In short, the RM series, and in particular the Ring Roller RM-502, is a great, cost-effective way to get into profile bending. Ships standard with a set of rollers for solid bar (flat, square, & round) and square and rectangular tube. Eerstens moet ek noem dat ek baie beindruk is met die gehalte van die scroller en roller.Weet nie wie jou vakmanne is nie,maar hulle doen goeie werk.Tweedens het ek egter die probleem dat daar nou geen meer reguit lengtes staal in my garage is nie! - Gideon van Kaapstad Just completed this large stainless steel piece...found my rolling machine very handy for much of the work. -Stephen Knysna Some primary and very important features of ring rollers must be considered when determining what profile bender is suitable for your typical and potential applications. They include whether the machine is manual or hydraulic, what the shaft size is, how many shafts does the machine have, what is the motor size, how many driven rolls does the machine have, how many movable bending rolls (shafts) are there, which rolls (shafts) move and in what directions, what is the bending roll (shaft) or rolls positioning mechanism, how is the position of the bending roll or rolls displayed, how is the machine on the whole controlled, what is the distance between shafts, what is the usable length of the shafts, what is the configuration of the standard section tooling, how is the base framework of the machine constructed and from what materials, and what planes can the machine work in.

This Human Hamster wheel used on Big Brother Africa has been made by Mike Mason, using Strongman’s 4 Ton Ring Roller. DIMAKIN’s Ring Roller manual range is entry level to the biggest range of section benders in the world. Particularly the Ring Roller RM-502. Firstly, machines in the Ring Roller range are extremely user-friendly. They are also the most economical way of roll bending a wide variety of different profiles. Ring rollers typically will have the ability to work in two planes. The first of the two is where the shafts are horizontal to the floor and the frontal surface of the machine is perpendicular to the floor. The other position is where the machine is flipped 90 degrees and the frontal surface of the machine is horizontal to the floor and the shafts are perpendicular to the floor. This position better accommodates applications that use long profiles. This refers to how the machine is controlled and the typical configurations are fully manually, hydraulic with digital displays, NC, and full CNC configurations. There are of course a wide variety of varying combinations of the control systems available in either a standard or bespoke configuration.Broadly speaking this terminology can mean many things but with profile benders, it typically refers to how the bending roll (shaft) is physically moved and positioned to perform the bending process. If it is a manual machine the bending roll is positioned with a corkscrew type mechanism. If it is a hydraulic profile bending machine the bending roll position is controlled with up and down buttons that control the direction of the hydraulic mechanism.

Attached are pics of a project that we manufactured using the Roller. Thank you for a superb machine, and for your outstanding support.“ John Miller- The Wrought Iron Factory This primarily refers to the distance between the centre points of the two bottom primary shafts. The top shaft can also be taken into consideration in certain situations. With a machine with the two bottom shafts being positionable the minimum distance between the two bottom shafts in conjunction with their minimum distance to the top shaft will determine, along with the type of and profile of the material, how tight of a ring can be accomplished. Any good ideas appreciated, need to get some 150 x 6 or 8 mm for the base and figure out how I am going top drill the tubes and keep them parallel, guess in the milling machine will see if I can get a 32mm cutter to fit my 30 Int holders.

pieces of 100 x 100 x 4mm wall box section, cut at an angle of 28 degrees, basically because that angle still allowed me to get the box in the vice and cut on the bandsaw. For manual machines, there will be one primary drive motor that drives the driven shafts. For hydraulic machines, there is the main drive motor and then a motor that powers the hydraulic system. Both must be of adequate size and duty in relation to what the section bender is designed to accomplish. Features hydraulic depression of the top roller, for faster bending, and a hand adjustment for fine tuning of diameters. Without knowing what the typical die size is I have assumed a 30mm radius, but think, I need bigger. If anyone can let me know typical sizes I would be a bit happier with progressing. The term “Movable Rolls” generally refer to “Moveable Shafts”. The most common scenario for Angle Rollers is where they have one bending roll that is positioned in the top position of the roll pyramid configuration and moves up and down in a vertical movement and providing bending force. There are ring bender machines with a configuration that has a static top roll and the bottom rolls move up and in towards the top roll either together or separately and through this movement provide bending force on the material.

solid and strong rollers. Mine come from (I suspect) some automotive parts. Original concept is designed using casters so that's another way to go. Some people make their own, but I don't have the tools and skill to make rollers that would be straight and balanced enough. The position of the bending rolls can be display manually with a scale, with a DRO, or on an NC or CNC display. We’ve done several projects, and each one has turned out perfectly. The machine is able to handle everything we throw at it with ease. Any goods items over60 kg that have incurred special freight charges are excluded and the buyer will be responsible for both arranging and thecosts of the return delivery.Typical roll benders will have either two or three driven rolls that will push the material through the bending rolls. For a two driven roll machine, the two bottom rolls are more often than not the driven rolls. Ring rollers generally will have three shafts but some models have four shafts and some with more shafts for special applications.

Because of the Ring Roller series’ simplicity and reliability, these machines ensure that anyone from apprentices through to experienced workers will easily maximise its capabilities. It’s made a huge difference to the time taken to do this kind of work, and the quality of the results. Items under 30kg will be shipped by either 24hr courier or 1st class Royal Mail depending on item and weight and size. Much like all roll benders in the Ring Roller range, the top roll position is manually adjusted. Additionally, there is a basic notched scale that ensures basic repeatability in single pass production runs. Another feature of the Ring Roller RM-502 is that it has two driven lower rolls, as a result, its ridged tooling can grip and pull through the material with ease.One of the most common machines in a manufacturing or fabrication facility is a machine called a Profile Bender. A Profile Bender does exactly what it says, it bends profiles. This type of machine also has many other names that descend directly from the overall versatility of this type of machine. Some common other names include Roll Bender, Profile Roller, Angle Roller, Section Roll, Ring Roller, Ring Bender, Ring Roll Bender, Section Bending Machines, Section Bender, Both horizontal and vertical working positions ensure that even in the smallest workspaces, the Ring Roller RM-502 profile bender will have its place, especially due to its extremely economical footprint.
