Rollform, is the process of bending metal sheets in a continuous manner into specific profiles. This process plays an important role in the production of various metal profiles, which are often used in industrial applications. A Rollform machine allows sheets of metal to be passed over and shaped by a predetermined set of molds. This is used in the production of many different products used in various industries, such as roofing, wall panels, pipe profiles, etc. The roll forming process ensures high productivity and repeatability, which supports cost-effective production.
A Rollform production line refers to an industrial production process that transforms metal sheets into specific profiles. This production line usually includes the following basic components:
- Feeding System: A feeding system that ensures uniform feeding of metal sheets into the machine.
- Rollforming Machine: The main processing unit where the metal sheets are continuously bent and specific profiles are formed.
- Cutting System: A cutting mechanism that allows the formed profile to be cut to the desired length.
- Pulling and Straightening Systems: Pulling and straightening systems used to bring the profile to the desired dimensions and smoothness.
- Control and Automation Systems: An automation system that monitors and controls the production process.
Rollform machine production lines are generally used in the production of many different metal products such as industrial building elements, roofing materials, wall panels, pipe profiles. These lines are suitable for mass production as they provide high productivity and repeatability.
