<p>The present invention provides an apparatus and method for forming a thick steel plate into a rolled shape for making a pipe. The apparatus of the present invention includes a lower forming unit (50), which has a support base (12) provided on a bottom of a frame (10) and has two support rollers (52a) and (52b) provided on the support base, and an upper forming unit (60), which is provided in the frame above the lower forming unit and has a pressing head (65) provided so as to be vertically movable. The apparatus further includes a rotation drive means fo reversibly rotating the support rollers in place, and a vertical and lateral motion drive unit to move the support rollers in vertical and lateral directions. Therefore, the present invention can easily form the thick steel plate into a rolled shape having a circular cross section for making a pipe.</p> |
