W11F 6x1600 Asymmetric Plate Rolling Machine
The W11F 6x1600 asymmetric plate rolling machine is a compact mechanical three-roll solution for forming thin sheet into cylinders and curved components. It combines up to 6 mm nominal rolling thickness, 1600 mm working width, three Ø155 mm work rolls and electric synchronous side-roll lifting.
Mechanical Asymmetric Three Roll Plate Rolling Machine
The W11F-6×1600 is an asymmetric three-roll plate bending machine developed for light-gauge sheet rolling, controlled plate-end pre-bending and cylindrical forming. The upper, lower and side rolls are arranged asymmetrically to clamp, feed and form the metal sheet.
The machine has a confirmed maximum working width of 1600 mm and a nominal rolling thickness of up to 6 mm. Practical capacity depends on the material grade, yield strength, actual sheet width, target diameter, springback and required remaining straight edge.
All three working rolls have a confirmed diameter of 155 mm. The rolls are manufactured from 45# forged round steel and processed through rough turning, quenching and tempering, finish turning, surface hardening and cylindrical grinding.
The mechanical drive, electric synchronous side-roll lifting and compact structure make the machine suitable for fabrication workshops requiring practical operation and straightforward maintenance.
- Asymmetric three-roll plate-bending structure
- Up to 6 mm nominal rolling thickness

Is the W11F-6×1600 Suitable for Your Workpiece?
Buyers searching for a 6 mm plate rolling machine, 1600 mm sheet-metal roller or mechanical three-roll plate bender should compare the complete forming requirement, not only nominal thickness.
Occasional or Small-Batch Rolling
A practical mechanical solution for fabrication workshops that do not require a high-cost CNC or hydraulic plate rolling system.
Thin-Sheet Cylinder Forming
Suitable for compatible sheet used in ducts, covers, housings, light cylinders and curved fabrication parts.
Easy Operation and Maintenance
Mechanical transmission and compact construction provide straightforward operation for first-time or general workshop users.
Controlled End Pre-Bending
The asymmetric roll layout applies forming force close to the plate edge to help reduce the remaining flat section.
Repeat Workpiece Positioning
Optional digital electric adjustment can display roll position and reduce repeated setup time during batch work.
Verified Machine Selection
Send the material, width, thickness and target diameter so the actual capacity can be confirmed before ordering.
W11F 6x1600 Asymmetric Plate Rolling Machine Advantages
Public buyer discussions about three-roll plate rollers frequently focus on flat ends, slipping, springback, minimum diameter, workpiece removal and ease of operation. The W11F configuration addresses these requirements through controlled clamping and asymmetric forming geometry.
Asymmetric Roll Layout
The offset side roll creates a longer forming lever arm and supports plate-end pre-bending before cylindrical rolling.
Reliable Sheet Clamping
The upper and lower rolls clamp the sheet to create feeding traction and reduce material slipping during repeated rolling passes.
Electric Side-Roll Lifting
Electric synchronous lifting controls the side-roll position and reduces repetitive manual adjustment.
Hardened 155 mm Rolls
The 45# forged steel rolls use a specified HRC45–50 hardness and a multi-stage machining and heat-treatment process.
Compact Mechanical Drive
Mechanical transmission provides a straightforward structure that is practical to operate, inspect and maintain.
Optional Digital Positioning
The optional digital system displays roll displacement and can return the roll to a recorded position for repeated work.

Mechanical Transmission and Electric Roll Adjustment
The upper roll is driven through the mechanical transmission system and can rotate forward or in reverse. The plate and roll surfaces transmit motion to the accompanying roll during the forming process.
The side roll moves along the frame guide and rises electrically to apply forming force. Its asymmetric position relative to the clamping rolls supports both plate-end pre-bending and central cylindrical rolling.
The optional digital configuration displays roll movement and allows the operator to record a previous position for repeated production. This can reduce setup time when rolling similar workpieces.

How the Asymmetric Three Roll Plate Roller Works
Popular searches such as “how to roll a sheet-metal cylinder,” “plate-roll pre-bending” and “how to reduce flat ends” relate directly to the following operating sequence.
Load and Align
Insert the sheet between the working rolls and align the edge before applying clamping pressure.
Clamp the Sheet
Adjust the lower-roll position to clamp the material and create the traction required for feeding.
Pre-Bend the Edge
Raise the asymmetric side roll and feed the sheet to form the plate edge and reduce the remaining flat section.
Complete the Cylinder
Use gradual repeated passes and position adjustments until the required radius and seam alignment are achieved.
Common Plate Rolling Problems and Selection Risks
Public metalworking discussions frequently mention residual flat ends, material slipping, springback, uneven diameter and machines that cannot reach the expected minimum radius.
Flat Ends Remain After Rolling
Correct pre-bending reduces the straight section, but the final result still depends on material thickness, strength, roll position and operator setup.
Sheet Slips During Feeding
Correct clamping pressure, clean roll surfaces and gradual forming passes help maintain reliable sheet traction.
Final Diameter Is Too Large
Material springback must be considered. The operator may need controlled over-bending and repeated passes to reach the required final diameter.
Cylinder Diameter Is Uneven
Roll alignment, equal side positioning, consistent feeding and first-piece measurement should be confirmed before batch production.
Machine Capacity Is Misunderstood
A 6 mm rating cannot be separated from material strength, working width, minimum diameter and pre-bending requirements.
Finished Cylinder Is Difficult to Remove
The reference machine uses a manually pulled-out upper roll. Finished-workpiece size and weight must be considered before selecting the unloading method.
