How Bead Rollers Work

Bead rollers consist of two rotating wheels (rollers) that press against the metal sheet to form a bead as the material passes between them. The bead's shape and size are determined by the design of the rollers. Bead rollers can be manually operated with a crank or powered by an electric motor for more consistent and efficient operation.
