Roll form has been developed for the production of fixed cross-section and thickness tubes, pipes and profiles in high volume. This method is used in combination with other processes and finds a wide range of uses, from white goods bodies to steel doors and safes. From special stainless steel furniture profiles to furniture rails and runners and from storage shelves and legs to roof (cladding) panels. In augmentation, it is possible to use it in the production of not only fixed cross section but also variable cross section open profiles with computer-controlled roller axis control in its applications that are expected to become widespread in the future.
The most important advantages that make the roll form process attractive are high production volume, low labor use, usability with many processes, high surface quality and low dimensional tolerances, the ability to successfully form very hard or low ductility metals in an incremental process, painted, metal, polymer etc. The processing of coated sheet metal sheets can be listed.
