Are you tired of traditional sheet metal flaring methods that slow down your production and leave unsightly scratch marks on your sheet metal surface?
We are thrilled to officially launch our next-generation Rolling Flare Wheel Tool (also known as the Rolling Flared Edge Tool). Specially engineered for high-performance flared edge punch press forming applications, this tool is set to redefine how you handle sheet metal finishing.
Traditional punch press forming methods rely on upper and lower shear stamping, which often leads to tool galling and scratches—especially on sensitive sheet metal like aluminum, stainless steel, or pre-painted sheets.
Our Rolling Flare Wheel Tool solves this problem by utilizing high-precision, heavy-duty roller bearings. Instead of rubbing against the metal, the tool smoothly glides along the sheet, forming a perfect, consistent flared edge with zero friction scratches.
● Flawless Surface Quality: The rolling mechanism ensures a pristine, scratch-free finish, eliminating the need for costly secondary deburring or polishing.
● Ultimate Flexibility: Easily form beautiful flared edges on straight lines, large radii, and complex, tight contours.
● High-Speed Productivity: Seamlessly integrates into your CNC punch press, allowing for continuous, high-speed forming cycles.
● Premium Durability: Manufactured with wear-resistant tool steel to withstand high-volume industrial production.
● Wheel Function Support: This tooling is fully compatible with Trumpf punch presses equipped with the wheel function.
The application requires a three-pass process to achieve the final form. At the end of the forming path, the wheel rolls off the material. While this may cause minor distortion at the start and end of the run, it is well within standard industry tolerances.
● Clearance & Safety: Always maintain an approximate 0.5” (12.7 mm) gap around the protruding die. Exercise extreme caution to prevent the sheet metal from colliding with the tall die during high-speed feeding.
● Forming Strategy: A three-pass method with alternating left-to-right movements yields the best results with minimal material warping. Attempting a two-pass approach with excessive initial forming will cause severe bowing, leading to sheet feeding and machine crashing issues.
● Circular Flanges: For flanged circular openings, program a three-pass sequence: the tool lowers into the opening, gradually feeds into the material, and completes a full 360° pass. Repeat this cycle three times to achieve a flawless finish.
