rolled sheet metal

You know when you just glance at a piece of metal roofing, or that big wall made out of it? I have, but that most likely was made out of rolled sheet metal! Roll Forming is a unique technique of changing flat metal sheets into various desired shapes, specifically curves or angles. This is a very useful process for creating and constructing most sort of stuffs which we use on our daily basis. -

Sheet metal is rolled into curves using a machine tool known as a rollformer. Rollformers use rollers to bend and shape the metal as it passes through each roller system. These rollers are retractable or replaceable in different configurations, which creates oblique and curve formations. So the same machine can produce a variety of shapes! The types of materials that are used and a lot of skill and experience is required for the metal to come out perfect.

The Key to Perfectly Rolled Sheet Metal

But how is rollforming possible? To start, a flat sheet of metal is threaded through the rollformer. Once the metal sheet is placed inside, these rollers activate to start bending that piece of metal into whatever shape we ordered. Other times a tool called cut-off is used and then once the piece has taken form it is cut per specific given lengths.

Rolled sheet metal has a variety of uses and benefits that it provides to the people who use it. One major reason is because it's tensile and durable. As such, it is capable of withstanding severe weather conditions including heavy rainfall and extreme snow. Also, it is lightweight as well so that makes easier to transport and install (doing a bit of time-saving atop).
