Hello Community
I have to design rollers for a cold profiteer and I'm stuck on determining some parameters
1 number of stations
2 Angle of elasticity
3 Radius of Folding
According to my research, it seems that these parameters are according to the material, thickness and desired precision, I try to look but I can't find how to proceed, need your lights, thank you in advance
To relive the subject 
I didn't really understand the request...
The last profiteer left with my car!

I wonder about the cost of production compared to folding?
Hello @tous
Indeed it is a sheet metal profiler (good joke from the word autocompletion, and even better that of sbadenis 
), ac-cobra, the production rate is impressive but profitable only for large series, also advantageous with regard to the shapes (certain shapes) and length of the profiles
It's more about bending than bending in the end. Widely used for bending tubes or aluminium profiles
For my part,
1 number of stations==> 4 per 22.5° increment depending on the thickness
2 angle of elasticity==> -1° or 89° but it varies depending on the batches of sheets
3 radius of the bend ==> the larger the better, the better the stiffness

That's the problem, I can't find a kind of abacus linking the different parameters 
You can't do tests, make your own abacus it's the safest and most appropriate to your means of manufacture.
May the force be with you

Unfortunately it's not possible to try, it's expensive to manufacture and rework (the simple fact of having to add a station will imply the modification of all the other stations of the same flop😅 it can pass for elasticity since it's the last step but not from the start,
(honestly I would know how to get out of it for the shape case in question, we already have pebbles for the same thickness and similar geometry, I am rather trying to develop a methodical basis for the different situations of thickness and shapes 
)

@ac_cobra_427 has grown closer
Unfortunately it's only an excerpt, and they didn't describe the procedure,
Interesting the link, thank you,
I don't have any experience in the field, but I intend to look at the software side, if you know any, I'm interested
Ok, specific software
------Thank you all------
