A two-roller plate rolling machine forms flat sheet or plate into cylinders, arcs, and certain tapered shapes by pinching the material between two driven rolls and applying controlled pressure to create plastic deformation.

Plate rolling machines turn flat metal plate into cylinders, cones, and curved shells that become the backbone of heavy fabrication. If your product includes round bodies, tapered sections, or large-radius bends, plate rolling is often the most direct way to form consistent geometry before welding, flanging, and finishing.

In sheet-metal fabrication, flanging forms a controlled lip on an edge so the part can be strengthened, sealed, rolled, welded, or assembled with predictable fit. The main decision is often shape-driven: are you flanging a straight tube or drum, or a conical transition that changes diameter along the length?

A hydraulic flanging machine looks simple from the outside, but the right selection depends on what you form, how consistent the flange must be, and how your shop controls safety, changeovers, and uptime. This guide breaks the decision down into practical checks you can use before requesting a quotation, specifying tooling, or planning installation.

A flanging machine is a specialized piece of sheet-metal forming equipment used to bend or roll the edges of a metal workpiece at a precise angle—typically 90° or 180°—to create a flange. This flange strengthens the component’s structure, allows safe edge handling, and provides a clean surface for welding, sealing, or assembly.

Metal spinning machines are versatile forming systems that can process a wide range of ductile metals and alloys. The choice of material depends on the desired mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, finish quality, and forming complexity.

A CNC spinning machine is a computer-controlled version of the traditional metal spinning lathe. It automates the spinning process by guiding the motion of the spindle and rollers through pre-programmed toolpaths, enabling precise, repeatable forming of circular metal parts.

A metal spinning lathe machine is a forming system that reshapes a flat metal blank or preform over a rotating mandrel to produce axisymmetric parts such as cones, hemispheres, cylinders, reflectors, cookware bodies, ventilation components, and pressure vessel ends.

Flanging machines are specialized forming systems designed to create precise, repeatable flanges on metal components of different shapes and sizes. Because flange geometry directly affects strength, sealing, and assembly accuracy, flanging machines have evolved into multiple types, each optimized for specific workpieces and production requirements.

Flanging machines play a critical role in metal fabrication by forming precise, repeatable edges that improve strength, assembly accuracy, and sealing performance. Their applications span sheet metal components, pipes, and tanks, where flange geometry directly affects downstream processes such as welding, fastening, sealing, and structural reinforcement.

Flange processing machines are specialized metal-forming systems designed to create precise flanges on the edges of cylindrical, conical, or flat metal components. A flange is a formed edge that may be bent, rolled, curled, or expanded outward or inward to improve structural strength, enable assembly, enhance sealing performance, or prepare parts for welding and fastening.

In metal fabrication, flanging is not just an edge-forming step. It is a quality-critical operation that affects assembly fit, sealing performance, structural rigidity, and downstream finishing consistency. A well-matched flanging machine helps manufacturers stabilize dimensions, reduce rework, and shorten cycle times across cylindrical, conical, and sheet-metal edge processes.
