Advantages of Roll Forming
Samson Roll Formed Products Company provides our customers with distinct advantages of rollforming.
Assembly
Two distinct parts can be run together to form one assembly.
Clad Shapes
Two different materials can be formed simultaneously to produce a clad shape in one operation.
Energy Efficiency
Roll forming is an energy efficient process usually requiring no process heat to be added.
Finish Roll
Forming can produce superior surface finishes. Sharp, clean contours can be maintained. The absence of die marks on the material often eliminates the need for additional finishing.
Hole and Slot Patterns
Pre-punching in-line allows holes or slots that cannot be done as a secondary operation because of their location or features of the part to be included in the shape.
Hollow Shapes
Hollow or semi-hollow shapes can be produced with thinner walls than are possible by competing processes.
Lengths
Almost unlimited lengths can be roll formed. The only limitations are due to material handling equipment, space constraints, and shipping capabilities.
Material
Almost any bendable material can be roll formed.
Production
The high speed, continuous nature of roll forming lends itself to economic production of large volumes of parts.
Secondary Operations
Many additional operations, such as punching, notching, welding and bending, that otherwise would have to be performed as secondary operations can be incorporated into the roll forming process, thus, reducing handling and processing costs. Even labels giving installation instructions can be applied to the shape as an in-line process.
Structural Applications
Roll formed materials generally have a strength advantage over competing processes in structural rigidity applications.
Tolerances
Roll forming can achieve closer tolerances than are possible with most competing processes.
Tooling
The same tooling can be used to roll a shape out of different materials.
Uniformity Roll
forming produces symmetrical parts with uniform dimensions that assure precisions fits, simplify production, and that speed assembly and minimize rejects.
