International Roll Forming Process

Roll forming is a continuous metal forming process taking sheet, strip, or coiled stock and bending or forming it into shapes of essentially identical cross section by feeding the metal between successive pairs of rolls that increasingly shape it until the desired cross section is completed adding both strength and rigidity to lightweight materials. The process adds both rigidity and strength to the roll formed material. During the roll forming process, only bending occurs. The thickness of the metal is not changed except for a slight thinning of the material at the bend radius.

Roll Forming Process

The roll forming process characteristics include:
• Its common usage to mass produce mass long metal pieces with relatively close tolerances,
• The utilization of ductile workpiece materials, softer metals,
• Working with materials that are usually less than 1/8" thick and 20" wide,
• The capability to produce desired workpieces at a forming speed of 100 feet per minute (fpm),
• Its strong suitability to produce decorative and structural metal products often for roofing and siding.

Roll forming machines are now being produced so that for similar products such as stud and track profiles, a new set of profile rolls is not required. This is achieved by the mill being split along its center line and the web, flange and ear sizes are set using a control panel which moves the mill rafts centrally to increase or decrease the aforementioned features.

Custom Roll Forming benefits
• High-speed, high-volume fabricating process,
• Infinite number of shapes possible,
• Thinner cross sections and practically any length can be roll formed,
• uniformed cross sectional dimensions throughout the length of the part,
• Almost any metal can be roll formed
• Eliminates multiple operations - secondary operations can be done at the same time, e.g., punching, notching, etc., thus saving valuable time

Roll Forming: Precision Metal Shaping Process For Industry

From the earliest days of civilization the metal used to create weapons, armor tools the vehicle structure, jewelry and art. Since strength and ductility of metals in the form of one or other end use application almost as much. But the process of managing and forming metal handle better than early forges and blacksmithing techniques in several specific changes in the industry and speed automatic

One such process automation in the metal forming the shape to run a roll formed. Also commonly referred to as a single process that is rollforming series of coils or areas that are set for each continuous bending metal incrementally, progress through more rolls until the desired final shape is reached, it usually starts with the steel roll held by the Cabinet made the attached unrolled and fed into the cut and then rolled into a plant. A very efficient process, and many forms to long long

Cold Roll Forming Process

Roll to create a more advanced bending metal. You can also include holes or by drilling and wavy embossed pattern on a metal or wood, such as modeling. Can be used with any type of metal, including a mix of high or low iron and aluminum. Is the system tend to employ more accurate computer models to optimize the use of small coils to achieve the desired final shape.

It is roll formed by heating the metal remaining in the solid state cooling has many advantages compared to pressing Will not affect the chemical or physical properties of metals to achieve the final shape. Cold roll formed section of a typical compressive strength and lighter counterparts can also draw and finished in the same process. A labor intensive process is not expensive products.

Roll forming process of a diverse program with many Good examples of roll formed metal shelving and metal precision and curved serrated The process is used in the automotive industry to create a common chassis and to the impact bar. Are used in the construction industry for a variety of small The result is simple or highly complex to collaboration between users and manufacturers for achievements.
