by automatic generation:
If the rolls should get the same contour as the profile, the automatic generation by scanning the profile is very useful. This method works for any kind of profile, folded too.
- Afterwards, the rolls can be modified by a set of powerful functions:
- conical extension, cylindrical extension
- split at corner, split between corners, join
- turn, move, delete
- cut, copy, paste (to and from the clipboard)
- change width, diameter and fillet radius at each corner
by CAD design:
Otherwise, if you want to define the roll contour by yourself, the CAD design is recommended. Simply transfer the profile drawing to CAD and design the desired roll contour by modifying the profile contour. Afterwards transfer the roll contour back to PROFIL. The functions for modifying the rolls can be used, too.
by using rolls from the roll stock:
To re-use existing rolls from the roll stock, use the Roll Stock Management. More..
