Automated Roll Forming is the Backbone of Automobile Industry
Automated roll forming machines have proved their worth and displayed that only they can fulfill the demands of today's fast moving automobile industry. These machines are producing high strength steel parts at no extra cost, which is the demand of the day. It is a great help otherwise our cars are bound to become costlier as the steel prices are skyrocketing. An automated roll forming machine has several advantages over traditional metal stamping and this is why manufacturers are switching to roll forming. Traditionally, manufacturers used to stamp a metal plate or a steel sheet to produce required auto parts. On the other hand roll formers bend or form flat coils of metals out of a metal plate or steel sheet into high strength steel products.
Advantages of an Automated Roll Former:
- The roll forming machines produce little or no scrap thus enabling the manufacturer to make maximum use of costly steel.
- The automated roll forming process is not labor intensive and you can make as many parts as you want without putting in much effort.
- Roll forming reduces the number of defective parts considerably and in this way increases the volume.
- A roll forming machine delivers repeatable part tolerance.
Today's latest automated roll forming machines use flying technology for cutting profiles 'on-the-fly'. This technology enables them to produce virtually interrupted assemblies with quality repeatable designs. Some of the manufactures are using Finite Element Analysis software for their tooling design. With advance tooling design, they can produce high quality repeatable parts in large volumes.
