    四、Hydraulic system

    The machine adopts an independent oil circuit system design with two functional sections. The first is the main transmission section, which supplies power to the top work roll; the second is the auxiliary transmission section, which provides power for the turnover of the winding head. A stacked valve structure is adopted, featuring the following advantages:

    1. It reduces the space occupied by equipment and installation;

    2. Specialized installation skills are not required, and the hydraulic system can be expanded or modified quickly and conveniently;

    3. It eliminates the use of flow divider-combiner valve synchronization systems that are susceptible to inconsistent pressures between two cylinders, resolves issues such as leakage, vibration and noise caused by pipeline connections, and improves the reliability of the hydraulic system;

    4. Composed of stacked modular components, the system facilitates maintenance and inspection.

    Each oil circuit is equipped with two relief valves for pressure regulation. The maximum set pressure of each oil circuit is 25 MPa, which mainly controls the pressure of the main cylinder. The other relief valve is set at 16 MPa to regulate the pressure of the turnover cylinder and balance cylinder. The main cylinder in each oil circuit consists of two sets of stacked components to adjust the movement speed of the main cylinder, matching the operating speed requirements of the top roll under various working conditions. Proprietary pre-pressure relief technology is applied to effectively prevent hydraulic shock and extend the service life of pipelines and seals.

    b. High-quality hydraulic components are selected to guarantee the stability of the hydraulic system.

    c. Corresponding test points are installed at all input and output ports of the hydraulic system to facilitate maintenance and fault diagnosis.

    d. The system is manufactured in strict compliance with national and industrial standards. Pipeline bends feature a reasonable radius of no less than 90° with smooth transitions. Vibration-damping pipe clamps are arranged properly to effectively suppress hydraulic shock and mechanical vibration, ensuring shock-free and vibration-free operation of hydraulic pipelines.

    e. The system design fully prioritizes high efficiency and energy conservation to minimize power waste and heat generation sources.

    五、Electrical Control System

    1. The electrical control system consists of hardware components including the main electrical cabinet and dedicated control software.

    2. The system is equipped with two operating modes, namely touch screen control and manual control, which can be switched conveniently.

    Sensors are products of well-known brands to guarantee positioning accuracy and realize position monitoring of work rolls.

    3. Main technical indicators:

    Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): ≥20,000 hours

    Display accuracy: ≤±0.2 mm

    Synchronization accuracy during synchronous displacement control for lower roll lifting and side roll tilting lifting: ≤±0.2 mm

    Sensor displacement resolution: ≤0.1 mm

    4. PLC Control Principle:

    The upper roller universal bending machine consists of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), its digital and analog expansion modules, peripheral circuits, displacement sensors and other components.

    The touch screen communicates with the PLC via a dedicated communication cable to acquire data including upper roller displacement, data of balance cylinders and tilting cylinders, as well as the input and output status of the PLC.

    The touch screen and the PLC integrate all the above information and conduct intelligent processing to control the PLC output signals. Through intermediate relays, the peripheral electrical equipment is controlled to adjust motor operation and hydraulic valve switching, so as to ensure the normal operation of the control system and maintain its operating accuracy. Meanwhile, the control system displays various data and information such as displacement, alarms and output status on the screen in a combination of graphics and texts.

    Control System Functions: The PLC system can display a variety of real-time data and plate bending information.

    This system features advanced design, favorable operability, safe and stable operation and excellent fault tolerance, with the following functions.

    Real-time display of the absolute positions of both ends of the top roller, as well as soft and hard limit protection functions for all moving components; fault self-diagnosis display and intelligent judgment function for operational errors

    Power-off memory function: If the position of the work roller changes for some reason after an unexpected power cut during operation or complete machine shutdown upon completion of plate rolling, the PLC system will automatically track and accurately display the actual position once power is restored.

    Safety protection function: In case of emergencies, operators can quickly and conveniently shut down the equipment and system to guarantee the safety of both equipment and personnel.

    Control functions:

    The touch screen communicates with the programmable logic controller (PLC) via a dedicated communication cable to acquire data including four displacement values (up, down, left and right) of the work roller and PLC input/output status. It integrates all the above data with the PLC and conducts intelligent processing to control PLC outputs. Through intermediate relays, peripheral electrical appliances are regulated to control motor operation and hydraulic valve switching, thereby realizing normal operation of the control system.

    七、Technical Features of Three-Roll Universal Bending Machine

    7-1. Convex Top Roll with Supporting Roll Adjustment Beneath Bottom Rolls for High Straightness of Workpieces The supporting rolls installed under the bottom rolls are adjustable to precisely control the straightness of finished products, which significantly improves the linearity of workpieces.
    7-2. Rear Bending Rolling for High Roundness of Workpieces Convex top rolls are adopted. The preset crown of the top roll is generally set to 70% of the uniformly distributed load on the roll. The bottom rolls feature a relatively small diameter and are supported by vertically adjustable supporting rolls underneath.Based on the load of rolled workpieces, the three-roll universal bending machine applies rear bending (the feeding direction of the plate is opposite to the moving direction of the top roll). While the top roll descends, the bottom rolls rotate to realize continuous bending. The plate ends can be pre-bent under direct pressure, eliminating rear angles caused by front bending. In addition, the length and shape of residual straight edges can be controlled.

    In contrast, asymmetric three-roll machines usually adopt front bending. Operators need to pre-bend both ends of the plate first and then perform symmetrical rolling for forming. This mode requires skilled operators, tends to create rear angles on workpieces, and makes it difficult to control the shape of residual straight edges.

    7-3. Measures to Reduce Edge Offset of Workpieces

    The three-roll universal bending machine adopts the following solutions to lower the edge offset of finished products:

    1. Control the dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerance of the center distance between the two bottom rolls as a key process;

    2. Adopt electro-hydraulic synchronization of the top roll equipped with a feedback system for automatic leveling.

    The stroke of the top roll hydraulic cylinder is detected by a rotary encoder and compared by the controller. High and low electrical signals are transmitted to the programmable logic controller (PLC), which controls the electromagnets of the electromagnetic directional valves at both ends of the top roll through continuous feedback and comparison.
