Roller Solutions Tooling for Increased Productivity



Mate Precision Tooling's Roller Solutions tooling family is designed to allow fabricators to quickly and cost effectively create rib, shear, offset and pincher features in sheet metal. "Compared to traditional methods utilizing progressive forming tools, Mate Roller Solutions increases productivity when creating detailed metal forms," said a company spokesperson.

Roller Solutions Tooling is available in the following configurations:

  • Rolling Rib tooling is engineered to reduce the time taken to create stiffening ribs in products requiring additional strengthening. Ribs may be created in any contour, and started or ended anywhere on the sheet.
  • Rolling Shear tooling is used for slitting and nibbling operations. The spokesperson noted that it improves these functions by virtually eliminating burrs and reducing scrap. The rolling shear can be used to perform high-speed straight line and contour cutting.
  • Rolling Offset tooling is designed to create offsets and eliminate the need for press break secondary forming operations. This tooling can quickly create straight line and contoured offsets.
  • Rolling Pincher tooling allows parts to be quickly and cleanly separated from surrounding metal without burrs. By utilizing precise scoring, this tooling creates parts that easily snap from the sheet with high quality edges.

Designed for thick-turret B-station applications, all four Mate Roller Solutions tooling handle high-speed applications equal to the programmed table travel speed. The tooling works well on a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, mild steel and aluminum.
