Slip Roll Overview - Baileigh Industrial 3-IN-1 Operator's Manual

SLIP ROLL OVERVIEW

The slip roll section can be used to roll up to 20ga. (0.912mm) x 40" (1016mm) wide mild steel.
It consists of 3 hardened rolls. The rear roll is adjustable to control the radius of the piece part
as it is being formed. The closer the rear roll is brought to the front upper roll, the tighter the
radius. The two front gear driven rolls pinch the material and pull it against the rear roll, forcing it
up towards the front upper roll. The top front roll has two adjustment knobs, one on each end of
the machine, to control the upper and lower roller spacing for different material thicknesses.
When removing the formed piece part, the top front roll can be slipped out.
• When the slip roll section is not being used, the operator can cover the rolling mechanism
with the formed steel pivoting cover / guard.
• The rear roll can be adjusted to a raised or tilted position on one end to roll cones or left flat
to roll cylinders or arcs.
• Located on the end of the upper and lower rolls are three wire or forming grooves. These
can be used for forming small diameter tubing or wire into rings or curved shapes.
• To prolong the life of the rolls, always keep them clean and well lubricated. Remove burrs
from the edges of any sheet metal being processed through the rolls.
• DO NOT exceed the rated capacity on this slip roll. It has been tested at the factory to roll 20
ga. (.912mm) x 40" (1016mm) wide mild steel.
• Because material springback varies with the kind of material being formed, only by test
forming several pieces can the correct adjustments be made.
CAUTION:
in handling the piece as it exits the rolls. Failure to adequately support the piece part
may result in the piece falling and causing bodily injury.
