Advantage of automotive parts roll forming

Automotive parts manufacturing has seen many advancements over the years. An area where there is still growth is within the rollforming process.  Unlike other machines continuous forming of parts and components is a highly efficient and cost effective method of manufacturing.

Parts roll forming for the automotive suppliers

Manufacturing sheet metal parts such as rocker panels or frame rails requires continuous high precision processes.  This is where automotive roll forming machines have a significant advantage.   High quality engineered forming lines are designed to produce at high volumes.  This type of equipment is essential in the recovery of the auto sector.  Building the next generation car requires all components to be designed and built without compromise.

Common metal components made with roll formers


  • Bumpers (straight or swept)
  • Window trim
  • Window glides and components
  • Frame rails
  • Floor pans
  • Rocker panels
  • and other chassis parts.

The manufacturing sector especially the auto sector has taken a hit over the past few years.  Now metal forming technologies are here to help rebuild this industry bring greater flexibility and efficiency.
