An Application of the Roll-Forming Process on the Production of a Waterproof Metal Motor Housings

摘要

The paper discusses the results obtained by the application of the roll-forming technology on the production of high-precision metal motor housings. In particular, it is explained a process that allows the production of the motor housing by the rolling of a sheet metal strip. The critical application described in this paper refers to a car starter motor. Experimental results comparing the traditional progressive stamping process with the roll-forming process are provided in order to demonstrate the advantages of this technology.
