One add-on process offered by Roller Die is the ability to powder coat metals after the part has been roll formed. The benefits of powder coating include providing a finish designed to resist corrosion that, unlike traditional liquid finishes, uses a less hazardous material. Powder coating also allows the application of a thicker coating to the metal and a smoother, more consistent appearance.
Initially, the coating has a texture similar to […]
While the material handling industry has always been a big client for roll formed parts, new advances in warehousing technology, using additional roll formed parts, are opening up additional efficiencies in storage systems. One particularly fascinating improvement, commonly used in Europe and increasing in application in America, are automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS).
These systems allow storage racks to be both tall and deep, holding dozens of similar pallets on […]

For example, if your part contains holes, perforations, notches, embossing, or tabs, we can almost always incorporate these features inline as part of our process. Adding these features within the roll forming process eliminates the need to move parts into […]

There are many factors you should consider when looking for a company to help you create your parts, but a big one is how long they’ve been a stable force in the industry. Roll forming is an investment. While it leads to a good price per piece overall, there is an upfront investment in tooling, design, and preparation that goes into each metal roll formed item.
With over 60 years in […]
The industrial designer has many tools available to create the technology we use every day from raw materials. Steel and aluminum can be bent and formed many ways and the challenge is to find the process that creates the most consistent parts in the most cost effective fashion.
Recently, some customers have approached Roller Die + Forming to discuss whether custom roll formed shapes could replace parts they are currently making […]
