Variable width roll forming apparatus

一种可变宽度辊轧成形设备(90)使材料带成形并包括一个基本在辊轧成形设备(90)的全长上延伸的第一侧板(38)和一个基本在辊轧成形设备的全长上延伸的第二侧板(40)，第一侧板(38)和第二侧板(40)彼此等距离地定位。多个辊模具组件设置在第一侧板和第二侧板内形成的孔中。一个调节设置(206)用于可选择地改变第一侧板(38)和第二侧板(40)中的预定的辊模具组件之间分开宽度，其中辊轧成形设备(90)在设置在第一侧板和第二侧板中的辊模具组件之间限定至少两个不同的宽度，同时保持第一侧板(38)和第二侧板(40)之间的基本等距离的间距。 A variable width roll forming apparatus forms a web and includes a first side plate extending substantially an entire length of the roll forming apparatus and a second side plate extending substantially an entire length of the roll forming apparatus, the first side plate and the second side plate being oriented substantially equidistant from one another. A plurality of roller die assemblies are disposed in apertures formed in the first side plate and the second side plate. An adjusting apparatus is utilized to selectively change a separation width between predetermined roller die assemblies in the first side plate and the second side plate, wherein the roll forming apparatus defines at least two differing widths between roller die assemblies disposed in the first side plate and the second side plate while maintaining the substantially equidistant spacing between the first side plate and the second side plate.
