Plate Support Table for Marine Hull Plate Bending Roller

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Plate Support Table

Definition

The Plate Support Table is an integral part of the Marine Hull Plate Bending Roller, specifically designed to hold, position, and stabilize large steel plates (typically used in ship hull construction) as they are fed into and processed by the bending rollers. It ensures proper alignment, prevents sagging or deformation of the plate under its own weight before bending, and facilitates smooth material handling throughout the forming operation. The table provides a flat, rigid, and often adjustable surface that supports the plate from below. It may incorporate rollers, guides, or clamps to assist with plate feeding and positioning. Its primary function is to maintain the plate in the correct horizontal plane and orientation relative to the bending rollers, ensuring consistent and accurate bends by counteracting gravitational forces and initial plate irregularities. This component is typically fabricated from carbon steel or alloy steel, offering the necessary strength and rigidity for heavy-duty marine applications. Key parameters include a rated load capacity of 50–200 tonnes, table width of 2000–6000 mm, table length of 3000–12000 mm, height adjustment range of 0–500 mm, positioning accuracy of ±0.5 mm, roller diameter of 100–300 mm, roller material hardness of 45–55 HRC, drive motor power of 5.5–22 kW, power supply of 380 V AC, operating temperature of -10–50 °C, ingress protection rating of IP54 (per IEC 60529), and net weight of 5000–20000 kg. These values are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application. The Plate Support Table is a critical component for ensuring the quality and efficiency of the plate bending process in shipbuilding. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the bending roller system, providing a stable platform that enhances operational safety and precision. For procurement, it is essential to confirm the exact specifications with the legal manufacturer or supplier, as the actual values may vary based on the configuration and requirements of the bending roller. The table's design and construction are tailored to withstand the demanding conditions of marine hull fabrication, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Working Principle

The table provides a flat, rigid, and often adjustable surface that supports the plate from below. It may incorporate rollers, guides, or clamps to assist with plate feeding and positioning. Its primary function is to maintain the plate in the correct horizontal plane and orientation relative to the bending rollers, ensuring consistent and accurate bends by counteracting gravitational forces and initial plate irregularities. The height adjustment mechanism allows precise alignment with the roller center, while the rollers on the table surface reduce friction and facilitate smooth material handling. The table's structural integrity and material hardness are critical to withstand the heavy loads and wear during operation.
