A computer controlled roll forming apparatus (19) is adapted to provide a repeating pattern of different longitudinal shapes to a continuous beam "on the fly" during the roll forming process. A sweep station (20) on the apparatus includes a primary bending roller tangentially engaging the continous beam (21)along the line level and an armature (35, 61) for biasing the continous beam against the primary bending roller (62) for a distance partially around a downstream side of the primary bending roller to form a sweep. Further, actuators (50) adjustably move the armature at least partially around the downstream side of the primary bending roller between at least first and second positions for imparting multiple different longitudinal shapes into the continuous beam. In one form, the apparatus also includes a coordinated cut-off (22), so that when separated into bumper beam segments (21'), the ends of the individual beam segments have a greater sweep than their center sections.

L'invention porte sur un appareil de formage à galet conçu pour produire "à la volée" des exemplaires répétitif de différentes formes longitudinales à partir d'un profilé continu pendant un processus de formage. Un poste de cintrage disposé sur l'appareil comporte: un galet primaire de cintrage appuyant tangentiellement sur le profilé continu le long du niveau de la ligne, et une armature pressant le profilé continu contre le galet primaire de cintrage sur une distance entourant partiellement le côté aval dudit galet de manière à former une courbe. En outre, des vérins déplacent avec précision l'armature au moins partiellement autour du côté aval du galet primaire de cintrage entre une première et une deuxième position de manière à conférer plusieurs formes longitudinales différentes au profilé continu. Dans l'une des exécutions, l'appareil comporte également une cisaille coordonnée telle que, lorsque séparées en segments de pare-chocs, les extrémités des dits segments présentent une courbure plus forte que leur partie centrale.
