Motorized Scroller

[aametalmaster]

Since we are bending here is my Scroller and it is motorized with a 60:1 gearbox and a 3/4 hp motor 1,000+ inch pounds of torque. I can scroll 1,000 pcs of 3/16"x1" metal in a day with no effort or strain on my body like bending them by hand...Bob

Bob- Is that shop built or commercial. It looks simple to make.

Can you post some pics of the individual scroll pieces looking straight down on them. I would like to make a manual scroller for my bender and need the dimensions.

The scroller itself is a Shop Outfitters Metal Bending Tools Tube and Pipe Bending unit. The design of the base and gearbox setup is mine. I will get you some pics Monday...Bob

Bob does the ''spinig'' stops when u stop pushing the button ? or u have a counter that counts how many rotations the machine made and every time it stops at a given amount of rotations ? I am also into building one right now ...but it will take some time until i find the time to finish it ! ...Right now i am building the counter and the software for it

I would rather have a foot switch that turns it when stepped on but the drum switch works fine. So yes i have to flip the switch to start/stop it...Bob

Do u get all the scrolls even ? No need to calibrate them later ? Do u have reverse ?

Yes i have reverse and the scrolls come out all the same because there are lines scribed in the die where i just stop the part at the line...Bob
