Methods of presetting material
Presetting involves bending the ends of material before it is formed into a cylindrical or conical shape. Presetting is important because it ensures the product will be uniform in shape and will have a smooth transition at the seams. When a cylinder is made using pyramid rolls, the ends remain flat. This is because when the material passes through the rollers, it doesn't start to bend until after it gets to the last roller on the machine. The extra material is cut off to ensure a smooth join.
Press a transitional shape
A press brake is used to form straight line bends in sheet-metal and plate. Press brakes are adjustable which means that the depth of the stroke can be varied throughout operation. Once it is accurately adjusted, start forming the transition using the correct pressing sequence. The finished transitional shape is checked with templates and by laying it over an identical layout on a flat surface to ensure that the corners are square (90 degrees), there is no twisting, the round end is the correct
