<p>Tristan Hume: Added a construction idea</p> <hr /> <div>{{GVCS Header}}<br /> <br /> =Overview=<br /> Research for the Metal Roller.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Hotrolling.jpg|thumb|400px|right|Hot Rolling]]<br /> <br /> =Ideas=<br /> <br /> * It seems likely that the metal rollers will need to be carved out of large castings on a lathe in order to be smooth and solid. In order to avoid the need for a lathe during construction it might be possible to use the machine itself as an in place lathe by temporarily rigging the roller drive system for high speed and mounting a cutting bit. --[[User:Tristan Hume|Tristan Hume]] ([[User talk:Tristan Hume|talk]]) 03:59, 28 January 2015 (CET)<br /> <br /> =Next steps=<br /> *search the wiki for metal rolling pages<br /> *grab links from youtube, google, and wikipedia for relevant information.<br /> *Classify metal rolling techniques<br /> *identify industry standard designs/manufacturers<br /> *evaluate designs against [[OSE Spec]]<br /> *formulate design for CAD team<br /> *etc...<br /> <br /> =Research=<br /> <br /> * This is a great introductory article on the design of roll forming machines by Chuck Summerhill of Roll-Kraft.
