Rollforming Benefits

Rollforming is a process in which steel or other metal coil is progressively shaped across its linear axis, through a horizontal series of roller dies, into shapes of uniform cross-section and thickness and then cut to specified length. Where medium or large volumes are involved, rollforming provides major advantages over pressbraking...

• Reduced labor and material handling
• Faster, continuous production with reduced cost-per-piece
• Greater accuracy, uniformity and consistency throughout both the individual piece and production lots
• The rollforming process can incorporate perforating, notching, punching, etc., thus reducing secondary operations, parts rejections, and related costs
• Precision parts facilitate savings in labor and costs
• Speedier assembly resulting from part uniformity and tighter tolerances
• Far longer lengths are achievable
• More surface-friendly for prepainted, precoated and preplated metals
• Two separate pieces/materials can be simultaneously formed, in a single operation, to produce a strong composite part
