Assignee: THE BRADBURY CO., INC.
Field: Machine tools (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A roll-forming apparatus to perform a roll-forming process, the apparatus comprising:
an inlet portion to receive material;
an outlet portion from which the material exits the roll-forming apparatus;
a plurality of rollers extending between the inlet and outlet portions;
a first sensor to measure first data of the material as the material moves through the roll-forming apparatus, the first data corresponding to measurements of the material between the inlet and outlet portions;
a second sensor to measure second data, the second data corresponding to measurements of the material at or proximate the inlet portion;
a model trainer to train a machine learning model with the first data, the second data and corresponding parameters of processed material;
and
material adjuster circuitry to:
provide output from the first and second sensors as input to the machine learning model, the machine learning model to provide predicted output of the roll-forming process; and
adjust the roll-forming process by moving at least one of the plurality of rollers based on the predicted output.
