A dedicated forming capability

Plate, sheet & tube rolling

Sheet, plate, angle, and tube rolling for repairs and fabricated parts.

Plate rolling machine forming steel plate at Barnes Welding

Start with the diameter and required fit

Send the material, profile, dimensions, and target radius or diameter. We will check the current machine fit and any fabrication that follows the roll.

Information to send

Send the profile and target geometry

Include material, width, thickness, quantity, and the target radius or diameter.

  1. Send the material, profile, dimensions, and target shape
  2. Review the geometry and current equipment fit
  3. Confirm the rolling and downstream fabrication sequence
  4. Roll and check the work

Useful questions

What plate thickness can Barnes roll?

Capacity depends on material, width, thickness, and target diameter. Send those details so we can confirm the current machine fit.

Can Barnes roll tube or structural profiles?

Barnes rolls tube and structural profiles. Send the exact profile, dimensions, material, and target radius so the shop can review the setup.

Process control

Material and geometry set the job

Profile, width, thickness, and target radius or diameter determine the setup.

  • Confirm material and profile
  • Plan setup and downstream work
  • Check the required geometry
