In heavy metal fabrication industries like shipbuilding, pressure vessel manufacturing, and wind tower construction, efficiency and precision are paramount. Traditional plate rolling processes often struggle with bottlenecks: the need for multiple sheet feedings, difficulties in achieving accurate end pre-bending, and handling extreme thicknesses without sacrificing accuracy.
Enter the solution to these operational hurdles: the WS11KY CNC Fully Hydraulic Variable-Axis 3-Roll Bending Machine.
As the latest generation of horizontal downward-adjusting 3-roll plate rolls, the WS11KY is engineered to eliminate inefficiencies. By allowing operators to achieve both end pre-bending and full rolling in a single feeding, it drastically cuts cycle times and overhead costs.
Whether you are working with standard sheets or extreme heavy-duty plates, the WS11KY scales to your production needs.
| Specification | Capability Range |
| Material Thickness | 6 mm — 350 mm |
| Material Width | 1,000 mm — 12,000 mm |
| Drive System | Fully Hydraulic, 3-Roll Drive |
| Control System | Advanced CNC (Auto & Manual modes) |
This machine isn't just about raw power; it combines intelligent control with rugged mechanical engineering to solve everyday fabrication challenges.
One of the standout features of the WS11KY is its highly adaptable bottom rolls.
Infinitely Adjustable: The center distance between the two bottom rolls can be adjusted steplessly.
Independent or Synchronous Movement: Each bottom roll can move independently or sync perfectly with the other.
Angled Configuration: The lower rolls can form a V-shape (figure-eight), allowing the machine to seamlessly switch between highly accurate end pre-bending and heavy symmetrical rolling.
When rolling plates up to 350mm thick, mechanical integrity is non-negotiable.
Premium Work Rolls: All work rolls are manufactured from high-grade forged alloy steel and undergo rigorous quenching and tempering.
Guaranteed Quality: Every machine is delivered with comprehensive documentation, including chemical composition analysis, hardness test results, and ultrasonic flaw detection reports.
Heavy-Duty Bearings: The rolls are supported by extra-wide spherical roller bearings, ensuring maximum load distribution and longevity under extreme stress.
Advanced Pressing: The top roll utilizes an integrated dual-cylinder technology (arranged vertically) for immense, stable downward pressure.
Unlike older models that rely on single-roll drives or complex mechanical linkages, the WS11KY features Three-Roll Full Drive. The top and both bottom work rolls are each driven by their own independent hydraulic motor and planetary reducer. This guarantees zero slippage, smooth rotation, and consistent power delivery even when rolling the maximum plate thickness.
An advanced machine requires an intuitive brain. The WS11KY features a proprietary, industry-leading control system designed for modern fabrication floors.
Dual Operation Modes: Operators can seamlessly switch between manual control for custom jobs and fully automatic CNC control for high-volume repeatability.
Ergonomic Safety: The machine comes with two operating systems—a wireless remote control and a mobile console. For maximum safety, these are hardware-interlocked so only one system can be active at a time, preventing accidental inputs.
Standalone Hydraulic System: The hydraulic power unit is positioned independently from the main machine body. This isolates heat and vibration, drastically simplifies routine maintenance, and comes fully equipped with integrated oil cooling and heating devices to maintain optimal performance in any climate.
The WS11KY CNC Fully Hydraulic Variable-Axis 3-Roll Bending Machine is more than just a piece of equipment; it is a comprehensive solution designed to increase your throughput, improve your rolling accuracy, and reduce your labor costs per part.
