Abstract

See full text

An apparatus (50) for and method of manufacturing structures (116) includes coaxial rotating faceplates (74, 89, 97), capable of rotation at different angular speeds. A plurality of forming rollers (76) and diameter defining rollers (78) are mounted on the inner faceplate (74, 89), which, in operation, cause a strip material (80) to be plastically deformed into a helical winding which may be lain down in abutting or self-overlapping relationship to form said tubular structure (116). A plurality of support rollers are mounted in a circle on the inner faceplate (74, 89) at a distance from the axis exceeding that of the outermost forming roller and serve to support the stock of strip material.
