Which machine is designed for both flat sheet metal and cylindrical work?

The rotary machine is specifically designed to handle both flat sheet metal and cylindrical work due to its adjustable tooling and ability to perform various operations like bending, rolling, and shaping. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, allowing for the processing of flat materials into curved forms without the need for multiple setup changes. Its design encourages efficient transition between different types of workpieces, which is particularly advantageous in metalworking environments where both shapes are frequently utilized.

The cornice brake, although effective for bending flat metal into various angles, does not facilitate cylindrical work as effectively. The arbor press is primarily used for press-fitting and does not specialize in shaping metal. The hydraulic press is very powerful and useful for various pressing tasks but is not specifically geared toward both flat and cylindrical specifications in the same versatile manner as a rotary machine.
