We are looking at helping a customer with a roll forming machine. He wants to form metal up to 10 gauge stainless, aluminum, and mild steel. Figure a sheet of metal 24 inches wide by 96 inches long with ribs spaced at ~6 inches parallel with the long edge of the sheet. Also the long edges would have a 2 inch radius ending with the edge pointing down at 90°.
Of course he wants this non-marring, and fully adjustable with respect to rib spacing.
Are there any good books or other resources that I can use to learn about forces and torques required when engineering a machine like this?
