Hello Steve and others.
Taking an electronic approach to this problem should not be that bad. For starters two primary parameters have to be determined;
- Characterize the signal driving the VSD, and the VSD output signal to the timing computer over the pressure range, this could be some type...
Thinking more along the lines of an arbor or power press , with no or minimum spread between bottom support(s), using limiting stop or load, and touching it every 5 to 10" with a relatively small radius tool of 0.10 R or less. The idea is to shorten one side with full width cross wise...
Appreciate the input about a cambering a square aluminum tube.
Taking another tack on forming a shallow camber in a square aluminum tube with minimum machinery. What would the prospects be, for making a series of small narrow linear indentations across one side the tube, to form a chamber in...
Is it feasible to generate a 5% camber (height of curve vs length, ie 100" length and 5" height) in a 3" Sq 1/8" wall 6061-T6 aluminum tube, by welding beads along the side inside the camber? The idea is, the welds would distort the tube into an acceptable curve. This is proposed to make a...
Don't know anyone in the area with a roller. Was considering a press and multipule small bends every few inches. Not shure how to do this without twisting or off plain bends.
Would like to uniformly camber a 3"x3"x.25", 10 foot aluminum angle the hard way (flange in). Camber height would be 5% of the cord 6". Material grade to be determined. Need 5 pieces.
How could this camber be formed without heavy equipment? For starters, two lengths may have to be clamped...
