2. Roll Forming Station This is the core of the machine, where the metal sheets are formed into the desired profile shape using a series of rollers. Each roller is precisely aligned to gradually shape the material, ensuring uniformity and strength.
Modern roll forming operations utilize advanced technology, including computerized control systems and automated machinery, to enhance efficiency and precision. The design of the rollers and the sequence of forming steps are carefully engineered to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, many roll forming machines offer the ability to perform secondary operations, such as punching and welding, further streamlining the manufacturing process.
The extrusion process can be divided into two main types continuous and batch extrusion. Continuous extrusion, the most common form, produces long sections of material that can be cut to length after exiting the die. Batch extrusion, in contrast, processes materials in specific quantities and is often used for producing more complex shapes.
