  • Patent number: 11660650
    Abstract: To a fulcrum roll unit portion in a workpiece, a corresponding initial curvature radius is applied, and to a bending roll unit portion in a workpiece, a corresponding design curvature radius is applied. To an intermediate unit portion in a workpiece, an intermediate curvature radius set so as to continuously change from the initial curvature radius to the design curvature radius is applied. At least one of the fulcrum roll and the bending roll is moved on the basis of an integrated value obtained by integrating the amount of change in bending position in each of the intermediate unit portion and the bending roll unit portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10661323
    Abstract: Forming roll units included in an apparatus for manufacturing a roll-formed component each include a roll pair. The roll pair includes a receiving roll part and a first bending roll part that face each other. A plate member passing area is formed below the first bending roll part, the plate member passing area allowing a roll formed member excluding its side edge portions to pass through. The roll pair is configured to make, during bending, sliding movement in a width direction of the roll formed member and rotational movement about a normal direction to the roll formed member as a rotational center.
