Roll Former – Custom Lines

Custom roll forming lines are manufacturing systems that are designed and built to produce specific shapes or profiles from a flat strip of metal, such as steel or aluminum. The process involves passing the strip of metal through a series of rollers, each of which is shaped to bend the metal into a specific shape or profile. The rollers are arranged in a linear fashion, and the strip is fed through the rollers by a set of driven rollers. Custom roll forming lines are typically used for applications that require complex or unique shapes, such as for architectural, construction, automotive, and industrial purposes. The roll forming process is very flexible and can produce parts with high precision and low scrap rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is roll forming?

    Answer:

    Roll forming is a continuous metal forming process in which a flat strip of metal, such as steel or aluminum, is passed through a set of rollers, each of which is shaped to bend the metal into a specific shape or profile. The rollers are arranged in a linear fashion, and the strip is fed through the rollers by a set of driven rollers. As the strip passes through the rollers, it is gradually bent into the desired shape or profile. Roll forming is used to produce a wide variety of metal products, including structural shapes, framing, roofing and siding, metal decking, and other building components. It is also used to manufacture automotive and other industrial parts, such as tubing, angles, channels, and more. Roll forming is a cost-effective process that can produce parts with high precision and low scrap rates.

  • What are custom roll forming lines?

    Answer:

    Custom roll forming lines are manufacturing systems designed to produce continuous lengths of custom-shaped metal profiles from flat metal coils. The process involves feeding a flat metal strip or coil through a series of rollers that progressively shape the metal into the desired profile.

    Custom roll forming lines are designed to produce a wide range of complex shapes and sizes to meet specific customer requirements. The process allows for precise control over the final shape, dimensions, and tolerances of the finished product, ensuring high quality and consistency.

    Custom roll forming lines typically include a range of equipment, such as decoilers, levelers, feeders, pre-punching stations, roll formers, post-cutting stations, and stacking systems. The specific configuration of the line can be tailored to the specific needs of the customer and the desired product.

    The resulting custom-shaped metal profiles can be used in a wide range of applications, such as building and construction, automotive, transportation, appliances, and many others.

    Overall, custom roll forming lines offer a flexible and efficient solution for producing high-quality, custom-shaped metal profiles with consistent quality and high precision.
