Spanish term

Rodillo (formador) para fabricación

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Insurance Insurance Claim
Insurance Claim

This is in a list of items in which there are a lot of abbreviations and unfortunately not much context.

"DAÑOS A RODILLO (FORMADOR) PARA FABRICACIÓN DE LAMINA, SE LES CAYÓ POR MANIOBRAS, R.C."

Would this be a "laminate roller"? Is the word "formador" redundant?

I'm really not sure what the abbreviation R.C. stands for above.

Thanks in advance

Manufacturing Roller Die (Forming Tooling)

Las sugerencias de los colegas son buenas, a mi parecer es mejor la de Helena ... ver la definición de Roll Forming (que viene siendo el proceso) pero la herramienta en sí es 'Roller Die' ... saludos

Roll forming, sometimes spelled rollforming, is a metal forming process in which sheet metal is progressively shaped through a series of bending operations. The process is performed on a roll forming line in which the sheet metal stock is fed through a series of roll stations. Each station has a roller, referred to as a roller die, positioned on both sides of the sheet

Roller die for the manufacture

Roll forming
Roll forming, sometimes spelled rollforming, is a metal forming process in which sheet metal is progressively shaped through a series of bending operations. The process is performed on a roll forming line in which the sheet metal stock is fed through a series of roll stations. Each station has a roller, referred to as a roller die, positioned on both sides of the sheet. The shape and size of the roller die may be unique to that station, or several identical roller dies may be used in different positions. The roller dies may be above and below the sheet, along the sides, at an angle, etc. As the sheet is forced through the roller dies in each roll station, it plastically deforms and bends. Each roll station performs one stage in the complete bending of the sheet to form the desired part. The roller dies are lubricated to reduce friction between the die and the sheet, thus reducing the tool wear. Also, lubricant can allow for a higher production rate, which will also depend on the material thickness, number of roll stations, and radius of each bend. The roll forming line can also include other sheet metal fabrication operations before or after the roll forming, such as punching or shearing.

As for R.C., seeing as you're talking about an insurance claim, it could stand for Responsibilidad Civil (Civil Liability)

Thank you! The whole translation would be something like, "Damage to the roller die used in sheet manufacture, which was dropped whilst handling".
