The Mate Rollerball™ tool creates stiffening ribs and decorative beads in sheet metal parts without a secondary operation. It is available in popular tool styles including: Ultraform for Thick Turret, Thin Turret, 112/114, and Trumpf style.
The Mate Rollerball tool forms the sheet metal by pinching the material between the two, omni directional, ball bearings of the upper assembly, and the single ball bearing in the lower assembly. The shape of the form is the result of programs created in the punch press programming system.
