What Is a W24S Profile Bending Machine?
The W24S is a three-roll hydraulic profile bending machine designed
to form structural steel sections into arcs, rings and curved shapes.
Depending on the machine model and tooling configuration, it can process
angle steel, channel steel, I-beam, flat bar, round pipe, round bar,
square tube and other special profiles.
All three working rolls are driven. The two side rolls are hydraulically
adjusted, allowing the operator to change the bending position and
gradually form the required radius.
The correct machine should not be selected only by profile width or
thickness. Profile shape, section size, material strength, bending
direction and minimum required bending diameter all affect machine selection.
What Profiles Can the Machine Bend?
Different profile shapes require different rolls or dies.
The W24S series can be configured for a wide range of structural sections.
| Profile | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Angle Steel | Frames, rings and curved structural components |
| Channel Steel | Structural arches and fabricated frames |
| I-Beam | Large curved beams and steel structures |
| Flat Bar | Rings, flanges and curved parts |
| Round Pipe | Pipe arcs and circular structures |
| Round Bar | Mechanical rings and curved components |
| Square Tube | Frames, architecture and fabrication |

How to Select the Right W24S Model
For profile bending machines, the workpiece specification is more important
than simply asking for a machine tonnage.
Please provide:
- Profile type
- Section dimensions
- Material grade
- Bending direction
- Minimum bending diameter or radius
- Maximum bending angle or full-circle requirement
- Expected production quantity
Example of Useful Information
Angle steel: 100 × 100 × 10 mm
Material: Q235
Bending direction: Outside bending
Minimum diameter: 1500 mm
Final shape: Full circle
How Does the W24S Machine Work?
The profile is fed between three working rolls. Hydraulic movement
of the side rolls changes the bending position while the driven rolls
continuously feed the material through the machine.
By adjusting the roll position step by step, the machine gradually
forms the required arc or radius.
For asymmetric sections such as angle steel and channel steel,
guide rolls and correction devices can be configured to help control
deformation and twisting.
Main Features
The machine configuration can be selected according to the actual profile
and production requirement.
3 Rolls Driven
All three working rolls are driven to provide stable material feeding
during the bending process.
Hydraulic Side Roll Adjustment
Hydraulic roll movement allows progressive adjustment of the bending
position and radius.
Pre-Bending Capability
Pre-bending helps reduce straight ends and improve material utilization.
PLC Control Option
PLC-based control can be configured according to the selected machine
specification and automation requirement.
Guide Roll Option
Guide and correction devices can help stabilize asymmetric profiles
such as angles and channels.
Different Dies Available
Tooling can be selected according to profile shape, size and bending direction.
Can the W24S Perform Pre-Bending?
Yes. Hydraulic movement of the side rolls allows the operator to perform
pre-bending before the main rolling process.
This helps reduce the unbent straight section at both ends of the workpiece.
The actual straight-end length depends on the profile shape, tooling,
material and required bending radius.

Profile Bending Machine vs Plate Rolling Machine
Profile Bending Machine
Used for structural sections such as angle steel, channel steel,
I-beam, flat bar, round pipe and square tube.
Typical finished products include arcs, rings and curved structural frames.
Plate Rolling Machine
Used for flat metal sheet or plate.
Typical finished products include cylinders, cones and curved shells.
is normally required. If your raw material is flat sheet or plate,
a plate rolling machine is usually the correct solution.
Machine Test Video
Real bending tests are especially useful for checking profile deformation,
forming stability and tooling suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What profiles can a W24S machine bend?
Depending on the machine model and dies, it can process angle steel,
channel steel, I-beam, flat bar, round pipe, round bar, square tube
and other profiles.
Can one machine bend different profile shapes?
Yes. Different profile shapes can be processed by changing the dies
and adjusting the guide system. Machine capacity must still cover
the largest required workpiece.
Does each profile require different tooling?
Different profile geometries often require suitable dies to support
the section correctly and reduce unwanted deformation.
What information is required before machine selection?
Please provide profile type, section dimensions, material grade,
bending direction, minimum bending diameter or radius and required final shape.
Can the machine make a full circle?
Yes, for suitable profile sizes and diameters. Final feasibility should
be checked according to the actual section, material and tooling.
Can angle steel be bent inward and outward?
Yes. Different bending orientations are possible, but machine capacity
and tooling need to be checked for the required direction.
What determines the minimum bending diameter?
The minimum diameter depends on profile shape, section dimensions,
material strength, tooling configuration and machine capacity.
What is the difference between W24S models?
Larger W24S models are designed for higher section modulus and higher bending loads.
Is PLC control available?
PLC control can be configured depending on the selected model and
required automation level.
Can guide rolls be added?
Yes. Guide rolls and correction devices can be configured for angle steel,
channel steel and other asymmetric sections.
