Roll forming is the process of bending metal sheets to form the desired cross-sectional profiles. It is a continuous operation that involves a series of stands where each stand is a set of rolls. Each of the stands puts a little amount of pressure on the formable sheet until the last one produces the desired profile. One roll forming machine (also called as roll former) can produce a specific cross-section. A roll forming mill that produces different cross-sectional profiles out of the sheets has different sets of roll tools. Roll forming is gentle on the material, so the tools undergo the minimum of stress and there is no big wear on them during the roll forming process.

If you live in South Africa and are looking for the finest rollformers in South Africa, Springs Industrial Machinery (SIM) Manufacturing Co. Pty. Ltd. is the right company for you to choose. They offer a range of rollformers in South Africa and almost all kinds of advanced sheet metal machinery. You can also get a range of high-performance guillotines for sale only at SIM.

Roll forming useful especially in the production of large volumes of long-length parts that are further used to make automobiles and other construction materials. Roll forming is an exact operation that requires a huge amount of machinery costs. Therefore, computer simulation is done to show the accurate values and validate the design of roll stands. This, in turn, reduces the number of rolls needed for the entire roll forming procedure.

Sheet metals are being used in almost all tool manufacturing industries in the form of raw materials to produce finished products. But, these metal sheets are first produced from various metals, and the process of manufacturing sheet metals is known as sheet metal machinery. Sheet metal machinery involves several types of machines out of which we are going to cover three major types.

Deburring Machines

These machines are used to remove the sharp edges and/or burrs from the surface of metal sheets. Certain projects that need beautiful finish and perfect edge rounding on the metal sheets make use of deburring machines. Common metals that use deburring machines are aluminum, copper and steel (both mild and stainless).

Power Press Machines

Power press machines are used to press, cut and bend a workpiece in order to achieve the desired shape. Based on the type of the end product, different power presses are applied. These machine tools are made of high-quality cast iron and steel. The power press machines can be categorized as C-type, pillar type and hydraulic power pressure machines.

The hydraulic power pressure machines use hydraulic pressure for functioning. All modern-day power press machines use advanced mechanical and electrical parts.

Hand-operated Machines

The pressure of hand-operated machines can be controlled by the user. A good example of hand-operated machines is manual goldsmith press where the user can apply as much pressure as needed for the project. Manual sheet metal machinery are generally used automobile and engineering workshops.
