Roll
forming is the process of bending metal sheets to form the desired
cross-sectional profiles. It is a continuous operation that involves a series
of stands where each stand is a set of rolls. Each of the stands puts a little
amount of pressure on the formable sheet until the last one produces the
desired profile. One roll forming machine (also called as roll former) can
produce a specific cross-section. A roll forming mill that produces different
cross-sectional profiles out of the sheets has different sets of roll tools.
Roll forming is gentle on the material, so the tools undergo the minimum of
stress and there is no big wear on them during the roll forming process.
