Roll forming companies have known for many years the many benefits of using the process of roll forming to create complicated and complex metal shapes. Roll forming is often used to manufacture large metal pieces, and it has many benefits over other forms of metal shaping such as pressbreaking. If you are interested in using roll formed metals, consider some of the following advantages:
Lower costs: Roll forming requires less material handling and labor. This creates a continuous production and lowers the cost-per-piece of each metal piece.
Increased consistency: For large orders, roll forming creates pieces that are identical every time. You will find more accuracy, uniformity, and consistency in individual pieces as well as the entire production lot.
Fewer secondary operations: With roll forming, you can add additional extras, often saved for secondary processing, at the same time. During roll forming you can cut, notch, perforate, punch, and otherwise change the metal during the initial production. This also increases the structural integrity of the piece and better parts joining.
Rapid delivery and turnaround times: Because roll forming is done mostly with one simple process, parts can get to your sooner. Basically, roll forming is a one-stop shop that allows your metal parts to get to you sooner with greater accuracy and cost savings.
For these reasons and more, if a company has the option of choosing to use roll formed metal, you will not be sorry. Roll formed metal is highly effective and beneficial in a multitude of ways.
