roll groover

A Rollnut = rolled groove

The machine can be either a roll groover or a roll groove machine.

See ref.

e.g.
model 1010 - PORTABLE ROLL GROOVER

Capacity: 1 1/2" through 12" (38-305mm)

Produces accurately rolled grooves in a wide range of pipe types-including newer varieties of thin-wall pipe. Use it in the shop or at the job site. Easily operated hydraulic hand pump delivers up to 8000 psi of rolling force to the pipe face. Pre-set depth gauge automatically controls depth of rolled groove. Pipe is rotated by means of a speed reducer driven by the unit's electric motor. The drive shaft and idler shaft are machined from Vacuum Melt Aircraft Quality alloy steel to insure long service life. Easily interchangeable Top and Bottom Rollers (average time: less than 3 minutes) permits rapid change of ' pipe diameters with nominal set-up costs.

groove rolling machine

Only 2 Google hits, though, and one is French.

The term "thread rolling machine" is well-established, though, so this term ought to be analogous with regard to grooves which are not intended for use as threads.

grove rolling machine

Groove rolling is a special way of coupling tubes + pipes.

"TubeConect grooves are cold-rolled and do not affect the mechanical characteristics of the pipe."

For a nice picture, see the link.
