What Is Roll Forming?
Roll forming is a manufacturing process for producing long products by continuously compressing and bending metal sheets with multiple rollers.
The operating principle involves multiple rollers shaped differently, and a metal sheet fed forward by a feeding device. The sheet undergoes gradual compression and bending at each roller, resulting in the continuous production of products.
Roll forming finds applications in various fields such as construction materials, automotive parts, household appliances, and industrial machinery. It comprises rollers, a feeding device, a frame, a power source, and control devices. Its characteristics include high productivity, shape accuracy, material efficiency, low cost, and design flexibility. When using roll forming, factors such as material selection, sheet thickness, accuracy, cost, and safety need to be considered.
