ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method is disclosed for forming a variety of shapes and sizes of shaped structural members. The apparatus and method includes a first portion on a traveling plate having successive sets of opposed upper and lower roller sections arranged so that the roller sections of one side are adjustable to the roller sections of the other side to partially form the sheet member and cut the member to a selected length. A second portion has successive sets of upper and lower rollers and also has movable roller sections along one side for adjustability. Adjustable entry guides in the front portion establish the lip dimension. The front portion is reoriented relative to the rear portion to establish flange height and the rear portion position determines the web width. Separate drive motors are provided for the first and second portions that are synchronized in operation by using hydraulic motors and hydraulic controls.
