The RS 500 rolling shear was developed to cut thin-walled pipes made of metal, e.g. chimney pipes, ventilation pipes, rainwater downpipes, etc.
It is not a converted beading machine, but a special design that meets the high requirements for rigidity and precision during cutting. Typical applications are the cutting out of defectively welded pipe sections and the cutting to length of fitting pieces.
The advantage of cut fitting pieces compared to pipes welded to the same desired length is, in addition to shorter production times, also a much lower risk of cracking during subsequent end expansion.
