Rolling a Helix

ROLLING A HELIX
In a true helix, the material is twisted. Roll Bending operates only in one plane and therefore Wagner cannot actually roll a helical bend. However, we have found that on larger centerline radii – 15' and above – we can calculate a radius bend that will lay flat on the floor but that can be tilted up into place to meet the requirement.

• Center Line Radius (CLR) in the plan view
• Angle in the plan view
• The total rise in the above specified angle
OR
• Center Line Radius in the plan view
• Slope angle of stair
• The total usable arc length required
