Constructed from ST-52 quality steel, the machine frames are built for exceptional strength and durability. The entire body undergoes CNC machining, ensuring precise surface finishes and perfect parallelism across all axes. This advanced production process not only enhances the longevity of the machine but also ensures the precision of its critical components.<br> </li> <li><strong>BEARING GUIDANCE SYSTEM:</strong> Our rolls are equipped with spherical roller bearings for superior guidance. This advanced bearing system requires minimal lubrication and guarantees long-term precision and reliability.</li> <li><strong>HARDENED AND GROUND ROLLS:</strong> Our rolls, made from SAE 1050 (CK45) forged steel, are precision-machined using CNC technology to ensure optimal quality. Each roll undergoes induction hardening for enhanced durability and performance. </li> <li><strong>AUTOMATIC BALANCE SYSTEM:</strong> To achieve precise bending, maintaining the parallelism of the bottom roll is crucial. Our machines are equipped with a PLC electronic balance system that automatically adjusts the parallelism with the press of a button on the control panel. This ensures accurate and consistent bending performance. <br> </li> <li><strong>ROLLS AND CROWNING</strong><br> The rolls are crucial components of plate roll machines, and their quality significantly impacts performance. Many market machines feature smaller diameter rolls that can deform during pre-bending, leading to flat spots on the plate edges.</li> <li>At Gator, we address this with larger diameter rolls made from high-quality forged steel. These rolls are precisely machined using advanced CNC lathes. Their working surfaces are CNC induction hardened and polished to a hardness of HRC 54-58, with hardness tested at multiple points to ensure uniformity. This robust construction allows for a minimum bending diameter of 3 times the top roll diameter.</li> <li>To counteract roll deflection during pre-bending, our rolls are machined with a crown. We also offer custom crowning designs tailored to different materials or thicknesses at no additional charge, ensuring optimal performance for various applications.<br> </li> <li><strong>ADJUSTABLE BOTTOM ROLL PRESSURE:</strong> All Gator plate bending machines feature adjustable bottom roll pressure. This functionality allows for precise bending of materials with varying thicknesses and qualities, ensuring accurate and consistent results across different applications.</li> <li><strong>Top Roll Hydraulic Drop End and Upward Mobile Top Roll:</strong> GATOR plate bending machines come standard with a hydraulic drop end and an upward mobile top roll. This feature facilitates easy removal of the bent material, enhancing operational efficiency and convenience for the operator.<br> </li> <li><strong>CONICAL BENDING SYSTEM</strong><br> Our robust machine body, along with the large side rolls and angular bottom roll, effortlessly handles wide-angle and various diameter conical parts. We’ve streamlined conical bending with an independent bottom roll and side rolls that can move in two directions, allowing precise control over the bending angle.</li> <li>However, it's important to note that if the bending angle exceeds 3 degrees, the performance may decrease due to imbalanced load distribution on the machine’s bearings. As the bending angle increases, there can be up to a 50% reduction in the effective length and thickness of the material.<br> </li> <li><strong>CONICAL BENDING AUXILIARY PARTS:</strong> In addition to the central conical support roller, the GTR series features adjustable auxiliary rollers on each side of the machine. These side rollers provide enhanced support and flexibility, ensuring precise and consistent conical bending across a range of applications.<br> </li> <li><strong>INFRARED SAFETY SENSOR: </strong>Our GTR series machines are equipped with infrared sensors that detect IR light emitted from objects within their field of view. This system enhances both operator and equipment safety by preventing potential damage, thereby increasing overall work and worker protection.</li> <li><strong>HYDRAULIC MOTOR AND PLANETARY GEAR BOXES:</strong> The Four-Roll GTR series simplifies material bending with fewer steps, thanks to its high-torque drive system. Each roll is powered by independent hydraulic motors and planetary gearboxes, all aligned on the same axis to ensure maximum power transfer to the sheet with no loss of force. This design minimizes the risk of material slippage during pre-bending, preventing potential damage and enhancing safety.</li> <li><strong>PLANETARY GUIDE SYSTEM: </strong>The side rolls are mounted on hydraulic pistons that move in a planetary motion, allowing for precise vertical adjustments. The Planetary Guide System ensures a greater distance between the top and bottom rolls compared to other systems. This increased distance accommodates a wider range of material thicknesses and strengths, making it easier to pre-bend and roll heavy plates.</li> <li><strong>ENCODER</strong>: Our machines feature a hidden encoder designed to record rotational movement accurately while being protected against damage. This encoder ensures precise monitoring and control of turning operations.</li> <li><strong>MAINTENANCE LAMP: </strong>We have made maintenance easier with an interior lighting lamp that is manageable in the touch screen menu.</li> <li><strong>EMERGENCY STOP WIRE:</strong> The emergency stop wire is a crucial safety feature designed to halt the machine instantly, ensuring the safety of the operator and protecting the machine's system. All GTR series models are equipped with a safety cable switch to provide reliable and immediate emergency stop functionality.</li> <li><strong>OIL COOLER: </strong>Oil cooling systems applied to machines are used to improve machine performance and prevent damage that may occur due to over-heating. These systems are typically designed to cool the oil during machine operation, thus preventing the oil from deteriorating due to temperature while performing its function. This system is presented as standard in our GTR 310 and above models.</li> <li><strong>CENTRAL OILING SYSTEM: </strong>The automatic lubrication system enhances the service life of our machines and boosts productivity by eliminating the need for manual lubrication. This feature ensures smooth operation over an extended period, thereby extending the machines' longevity and helping businesses achieve greater efficiency. This system is a standard feature in our GTR 310 models and above.<br> </li> <li><strong>ROTARY CENTRAL SUPPORT AND CRANE EQUIPMENT:</strong> Our G4P series with the 90° rotating lift system, makes materials easy to be carried or lifted by cranes or other equipment. With this equipment, the machine lift system is prevented from taking any damage.</li> <li><strong>OVERHEAD TOP SUPPORT:</strong> It is used for supporting materials with large diameters without the need for crane use during ending.<br> </li> <li><strong>ENGINEERING AND PROJECT TEAM</strong></li> <li>All our machines are crafted by skilled engineers at our factory, utilizing advanced 3D engineering technology and comprehensive mechanical analysis. Each mechanical and electronic system is meticulously designed and tested by specialists in their respective fields.</li> <li>We prioritize components known for their long-term reliability, ensuring that our projects are developed with durability in mind.
