll-forming machine. Any such change may necessitate an adjustment of the straightening mechanisms of the roll-forming machine so that the material follows the desired course as it leaves the rollforming machine.
  • the roll-forming machine 200 includes a frame 202 which supports the various operating instrumentalities of the roll-forming machine.
  • the rollforming machine 200 further includes a suitable electric motor and transmission (not shown) which are employed to rotate a worm shaft 204.
  • the worm shaft 204 supplies operating power for the roll-forming machine 200 by means of a plurality of worm wheels 206 mounted in mesh with the worm shaft 204.
  • Each worm wheel 206 drives a shaft 208 and also drives a shaft 210 by means of a spur gear 212 mounted on the shaft 208 and a spur gear 214 mounted on the shaft 210 and in mesh with the gear 212.
  • the shafts 208 and 210 are connected to a pair of couplers 216 and 218 through sets of universal joints 220.
  • the couplers 216 and 218 are supported by adjustable positioning members 222 and 224 and function to couple the shafts 208 and 210 to a pair of combination material moving and material forming rollers 226 and 228. This permits alignment between the couplers 216 and 218 and rollers 226 and 228 having different axial positionings.
  • the rollers 226 and 228 are supported in a rectangular frame 230, and the frame 230 is secured to an elongate, rigid spine 232 by suitable means, such as welding.
  • the spine 232 is detachably supported on the frame 202 of the roll-forming machine 200 by suitable structure (not shown). Thus, be releasing the couplers 216 and 218 and then detaching the spine 232, all of the combination material moving and material forming rollers comprising the roll-forming machine 200 may be removed from the roll-forming machine simultaneously. Subsequently, a second spine 232 having sets of combination material moving and material forming rollers supported thereon which are adapted to perform a different roll-forming operation is mounted in the roll-forming machine 200.

  • the spine is detachably supported on the roll-forming machine whereby the material forming members, the guides and the straightening mechanisms are quickly and easily removed from the remainder of the rollforming machine.
  • the use of the invention is highly advantageous in the roll-forming art in that it both increases the speed at which a roll-forming machine can be changed from one roll-forming configuration to another and also reduces the cost of such a change-over operation. By this means, roll-forming machines are readily adapted to very short run operations and are not restricted to use in high volume manufacturing operations.
