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.

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

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

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.
