Roll Forming Machines Gives Breath To Exhausted Automobile Industry
In order to make a car, every car manufacturer first needs to build its structural body parts and auto rack parts like bumper, bumper beam, window slide, window frames, window sliding section, body floor, C-pillar, D-Pillar, D-Post and side impact beams. The automobile industry uses high-strength steel in making a car's structural parts. Steel prices are on the rise since last few years but the car companies still provide new cars at a reduced cost. Let’s evaluate how a car making company makes affordable cars out of high quality steel?
Today's automotive industry relies on roll forming machines. These machines produce high-strength steel body structural parts like crossmembers, sill outer, body stiffner, sun roof frames, loadroom cover, longitudinal stiffner and door stiffner with little or no extra cost. The roll forming machine bends flat coils of steel out of a sheet into high strength steel parts. Use of roll forming machines has several advantages over the traditional metal stamping.
l A roll forming machine produces almost no scrap and thus helps the auto parts manufacturer to make maximum use of the costly steel.
l It also reduces the number of defective parts considerably and in this way increases the volume.
l The advance roll forming process is labor friendly and one can produce as many parts as he wants without putting in much effort.
l The roll former machine is capable of delivering repeatable part tolerance.
Finite Element Analysis software is yet another technique used to add quality to roll forming products.
