••••••>Why roll forming?

[internationalrollforms]

Roll forming, is a process of continuous bending in which a long strip
of metal like coiled steel is put through consecutive sets of rolls,
or stands, each of them are bending a part of the metal, until the
required cross-section shape is obtained. Roll forming is good for
producing parts which are long in lengths or needed in large
quantities. The process of roll forming is one of the most simplest
manufacturing processes for the roll forming manufacturers. It
generally begins with a large spool of metal strips, which are
generally between 1 inch to 20 inch in width, and about 0.0004 to
0.125 inch in thickness. These sheets are held together by a device
known as 'dispenser'.
