  • Sheet metal rolling machine for forming complex shapes
    Patent number: 11267026
    Abstract: First drive roller and second drive roller are coplanar and adjustable about an axis to increase or decrease the distance between the same to accommodate varying thicknesses in material. A first shaping roller and a second shaping roller that are also coplanar are provided with ends tiltable on an axis with respect to each other. While the first drive roller and the second drive roller remain parallel with respect to each other, the first shaping roller and the second shaping roller are not constrained in a parallel orientation, but rather can tilt with respect to each other to form sheet metal with complex shapes.
