MH 4 Roll Hydraulic Plate Bending Machine

Technology

Frames made out of welded steel and worked on CNC milling-boring machines.

Power drive
  • The model “MH” has both the upper and the lower roll powered with hydraulic motor and planetary gear box.
  • Rolls made of forged steel.
  • All movements of rolls are hydraulic powered.

MG owns a new geometry bending system characterized by radial movements off the bending rolls and movements totally assembled on high load dynamic bearings that grant a minimum friction and a smooth rolling even when the machine works at its capacity limit. The bearings supporting the rolls are mounted in watertight compartments with grease, protected from the external dust and pollution and having permanent lubrication.

The hydraulic motors of the two central rolls are coupled to their epicycloidal gear boxes.

MH 208 w CNC, side and vertical support

The gear boxes are mounted directly on the rolls without secondary transmissions; this way there is no loss of power and no need of parts maintenance. Massive torsion bars grant

the absolute parallelism. These torsion bars, together with all the hydraulic device, generate a system that gives absolute precision and versatility.


Description

Whether you are a job shop or manufacturer, the MG 4 Roll is the best plate roll solution. Every machine, size for size, can roll 30% tighter diameters than any type roll and 30% thinner material than 3 roll double pinch machines. These features, combined with the advanced technology incorporated in all aspects of the MG Plate Roll, make it up to 300% more efficient than 3 roll machines. The following graphs explain why.

Planetary Drive

Planetary drive eliminates complicated transmission systems which are not energy efficient. Delivers in excess of 98 % of all created energy to roll surface. Also eliminates the need for clutches and complicated synchronization devices.

Torsion Bar Parallelism

MG plate roll torsion bar

Unlike electronic systems or proportional value systems, which maintain a theoretical balance, the MG Plate Roll maintains a mechanical finite parallelism through our exclusive torsion bar system which allows the machine to be adjusted to its full conical tilt and back to parallel in only 5 seconds for the life of the machine.

Planetary Guides
plate roll planetary guides

By using exclusive planetary guides, available on MG Plate Rolls, we are able to keep approximately 50% more area of the plate under bend pressure during the rolling operation, thereby allowing the MG Plate Rolls to roll down to 1.1 the upper roll diameter. This allows MG Rolls to have a 30% advantage on tight diameters.

Spherical Roller Bearings

Spherical roller bearings are extremely energy efficient. The eliminate bushings and the necessary running tolerance they require. A negligible loss of energy due to friction whereas bronze bushings take 25-30% of available energy to overcome inherent friction.

Cone Rolling

Through exclusive technology, MG Plate Rolls can develop cones as easily as competitive machines can develop cylinders. And it eliminates scarring on the surface of shell or roll and also eliminates, in most cases, the need for grinding the lamination (bullnosing) on the minor diameter edge.

MG Angle Roll

Technology

Model #: AR140, 5 X 5 X 1/2″ angle leg out

Using the same award-winning technology incorporated in MG’s world-famous 3 and 4 roll plate bending machines, MG has revolutionized the section and angle rolling market. Using the same characteristics and components as MG’s plate bending machines, MG is able to offer stronger machines with higher quality and performance than other manufactures to a very competitive price.

  • Heavy steel fabricated frames machined on CNC machining centers ensure extreme accuracy.
  • Three drive rolls each with an independent hydraulic planetary motor eliminating secondary reduction gearing, connecting arms, chains, synchronization devices and clutches.
  • Two forming rolls for reduction on flat ends.
  • Double roll spherical bearing (SKF or equal) for maximum rigidity.
  • Hydraulic motors attached directly to each planetary drive, eliminating loss of torque.
  • Tooling is modular and can be configured to roll most standard sections. For rolling pipe and tube or beams and channels the hard way, special tooling can be ordered.

Standard Features of Angle Rolls

  • AR140, 5 X 5 X 1/2″ angle leg out

    Profile Bending Machines Ready to Use

  • Peripheral Speed Compensating System
  • Three-Dimensional Guide Rolls
  • Broad Equipment of Standard Rolls

Standard equipment includes a set of modular rolls that are suitable for rolling most of the commonly used commercial sections such as flats, angles, square and rectangular tubes, Tees, channels, and beams.

The three-dimensional lateral guide rolls are hydraulically powered on the AR140 and larger machines and can be adjusted to work very closely to the bending rolls, minimizing the distortion of non-symmetrical profiles. Moreover the guide rolls are equipped with the tooling to bend angle leg-in. This tooling can also be effectively used for calibrating the bending diameters or recovering bends that are too tight.

Controlled Axis

AR360, 8 X 8 X 1-1/8″ leg in and out

Machines with controlled axis are required to achieve consistent curves between straight parts, multiple radii or compound curves, tapered or variable pitch helical coils, pancake coils, etc.

The AR line offers two types of controls which allow you to store your programs.

The MG 3000 Control electronically interfaces with all three axis. The feeding speed is infinitely variable.

In addition to electronically interfacing with all three axis, the CNC PRO Control has the capability to interpolate the movements of the forming rolls with any other axis. The Control has data connection capability. It can be linked with other PC via floppy disk, serial port or LAN. The feeding speed is also infinitely variable.
