ROLL-KRAFT DEVELOPS RAPID-KONVERT SIDE ROLL STAND
FOR ARDCOR “PANEL STYLE” ROLL FORMERS
MENTOR, OHIO - July, 2007
Print Article
Roll-Kraft’s latest generation of the Ardcor side roll stand is specifically designed for “panel style” roll forming machines. This side roll stand requires no adjustment, when making a width change, and will greatly reduce changeover time from previous versions!
The unique design incorporates two separate bases: one mounting to the inboard panel, and the other mounting to the outboard panel of the mill, while sharing common vertical and horizontal adjustment screws. The operator simply opens or closes the panels of the roll former and the side stand maintains the proper position.
Not only does this side roll stand solve the problem of manually adjusting the outboard side roll when making a width change, it can also be independently adjusted, using the fine-tuning feature for non-symmetrical profiles. The addition of digital readouts gives fast and repeatable setups.

Other Features:
- NEAR DROP-IN REPLACEMENT – Although you must drill and tap holes in the mill base to mount the new stands, they are designed to fit within most F-10 panel mill applications. (Note: Some
- models of F-10 outboard castings may require a small amount of machining.) This stand can be
- modified for use with other OEM brands of panel-type machines (contact Roll-Kraft).
- LATERAL ADJUSTABILITY – One common screw adjusts the horizontal position of both side rolls, relative to the centerline of the mill.
- HEIGHT ADJUSTABILITY – One common screw adjusts the vertical position of both side rolls.
- DIGITAL READOUTS – Both the horizontal and vertical locations of the side rolls are displayed on the counters, allowing for quick, accurate, and repeatable setups.
- FINE TUNING – If the application requires individual lateral location of the rolls (i.e. for a nonsymmetrical profile), fine-tuning sleeves are provided, allowing each roll to adjust independently.
