ROLL DRAWINGS
The BCS Rollform Module I is a quick and easy method
of generating roll drawings for the production of rollform
profiles. The system utilizes a spreadsheet approach that
allows the operator a simple means of entering data into
the system. There are three basic operations within the
system -
1) Entering finished product information. - Entering
the finished product description can be completed by
either entering the proper data (number of bends, bend
angles, bend radii and segment lengths) or you can import
a DXF CAD file of the finished part. The finished product
spreadsheet page has a series of columns that equal the
number of bends in the part and a row for each of the
following - bend angle, segment length, bend radii, bend K
factor and the bend type.
2) Generating the progressive flower - The
progressive flower spreadsheet page has a column for each
bend of the part and a series of rows equaling the number
of passes being utilized. The operator simply enters the
amount of work ( the current angle of bend) for each bend
at each pass and the system automatically calculates the
bend allowances and generates the progressive flower. The
operator can cycle the system to view the flower and
return to the spreadsheet as often as desired until the
proper results are accomplished.
3) Generating the finished roll drawings. - Once the
operator is satisfied with the progressive flower he can
generate the rolls around the individual pass section
drawings. The system utilizes a series of "ROLLHUBS"
to generate the completed roll drawings. The operator
selects the HUBTYPE for each side of each pass and the
system adds the hubs to the profile section itself to
generate the completely dimensioned roll drawing.
