ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for controlling flare in roll-forming processes are disclosed. An example method of controlling flare involes moving a material through a roll-forming process and measuring the material to obtain a flare characteristic associated with a zone of the material. A position of a roller is then automatically varied to change the flare characteristic associated with a zone of the material as the material moves through the roll-forming process.
