Methods and apparatus for controlling flare in roll-forming processes

摘要

Methods and apparatus for controlling flare in roll-forming processes are disclosed. An example flare control system determines a first location of a formed component associated with a roll-forming process and adjusts a roller to a first position in response to determining the first location of the formed component. Adjusting the roller to the first position causes the roller to contact a surface of the formed component. The example flare control system then moves the roller from the first position to a second position. The second position is associated with a second location of the formed component. The first position and the second position are associated with controlling the flare in the formed component.
