Sheet metal or composite material rolling is a cold plastic deformation process that allows modification of metal sheet profiles, generally giving them a curved shape.
Similar to certain rolling mills, the rolling machine consists of several rotating cylinders made of steel or cast iron, between which the material intended for processing passes.
In metal sheet processing, rolling machines are arranged so that the metal sheet, passing between rollers, follows a circular path, thus allowing the creation of conical or cylindrical elements.
Rolled metal sheets are used to cover curved surfaces, a technique that requires constantly evolving and improving technological expertise.
In our metalworking shop, rolling is a daily operation. Our work methods, designed to routinely handle large production batches, allow us to optimize time, delivering finished products quickly and with extreme punctuality.
Our inventory is efficiently organized and safeguarded against stockouts through digital management, allowing us to fulfill orders immediately.
The machines used in this process can be equipped with three or four rollers with parallel axes, arranged so that the sheet, during its passage, follows a circular path.
The radius of this curve is controlled by adjusting the relative position of the rollers, allowing the creation of conical or cylindrical shapes.
There are also specific plate rollers that enable cold bending of metal profiles.
The plate roller, also known as a sheet metal bender, is a machine formed by rotating cylinders of various sizes, parallel to each other, through which the sheet metal to be processed passes.
The material to be processed is positioned between the lower rollers and the upper one which, securing it in place, subsequently allow the curvature of the product to be created. To create curves with a wide radius, the lateral rollers must move apart, while to obtain curves with tighter radii, they must move closer together.
With the use of a 4-roller plate roller, it becomes possible to create special processes, such as conical rolling, essential for creating products with specific and unconventional geometries.
This technique is particularly appreciated in fields such as design architecture, automotive and nautical industries, where every detail contributes to defining the uniqueness of the final product, or in air movement systems, where changing the section of ducts is necessary.
The movement of the sheet metal occurs thanks to the central roller which, powered by a robotic motor, allows it to slide over the other appropriately spaced rollers.

Aluminum rolling is an essential industrial process for obtaining precise and uniform curves on sheets and plates of this material.
Aluminum, with its resistance to corrosion, versatility, and lightness, represents one of the most widely used materials in industrial, architectural, and design sectors.
Canfora offers specialized rolling services not only in the Turin area but extends its services to customers throughout the Piedmont region, with particular attention to the areas of Turin and Novara, extending to the nearby Valle d’Aosta and Liguria.
The strategic location of the company in Turin allows it to effectively serve the entire Piedmont territory, ensuring fast deliveries and customized solutions for every need.
In case the designs are not provided, our in-house team handles the design and the first prototypes of the parts to be produced, starting from raw material.
We have in-depth knowledge of our work and of industrial workflows
for high-volume production lines.
La carpenteria è la fase finale: assembla le parti metalliche che le macchine tagliano e deformano. Il vantaggio è che tutti i processi sono svolti e coordinati internamente minimizzando errori e tempi morti.
The multi-axis welding robot facilitates access to the weld joint, ensuring an optimal weld pool and guaranteeing consistent welding quality during continuous 24-hour operation.
