Bead roller

Description

A bead roller is a specialized tool commonly used in metalworking and automotive industries. It plays a crucial role in shaping and strengthening sheet metal. The primary function of a bead roller is to create various types of beads, flanges, and contours on metal sheets, enhancing their structural integrity and providing additional strength and rigidity. The basic design of a bead roller typically consists of two adjustable rollers, one of which is powered, while the other is manually adjusted. These rollers work in tandem, clamping down on a sheet of metal, allowing it to be passed through the rollers. As the metal passes between the rollers, they exert pressure, shaping the material according to the desired pattern. The result is a bead or flange that adds strength and stiffness to the sheet.
