Home<\/a> \u00bb Roll Forming <\/p>\r\n Roll forming is superior to other metal forming processes and has advantages over aluminum extrusions, for many reasons.<\/p>\r\n Roll forming also makes it easier to produce longer lengths than are typically available on a\u00a0stamping press<\/a>. We can put holes in the part in-line, and we can provide you with the end cut you desire. The limiting factor on the length of a roll formed part is transportation, not the roll forming machine. We regularly roll parts that are 40-feet long.<\/p>\r\n Our engineers happily cater to all client needs, handling any job size with ease.<\/p>\r\n With roll forming services from Roller Die, your company can take advantage of an economical and efficient way of getting the metal components it needs. Our roll forming process features a team with decades of experience in the custom metal components business, allowing us to quickly produce strong metal components that are made to your exact specifications. We are also focused on technology and innovation and regularly invest in new equipment, software, and training to stay on top of changes in the industry.<\/p>\r\n The roll forming process works by passing sheet metal through a series of rollers, with each of these rollers adding shape to the metal. The rolls work together to form the desired cross-section. Since the process is consistent and easy to repeat, roll forming provides a great way to precisely produce very high volumes of metal components.<\/p>\r\n Our roll forming services, which include\u00a0aluminum roll forming<\/a>, can be used to create components for a wide variety of industries. In addition, we operate over 90 roll machines, with spindle sizes ranging from one inch to three inches. This means that we are able to quickly handle all your roll forming needs, whatever those needs might be. We can create both standard shapes and custom jobs, both of which are produced at the highest quality levels possible.<\/p>\r\n To get started with your custom roll forming project, contact us today for a\u00a0free quote<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n Request For Quote <\/a> What is Roll Forming?<\/p>\r\n The desired cross section is gradually formed as it passes through the rollers. The material starts as a flat coil or blank and each pair of rolls adds to the shape.<\/p>\r\n Roll forming is a continuous metal forming process taking sheet, strip, or coil stock and bending or forming it to a continuous cross section. The process is performed between successive pairs of rolls that change the shape until the desired section is completed.<\/p>\r\n The roll forming process can be used to form a wide variety of cross-section profiles. An open profile is most common, but a closed tube-like shape can be created as well. Because the final form is achieved through a series of bends, the part does not require a symmetric cross-section.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Roll Forming Techniques<\/p>\r\n 1) Pre-cut or cut-to-length roll forming<\/strong><\/p>\r\n 2) Post-cut roll forming<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Almost any material that can tolerate bending to a desired radius can be roll formed. The more ductile the material is, the better it will roll form. The roll forming process can handle ferrous, nonferrous, hot rolled, cold rolled, polished, plated, or pre-painted metals producing excellent results.<\/p>\r\n View All Metals and Materials <\/a><\/p>\r\n Almost any material that can tolerate bending to a desired radius can be roll formed.
