3. Reduced Material Waste Straightening wire prior to further processing means fewer defects down the line, contributing to lower scrap rates and reduced material costs. A smooth, straight wire is less likely to cause problems during welding or bending, ensuring a higher yield of usable components.
Rollforming is a continuous bending operation in which a long strip of metal, often coiled steel, is passed through a sequence of dies. Each die progressively shapes the steel into the desired configuration. The process is gentle compared to other methods, such as stamping or cutting, which means that the integrity of the steel is preserved. This aspect is crucial, as it ensures high product quality and reduces waste.
- Automotive In the automotive industry, precision-cut and bent components are required for various body parts and frames.
