A bead roller allows the fabricator to ensure the straightness of the lines, as well as ease of rolling. Generally, the edge of the bead roller comprises 6 inch plates, which come up against the sheet metal. This helps you to bead the metal completely straight.Sep 13, 2017

What is the purpose of bead rolling?
A Bead Roller is a machine tool that makes rigid lines in sheet metal to make surfaces more rugged and durable. The lines bead rollers add to sheet metal prevent warping and disfigurement by adding structural integrity to the metal.
Why does bead make metal stronger?
Beads produce restraining forces that control material flow from the binder to be drawn into the die work envelope; this control, helps prevent metal fractures while ensuring sufficient draw in to successfully achieve the part geometry. ... The smaller these radii, the greater the setting force.
