2. Technology and Automation Levels The level of automation integrated into the machine also plays a crucial role in determining the price. Advanced machines with automated features such as computerized controls, auto-feeders, and real-time monitoring tend to be more expensive. While the upfront cost might be higher, such features can lead to increased productivity and reduced labor costs over time.
Die design is a critical factor in the efficiency and quality of the roll forming process. A well-designed die will minimize the wear and tear on both the die itself and the roll forming equipment. It will also ensure that the metal is evenly distributed throughout the profile, reducing the likelihood of defects such as warping or weak spots.
