6 Core Competitive Advantages

Four-Roll Servo Electro-Hydraulic Closed-Loop Coordination (Core Highlight)

Upper/lower rolls and dual side rolls adopt independent servo proportional drive + high-precision grating ruler full closed-loop feedback. System synchronizes four-roll motion trajectories in real-time; side rolls can dynamically and continuously adjust elevation following the program, achieving smooth continuous variable-curvature arc-line processing. Motion positioning accuracy ±0.05mm, arc-line transitions are natural with no inflection points or impact.

Single-Setup Bidirectional End Pre-Bending, Minimal Residual Straight Edge

Classic four-roll structure: upper and lower rolls clamp the plate, dual side rolls perform bidirectional pre-bending without requiring plate turnover. Both end pre-bending processes are integrated into the same workstation; residual straight edge can be controlled to as low as ≤1.5× plate thickness. Significantly reduces cutting allowance and scrap, especially suitable for stainless steel and high-value alloy plate processing.

All-Roll Synchronized Drive: Anti-Scratch, Anti-Slip Process

Upper and lower rolls are main drive rolls, equipped with high-torque servo motors. Under four-roll clamping condition, plate friction force is uniform. Servo system matches roll cylinder linear velocity in real-time, eliminating relative sliding between plate and roll surface, effectively preventing surface scratches on stainless steel and aluminum alloy plates. Low-speed and high-speed modes switch smoothly; thin and medium-thick plates achieve stable forming.

Heavy-Duty Forged Work Rolls + Segmented Deflection Compensation System

Work rolls adopt 42CrMo premium alloy steel integral forging, quenching and tempering + deep induction hardening; roll surface hardness is high while core toughness is strong. Wide-plate processing optionally equipped with multi-point dynamic deflection compensation device, offsetting roll cylinder bending deformation under pressure, ensuring uniform curvature along the entire arc line across plate width. Cylinder straightness and roundness meet ASME and GB pressure vessel standards.

EZHONG Self-Developed Arc-Line Intelligent CNC System (Variable-Curvature Dedicated Program)

Supports direct DXF/CAD drawing import; system automatically analyzes arc contour and generates continuous rolling program. Built-in springback database for carbon steel, pressure vessel plate, stainless steel, and high-strength steel; automatically calculates springback compensation based on plate thickness and yield strength. Supports graphic simulation preview; simulates forming trajectory before processing to prevent scrap in advance. Programs can be saved and batch-recalled. Open industrial Ethernet interface; can integrate with MES production lines; supports remote fault diagnosis and data collection.

Standardized Automation Supporting Structure

Standard hydraulic flip-over unloading mechanism for rapid unloading after cylinder forming. Optional plate automatic centering device, infeed/outfeed load-bearing roller conveyors, workpiece following support brackets, conical cylinder rolling auxiliary mechanism. Optional roll surface hard chrome polishing treatment, compatible with stainless steel and mirror-finish plate processing.

Industry Pain Points

Traditional plate rolling equipment faces significant challenges when processing high-precision arc-shaped components.

Common limitations of conventional plate rolling equipment when processing high-precision arc components:

  • Workpieces require multi-segment variable curvature arcs, non-standard arcs, or elliptical shells. Ordinary equipment can only perform single-radius rolling, requiring multiple segmented bending operations and manual assembly, resulting in discontinuous arc lines and surface creases.
  • Excessive residual straight edges on both ends of plates require secondary cutting, leading to significant material waste. Multiple flipping and clamping operations result in large positioning deviations and poor product consistency.
  • Stainless steel and alloy thin plates are prone to scratching and slipping. Rolling speed is unstable, and arc accuracy is heavily influenced by operator skill level.
  • Batch production relies heavily on skilled technicians. Multiple trial rolling attempts are required, resulting in high scrap rates and difficulty meeting the precision dimensional requirements of pressure vessels and high-end equipment.
  • Ordinary hydraulic CNC systems have slow synchronous response and cannot dynamically adjust side roll positions in real-time, making it difficult to achieve smooth continuous variable arc-line forming.

Frequently Asked Questions - EZW12XS Series Specific

What makes the EZW12XS series different from ordinary hydraulic CNC four-roll machines?

The core difference is the servo electro-hydraulic closed-loop coordination system. Ordinary hydraulic CNC has slow synchronous response and cannot dynamically adjust side roll positions in real-time, making it difficult to achieve smooth continuous variable-curvature arc-line forming. EZW12XS adopts independent servo proportional drive + high-precision grating ruler feedback; side rolls can continuously and dynamically adjust elevation following the program with ±0.05mm positioning accuracy, supporting multi-segment variable-curvature arcs, ellipses, and conical cylinders.

What types of arc-line forming can be achieved?

Supports: (1) Conventional equal-radius circular arcs and cylinders; (2) Multi-segment tangent circular arcs (different radii smoothly connected); (3) Gradient curvature arc plates (continuously changing radius); (4) Elliptical cylinders; (5) Conical cylinders; (6) Special irregular arc-shaped shells. Programs can be generated by importing DXF/CAD drawings, with automatic arc contour analysis.

How is residual straight edge controlled?

The classic four-roll structure with upper/lower roll clamping and dual side roll bidirectional pre-bending integrates both end pre-bending in the same workstation without requiring plate turnover. Residual straight edge can be controlled to ≤1.5× plate thickness (for example, 20mm thick plate has residual straight edge ≤30mm), significantly reducing cutting allowance compared to traditional equipment's ≥3× plate thickness residual edge.

How does it prevent surface scratches on stainless steel and aluminum alloy plates?

Uses all-roll synchronized drive anti-scratch process: (1) Upper and lower rolls are main drive rolls with high-torque servo motors; (2) Four-roll clamping ensures uniform friction force distribution; (3) Servo system matches roll cylinder linear velocity in real-time, eliminating relative sliding between plate and roll surface; (4) Optional roll surface hard chrome polishing treatment. This combination effectively prevents surface scratches and slippage on stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and mirror-finish plates.

Does the arc-line intelligent CNC system support drawing import?

Yes. Supports direct DXF/CAD drawing import; system automatically analyzes arc contour and generates continuous rolling programs. Built-in springback database for carbon steel, pressure vessel plate, stainless steel, and high-strength steel; automatically calculates springback compensation based on plate thickness and yield strength. Supports graphic simulation preview to verify forming trajectory before processing, preventing scrap. Programs can be saved and batch-recalled, suitable for repeated production.

What is the positioning accuracy and can it meet pressure vessel standards?

Motion positioning accuracy ±0.05mm.
