What is a roll forming machine? What does it do?

A roll forming machine is essentially a continuous bending operation in which a long strip of metal, usually steel in coils, is passed through successive sets of rollers. Each set of rollers performs a tiny, progressive forming operation until the desired cross-sectional profile is achieved. Unlike thermoforming, this process takes place at room temperature, preserving the strength of the material and producing a superior surface finish.

What is the role of a cold forming machine?

The main function of a roll forming production line is to produce uniform, high-precision metal profiles in long dimensions. But let's break down its main functions:

Continuously forming metal: It continuously forms flat metal into a specific cross-section. This means you can produce very long parts without interruption.

Customize complex profiles: From simple angles and channels to highly complex custom designs with multiple bends and features, cold roll forming machine can create a wide variety of custom profiles.

Maintain Material Properties: Typically performed at room temperature, the process does not significantly alter the inherent strength or surface finish of the metal and, in some cases, can even increase the yield strength of the material.

Where are roll forming machines used?

You'll be surprised to learn that many everyday items and large structures rely on cold-formed parts. They are vital in the following industries:

Construction: such as roof and wall panels, columns, rails, purlins and window frames.

Automotive: Things like bumper beams, seat tracks and structural components often come from cold-formed molding machines.

Shelving and warehousing: The strong, precise columns and beams of industrial and retail shelving systems are often cold formed.

Solar: Frames and mounting structures for solar panels are often manufactured in this way.
