Heavy vehicle component manufacturer improves repeatability with roll bender March 4, 2021
Situation
For more than 130 years, Italy-based Rolfo SPA group has produced fittings for heavy vehicles. Recently its fabrication of a profile was causing difficulty.
Workers were producing the profile using a manual press. The result was literally a hand-made product, and each one was dimensionally unique because it could not be made with repeatable accuracy.

The company acquired a six-roll profile bending machine from MG SRL. This SZ 140 machine can bend a profile in the opposite direction to form an S. The profile passes through two pairs of rolls that hook it; the third pair (bending rolls) move on vertical and horizontal axes to bend the profile in one direction and then in the opposite one.
