Plate Roll Bending
RCE Plate Roll Benders
The machines in the RCE series are symmetrical 3-roll hydraulic plate roll benders embodying reliability and quality. It’s three symmetrical rollers are set with wide openings between the rolls and are driven by speed- and position-synchronized independent motors. The wide gap allows bending of a variety of multi-dimensional profiles without damage. RCE series plate roll benders are equipped with a tilting device that integrates pre-bending into the rolling process – delivering perfect pre-bent edges. With its dimensions and hydraulic power, it can be used with a variety of sheet metals – steel, stainless steel and aluminum, even at fine thicknesses between 2mm and 4.5mm without damaging the workpiece. Importantly, the machine design eliminates the possibility of “lamination effect”, which results in wrinkles and deformation of the sheet. The RCE bending machine is particularly well-suited to cone rolling.

RCS Plate Roll Benders
The bending machines in the RCS series are symmetrical 3-roll hydraulic bending and pre-bending machines with exceptional capacity for high thickness sheet metals. It is the most popular Picot bending machine in production, and especially popular among job shops and contractors. Hardened and surface-treated rolls permit the rolling of all type of material, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum and special alloys. Thanks to the sturdy construction and wide distance between rolls, you can bend larger profiles or bars of heavy thickness. The RCS series plate roll bender can be configured and powered to roll metal sheets ranging between 4mm and 39mm in thickness and between 1,100mm and 4,100mm in length based on customer demands.
The RCS Series is constructed to ensure roll plate bending machine with 15% higher average power for pre-bending compared to 4-roll machines of similar capacity available on the market. It was the first roll bender to be equipped with CNC for the fabrication of unit or serial parts.
It is equipped with a tilting device that integrates pre-bending into the rolling process – delivering perfect pre-bent edges. The RCS plate rolling machine is also well-suited to cone rolling.

RAE Plate Roll Benders
The machines in the RAE series are electrically driven 3-roll bending machines with a familiar asymmetrical construction, providing a simple and inexpensive approach for thin sheet metal bends. The RAE is generally for smaller metal sheet workshops or contractors. RAE series roll bending machines are built with a rigid cast iron frame and feature self-lubricating bearings. The machines feature pre-bending roll adjustment managed via handwheel and position indicator to assure accuracy. Its top and pinch rolls are driven by an electromechanical geared motor with brake. The RAE’s upper roll can be retracted to the side to allow for easy removal of parts. Roll rotation is controlled by as double safety foot pedal.

R4C Plate Roll Benders
4-Roll Convenience with 3-Roll Flexibility
The machines in the R4C series are symmetrical, 4-roll hydraulic bending and pre-bending machines delivering 4-roll convenience with the flexibility of Picot’s powerful and intuitive bending software. The R4C is designed for bending both thick metal sheets and cone rolls. With is ease-of-operation, efficiency and reliability, the R4C series is well designed to support high-volume and low-tolerance production. The lower rolls in the R4C series are channel-mounted to limit wear and ensure maximum efficiency. It can also be used as a 3-roll machine (pinching roll in low position) for the realization of cones or other accurate parts. The R4C series plate roll bender is suitable for sheet metal thicknesses up to 39mm.

Picot Easy Roll
EasyRoll is Picot’s AI-based CNC software which makes roll bending more intuitive, efficient and accurate. EasyRoll software leverages Picot’s 150+ years of rolling experience to offer an intuitive and efficient control system. The plug-and-play, HD touchscreen can be operated by users of any experience or skill level. One only needs to select the material, thickness and prescribed diameter to make parts from scratch. EasyRoll comes pre-programmed with a materials database built on decades of results and experience, but also never stops learning – gaining deeper knowledge and control based on the inputs and result of each bending program. EasyRoll allows the bending machine to take into account both spring-back and bending resistance to deliver the correct diameter on the first try. It facilitates single item production as easily as high-volume production runs with either manual or fully automatic operation. EasyRoll comes with modules to calculate roll inclination, cone-forming and even maintenance management.
