Roll Forming Solutions - Functional, Lightweight, and Freedom in Design
Roll Forming technology, tool design and simulations have advanced to allow for innovative products in complex profile configurations. The optimization of both strip thickness and width, integrated into the cold roll forming process, allows different designs and an incorporation of functions that were once thought to only be available in other processes such as hot forming, stamping and or extrusions. These products, optimized in the strip thickness with thinning, thickening, and grooving, which are fully integrated into the production process can reduce overall costs as well as create significant market differentiation. A faster, state of the art, manufacturing process eliminates waste and reduces overall lead times to market. Steel systems allow for stronger, longer-lasting, more cost-effective products.

Welding Roll Formed Profiles - Select the Right Welding Method
When defining the process to roll form a welded profile, there are several factors that influence the configuration of the manufacturing system. These factors include profile complexity, material, production volume, engineered hole features and part variations. The appropriate welding method will be greatly influenced by these variables. This presentation will review how these variables influence the selection of two primary welding methods used in the roll forming process: laser and high frequency induction.
