ABSTRACT:
Variable panel forming apparatus and method disclosed have spaced drive stations and spaced forming stations interspersed with one another and operable independently of one another. The drive stations have upper and lower rollers each independently adjustable to accommodate different panel widths. One embodiment has the forming stations and drive stations mounted on separate frame top cross members with a yoke and an indexing/locating arrangement and a lock down system which enables the stations to be laterally adjusted and to be removed to accommodate different panel widths and different panel shapes. A second embodiment disclosed has the forming and drive stations on the same frame top cross member and has adapter plates and mounting plates with lateral adjustability features to form different panel shapes and sizes.
