Roll Forming

Roll Forming is a continuous process in which a strip of metal, usually in coil form, is passed through a series of roller dies and progressively shaped to the desired contour. It eliminates multiple stage production, finishing or sub-assembly operations. Secondary operations such as: notching, punching, tabbing, perforating, edge rolling, bending, deburring, embossing, and mechanical finishing can be combined continuously with the roll forming operation to speed production and reduce assembly costs.

By its very nature, roll forming is a process which permits consistent adherence to close tolerances, working in both heavy and lightweight materials. Roll formed shapes can be economically produced from an almost limitless variety of stock that has been preprocessed: painted, vinyl coated, oiled, anodized, embossed, or mechanically surface treated. Practically all metals can be successfully roll formed.

Custom Roll Forming

Roll forming plus design and engineering services. When you consult a Custom Roll Former early in the planning stages he can assist in designing and redesigning parts in a way that will trim costs and simplify production and assembly. For example, during the early planning stages it may be possible to combine several assemblies into a one-unit piece.

The Custom Roll Former can deliver finished shapes, cut to exact length, ready for assembly.
