Industrial Roll Forming 101

Industrial roll forming shapes continuous strips into precise profiles by feeding material through a sequence of rollers, so parts run fast with consistent geometry and low scrap. Our metal roll forming method excels with long lengths, repeatable features, and programs that demand volume.

How the Process Works: From Strip to Profile

We prep materials, set guides, and load the strip. Stations form flanges, hems, beads, and radii in a controlled sequence. We manage cutoff strategies to keep edges clean and dimensions true. Inline checks confirm straightness and hole-to-edge alignment, then we cut to length and stage parts for downstream ops, like welding or assembly, on the same plan. That’s how our roll forming services keep throughput high and quality steady.

Why Roll Forming

You lower part cost at volume, reduce material waste, and lock in repeatable profiles. Our process holds tight dimensions across long runs, supports complex shapes, and delivers finish quality that cuts rework. For channels, tracks, frames, covers, and long panels, our industrial roll forming solutions give OEM teams speed and consistency without hard tradeoffs.

Facilities and Capacity

As a trusted roll forming manufacturer, we offer metal roll forming services at both our facilities:

  • Tomah: 8-foot roll line that handles mild steel up to 5/8 inch thick.
  • South Bend: Capability up to 5/12 inch and 16 gauge.

Materials, Profiles, and Applications

We run carbon and high-strength steels, stainless, and aluminum. Profiles include channels, angles, hat sections, custom shapes, and long panels for truck and equipment builds. For programs that need complex shapes at scale, our metal roll forming teams deliver stable output ready for welding, machining, and assembly.

Integrated Manufacturing: One Plan from Strip to Assembly

GSM forms rolls next to our full line of metal manufacturing capabilities. We schedule one flow, keep status visible, and move roll-formed parts directly into downstream work without extra handoffs. This tight linkage turns our roll forming services into predictable output for OEM programs.

Big-Envelope Projects at Production Pace

We produce long panels, heavy sections, and complex profiles for trucks, equipment, and structural applications. Material handling, fixtures, and cutoff keep large parts straight, square, and on spec. We build our lines to absorb demand swings and protect lead times.

Cost, Speed, and Quality Advantages

Our runs minimize scrap and spread setup across high volumes. Our process holds dimensions and keeps surfaces clean, which reduces rework downstream. Our industrial roll forming solutions deliver part cost savings while maintaining repeatable geometry.

End-to-End Engineering Support

Our team reviews profiles, radii, hole patterns, and notch rules before we cut steel. We plan cutoff strategies to meet print and simplify welding or assembly. If your project needs custom roll forming, we tune the line for your alloy, thickness, and feature mix.

Quality You Can Measure

Inline checks track straightness, twist, and key dimensions while fixture audits confirm critical features. We tie parts to coil heat numbers and maintain traceable lots across the run. As your roll forming company of choice, we publish inspection results with your shipment so you see proof of performance.

Heavy Gauge Rolling

FAQs

What is the maximum thickness, width, and length your roll forming equipment can handle?

Our Tomah line handles mild steel up to 5/8 inch thick. Our South Bend line supports up to 5/12 inch and 16-gauge capability. Width and profile size depend on the roll set and geometry, and our roll forming supports long-length parts with cutoff to your spec. Send us your print, and we’ll quickly confirm the strip width and length window.

Yes. We build custom roll forming programs with roll design matched to your print, and we protect your proprietary profiles.
We tie into machining, welding, and assembly on the same production plan, plus labeling and packaging to shipment specs if required.
