Introduction • External Search • Types of cutting and forming devices • Internal Search • Puncher • Roll former • Dual wheel cutting device • Explosion forming
External Search • Metal cutting and forming machines • Automated • High volume • Adjustable length • 110V power source • 50lbs or less
Strip Cutters • No forming devices • High rate of speed • Adjustable width and length • Capable of cutting metals © Sheffield Cutting Equipment, Inc.
Continuous Forming • Variable width • Nearly infinite shapes • Low volume • Higher maintenance Examples include seamless gutters and metal roof sheeting © Roller Die Inc. © New Tech Machinery Corp.
Internal Search • Punch forming • Roll forming • Dual wheel forming • Explosion forming
Punch Forming • Cuts and forms in one motion • Few moving parts • Simplistic design • Timing and alignment issues • Limited to cutting methods
Roll Forming • Multiple methods of cutting • Shape only as accurate as rollers • Timing and alignment issues
Dual Wheel Forming • High speed • Accurate • Few moving parts • No complex PLC • Difficult and costly to manufacture • Separate wheels for lengths • Alignment issues
Explosion Forming • Any design, material, and thickness • Fewer processes • Low tooling cost • Short prototyping time • Dangerous • Suited for small production
Conclusion Machine will have to be designed as a custom device using some type of forming and cutting mechanism. Final design to be determined after more analysis.
