Roll Forming Brochure
Our roll form lines are ideal for higher volume parts. Due to this type of processing, we are able to hold very tight tolerances
~Rodney Curtis - Plant Operations Manager
Roll forming bends metal as it passes through consecutive sets of rolls or stands, each performing an incremental part of the bend until the desired cross-section is obtained. Our roll forming lines are highly flexible allowing for integration of multiple processes into a continuous flow. Roll forming is:
- A flexible process that allows for low cost adjustment of tools for variations in flange width, web width, material thickness, and material physical properties
- Ideal for producing parts with long lengths or large quantities
- More efficient than stamping for symmetrical parts
- Perfect for a fixed cross section that requires varying lengths of components
- An efficient substitution for extruded components based on:
- Weight per part
- Annual usage exceeding 50,000 linear feet
- Consistency in gauge whereas extrusions vary in weight and gauge as extrusion dies wear
- lock seam
- lance and tab
- glue
- in-line welding
Roll Forms vs Extrusions
One example of roll forms replacing extrusions is in solar panel mounts. As demand for solar panels increase companies are looking for more efficient manufacturing process.
