We often talk about Roller Die’s focus on speed. This may mean turning around most quotes in 24 hours or less, getting good responses from sales and customer service, and quickly handling problems. Internally, however, our focus on speed goes deeper and has really helped many of our customers adapt and adjust to the changing marketplace. Thanks to the efforts of our plant managers, our focus on speed has led [...]
Steel isn’t the only material that can be easily roll formed. Aluminum is another excellent option for parts where weight and flexibility are key. Parts made from various different grades and finishes of aluminum are great for applications where structures move and flex and weigh much less than a comparable part made from steel. Transportation is one field where aluminum parts are used, including cars, trucks, airplanes, space applications, and [...]
Roller Die customers are encouraged to place orders for the coming months as soon as possible. Steel mills across the country are reporting outages for various reasons, driving up the costs of raw material and the time to receive that material. While most of the outages are due to scheduled equipment maintenance, unplanned outages are also occurring. Since steel is one of the more common metals used in roll forming, [...]
Roll forming is a process that involves passing coiled sheet metal through a horizontal series of rotating dies to produce the desired shape. This method offers a flexible and cost-efficient process of shaping metals into different shapes or custom cross-section profiles. Roll forming is superior to other metal forming processes, and it is used in a wide range of industrial processes, including steel fabrication, metal fabricators, and more. Below are [...]
Roll forming is highly efficient for projects that require medium to high volumes, tight tolerances, and an attractive finish. One of such projects is the manufacturing of solar panel frames. Solar panel framing usually requires specialized materials, exclusive designs, and critical hole placements for field assembly. Also, these panel frames may be required in large volumes. Thankfully, roll forming produces a higher volume of products at lower costs. Here are [...]
