The main feature that makes the EMO machine the most flexible plate roll on the market, is the peculiar geometry that allows to work from time to time as a 4 rolls machine, vertical or planetary guides, and this is the reason that most of the plate rolls manufacturers, thanks to the great success of the EMO, added in theirs machines range an EMO style machine.
All this thanks to the bottom rolls that move on a horizontal axis and independently from each other with variable steps, while the top roll motorized, moves on a vertical axis.
Due to the variable steps we can have:
1- great versatility (increasing the distance between the bottom rolls and maintaining the same thrust from the top roll, we are able to bend big thickness, decreasing such distance we are able to bend smaller thickness);
2- the plate is kept horizontal during the pre-bending process (therefore safer for the operator);
3- total dimensions of the machine decreased compared to a 4 roll machine, therefore no need for a pit up to certain size.
Maximum flexibility.
