Why hydraulic press technology makes sense in roll forming applications ahlstrom Roll Form believes it gets an edge in performance with this metal forming technology

摘要

Not too many manufacturing companies can claim to be more than 100 years old and say that their histories are still being written. Dahlstrom Roll Form is one such fabricator. The company started in 1904 as a steel door manufacturer. In fact, it had the first U.S. patent for a fire-rated steel door. It established a roll forming division to handle the creation of steel moldings that would act as trim forthose doors. (Forthose unfamiliar with roll forming, it is a cold-forming process that gradually bends flat metal into a finished, uniform profile by passing it through a series of mated tool dies. It is an economical process for producing metal channels, angles, and complex shapes with multiple bends. It also allows for the addition of holes, notches, slots, and embossments during inline processing.)
