Roll Bending Sheet Metal Forming

Roll forming of sheet metal is a continuous manufacturing process that uses rolls to bend a sheet metal cross section of a certain geometry.

Roll bending sheet metal forming.

There are two types of classifications. The strip passes through sets of rolls mounted on consecutive stands each set performing only an incremental part of the bend until the desired cross section is obtained. Roll forming also spelled roll forming or rollforming is a type of rolling involving the continuous bending of a long strip of sheet metal into a desired cross section. Hot rolling and cold rolling.

Roll forming is ideal for producing constant profile parts with long lengths and in large quantities. Metal rolling is the process of taking sheets of metal and running them through a rolling machine to reduce thickness and guarantee that the sides are uniform all around. Similar to shape rolling but. The metal sheet is not cut and no material is removed.

When it comes to classifying metal rolling it is all based on the temperature of the metal rolled. Often several rolls may be employed in series to continuously bend stock. 1 horizontal 2 vertical. Roll bending or curving as defined here designates the manufacture of sheet metal parts that are rolled or curved into cylindrical shapes or shapes that have a smooth radius associated with them.

The process is performed on a roll forming line in which the sheet metal stock is fed through a series of roll stations. Roll bending is used if a metal sheet panel is to be given a larger smooth radius which we can only produce in our press brakes with step bending.
