Roll forming machines are designed to form sheet metal into straight formed shapes. The process powers the flat metal through a series of continuous hardened steel rolls that shape the metal into the finished shape station by station as it passes through them. This method allows rapid prototyping of sheet metal into a variety of shapes. From simple corrugations to fully enclosed elongated shapes. The metal is gradually shaped to prevent excessive stress in specific areas. Because forming takes place by drawing, and in many cases rolling the sheet metal into coils by machine, mass production is possible.
Roll forming is the process of forming a metal coil into a desired shape. During this process, the metal coils are formed by a set of forming rolls. Each frame forming roll gradually bends the metal until it reaches the desired shape. A variety of metals are used in roll forming systems such as aluminum, pre-painted galvanized steel coil, galvanized steel, stainless steel, etc. Roll formed parts are used in many industries such as steel construction, PEB construction, construction, railway and many others.
The forming process of the panel roll forming machine, which is a good technology for mass production of long metal profiles. Roll forming machines can ensure the consistency of the cross-sectional profile of the part and are a good solution. Many parts can be produced using a roll forming machine, such as highway guardrails, roof systems, wall systems for industrial plants, door frames, fence posts, decks, purlins for steel buildings, etc. The continuous rolling of a roll-formed part through a roller die allows closed or open profiles. These profiles have huge applications in manufacturing, commercial construction, aerospace and other applications.
Roll forming machine is the most economical production process for continuous bending of complex shapes such as metal channel steel, angle steel, and multi-bend. It can increase efficiency and reduce costs by adding holes, notches, grooves and embossing in the molding machine. Roll forming machines have high productivity compared to other manufacturing techniques. You can combine the roll forming process with other operations to reduce manufacturing costs.
CAD/CAM systems assist in roll forming, helping the machine to reach its maximum potential. Not only does this reduce the need for manual intervention, it also helps companies save on labor costs. With the improvement of industrialization in countries around the world, the demand for rolling machinery will also increase. Therefore, the steel rolling industry will continue to maintain a good momentum in the next few years.
