Roll forming is also a great solution when manufacturing high volumes of consistent cross sections.
Roll forming takes a continuous, flat sheets, strips or coils of metal and forms them into complex one-piece shapes in a single operation. This allows for a smooth flow of material while providing significant dimensional control of the finished product.
The expanding process is of great importance when the inside diameter of the component is a major consideration. Shapes that naturally lend themselves to this forming process include round, square or multi-sided fabrications.
The benefits offered
At Skilcraft, we have found that roll forming and expanding offer a number of advantages for the production of complex fabrications including energy savings, improved quality and precision, and potential cost savings by reducing the amount of machining required to produce components. What’s more, a wide array of materials can be processed in this way, from aluminum to stainless steel or practically any other metal that can withstand the forming process.
