Roll forming is a continuous bending operation in which a long strip of sheet metal—typically coiled steel—is passed through sets of rolls mounted on consecutive stands. Each set performs only an incremental part of the bend until the desired cross-section profile is obtained. Roll forming machines are the backbone of several industries, from construction to automotive, due to their ability to produce complex profiles with high accuracy at high volumes.
To ensure the precision and adaptability of these machines, gearmotors and screw jacks play a crucial role in both motion control and mechanical adjustment. Here’s how these two components enhance the performance and efficiency of roll forming lines.
While gearmotors power the rolls, screw jacks are typically used for adjustments and positioning tasks in roll forming machines. These electromechanical actuators convert rotary motion into linear movement.
