Roll Bending Inputs

For Roll Bending (2-, 3-, or 4-roll) you can define the following process setup options:

  • Rolling speed – The speed of the part through the machine, in mm/sec.

  • Total part handling time – Load time plus unload time (plus re-roll handling time if applicable), in seconds).

  • Prebend time per edge – Not applicable for 2-roll machines. The time in seconds to pre-bend the leading or trailing edge. For 4-roll machines only, both leading and trailing edges can be pre-bent in one operation.

  • Number of passes – For 3- and 4-roll machines only, an integer specifying the number of passes required to generate the given bend.
