What is Roll Forming?
The process of forming metal sheets such as steel, galvanized, aluminum, iron, etc. is called roll forming. This operation is done using molds and forming rollers and special tools on shafts that are fixed with gates or bearings.
Roll Forming Methods
Different methods of roll forming are:
Cold forming roll (bottom hot sheet)
Rolls of warm forming (sheet with warm and high thickness)
Roll forming is better and more professional than the traditional bending methods that are done using a bender, press brake, rolling, etc. It has a high speed and does not require a direct operator. It requires lower costs and uses machine power instead of human power, and also produces high quality products. The types of forming templates are:
Roof sheet
Pottery or Wallermo type
Pottery or French brigade
Trapezoid or steel deck sheet
Wall or shanty type
Wall or Dampa and Nama type
What is a Forming Machine?
The roll forming machine is designed to form metal sheets. The forming machine has stations where steel rollers are placed and the sheet is formed by passing through these stations. The presence of rollers in this machine also causes the sheets to move, increases the speed of forming the sheet and turning it into a profile, and prevents applying too much stress in one area. In this case, the sheet is formed with quality. Another operation on the sheets that is performed in this machine is punching, which creates the required holes or protrusions. The types of forming devices are:
Heavy forming machine
Light forming machine
You need a roll forming machine to do the projects that require the following projects:
You have high circulation and high volume production.
You have long and narrow profiles in the project.
You have U-shaped sections in the project.
You produce complex and special sections.
You have uniform punches in the profile.
The benefits of using rolling forming
Hydro forming sheet
Hydroforming is a process in which forming is done with the help of a mold that has high pressure hydraulic fluid. This process is achieved with the help of hydroforming mold, hydraulic press and reinforcement system inside the machine. Soft and flexible metals such as aluminum, brass, stainless steel, low carbon steel, etc. can be shaped using hydroforming. Hydroforming is widely used in the automotive industry, and this technology is also used in tube forming. Hydroforming is also known as convex forming, hydromac and explosive forming. Parts formed by hydroforming have more quality, weight and strength.
