Description

 

Aircraft and Aerospace projects require superb precision and repeatability and the RMT™ F-SMART™ series can make it easy to reliably form part after part that you can count on.

 

ADVANTAGES

– Superior spring-back control on thin, high yield materials, by using precise roll positioning and narrow roll geometry. This allows for almost flawless repeatability on even hard to form pieces.

– Gearbox disc braking system allows for perfect press bending without allowing the material to slide.

– Excessive upper beam daylight lets you easily remove parts.

– Portable NC control unit moves with you so you can monitor the forming process anywhere in the work area.

– Independent tiltable in-feed and out-feed tables provide support to protect your forming radius

RMT AIRCRAFT ROLLS REV04 WEB

  • What exactly is an “aircraft roll”?

    They’re ideal for rolling wing edges, fuselage panels, tapered skins, cones, and other curved aerospace parts with changing geometry. The design allows true contouring, not just uniform bends.

  • What makes RMT’s aircraft rolls different from traditional plate rolls?

    RMT’s F-Series aircraft rolls use variable geometry, independent roll adjustment, induction-hardened rolls, dual-speed motors, and precision digital read-outs. The build-quality is high end (stress relieved steel frame, ground & chrome coated rolls) and tailored for aerospace work such as titanium and aluminum leading-edges.

  • What applications are these machines ideal for?

    They are ideal for rolling wing leading edges, fuselage panels, tapered skin panels, cones, and other curved aerospace components where sheet geometry changes across the piece. The machine’s design allows contouring rather than just uniform bending.

  • What materials and thicknesses can RMT aircraft rolls handle?

    RMT’s machines are built to handle aluminum, mild steel, and even titanium alloys with high yield strength. For example the F-FAB series handles aluminum or titanium alloyed sheets with one or more radius, including hyperbolic shapes

  • What length and capacity options are available?

    The machines come in a bending length range from about 6′ up to 34′ (depending on model) for wing / fuselage panels.

  • What safety and quality features are built in?

    Features include induction-hardened & chrome-coated rolls, precise digital position feedback, magnetic disc brakes on gearboxes to prevent material slip, mechanical and electrical overload protection, an emergency stop cable running around the machine

  • How does RMT support maintenance and service?

    RMT provides a service network, preventative maintenance programs, parts & tooling support and technical assistance to keep machines operating at peak performance.

  • What should I consider when selecting an aircraft roll machine?

    Key considerations include: the maximum length of panel you need to roll, the material type (aluminum, titanium etc), the maximum thickness, the required geometry (constant radius vs tapered vs complex), the level of automation (manual vs NC), floor space and installation requirements, and long-term support.

  • How does the geometry control help with spring-back and high-yield materials?

    By using an ultra-small top roll (for tight diameter) and by fully supporting all rolls, the machine can compensate for spring-back from high-yield materials. That means even difficult materials like thin titanium sheet can be formed accurately.

  • How quick/easy is the setup and change-over?

    RMT’s machines are designed for ease of use: motorized rolls, digital read-outs for setup, optional NC controls, and integrated design reduce time needed to set up and adjust for a new panel shape. Once parameters are entered, repeatability is high.
