Roll-forming machines gradually bend sheet metal into one continuous profile as it is passed through a series of roll dies. Choosing roll forming means businesses can achieve high volumes, long lengths, and accurate hole placements in their products.
Roll forming is the most economical and efficient way to mass produce the following metal parts:
-Channels - including U, C, J, hat, and box
-Parts that demand complex shapes
-Large metal parts of over 20 feet
-Parts that require intricate hole patterns
-Angles
In-line punching features mean that holes, slots, notches, and embossing can all be completed at the plant by designing and programming these elements into custom tools. This can massively improve efficiency by eliminating the need for secondary operations, which can be both time-consuming and expensive.
Roll forming machines can also include hole punching, bending, and cutting to length, which can all be achieved during the process and continuously, eliminating steps in the production line and saving time and money.
The advantages of utilizing a roll-forming machine in your business are vast. Some of the most important benefits to consider are the range of in-line features, the ability to create complex profiles, the ability to handle large material sizes, minimal roll maintenance, tight tolerances which are easily replicated, and flexibility in order volumes. Roll-forming machines also leave less room for human error as all processes are automated, and there is less scrap and wasted metal due to more precise measurements.
Of course, every savvy businessperson has to consider the cost-effectiveness of any new equipment they purchase. A roll-forming machine is undoubtedly a significant investment, and it is essential to consider the operation and materials costs before buying. The complexity of shape, the additional tooling, the labor, and the raw materials costs must all be factored into your budget. However, the productivity and efficiencies you save by investing in a roll-forming machine are usually well worth it.
