Product Profile

Roll Design

Roll Form Technology have the latest CAD/CAM computer system together with a software programme especially written to design roll form tooling.

After the 'flower pattern' has been developed the CAD/CAM system designs the roll around the appropriate 'pass' and produces machining data for the CNC lathes.

See 'Derek Ratledge Design' at www.rolldesigner.com for further information on specialist design consultations.

 

Roll Manufacture

Roll Form Technolgy's use of the most up to date CNC techniques in the production of cold roll tooling, ensures a quality of finish and accuracy far superior to that obtainable from traditional methods of manufacture.

The need to produce costly templates is completely eliminated with manufacturing lead time greatly reduced.

Rolls manufactured in tool steel can, if required, be turned in the hardened condition (60/62 Rockwell scale C), to alleviate problems of distortion from hardening. This is extremely beneficial particularly for 'tight tolerance', painted or coated sections.

All rolls are inspected and polished after manufacture.

Flying Shears

 

The range of flying shears available is very comprehensive and depends on the particular application.

At Roll Form Technology we have designed our own range of hydraulic shears which are capable of single or double shear production.

A range of length measuring systems can be fitted from a simple 'end stop' through to open or closed loop systems with incremental encoders fitted via a measuring wheel.

The die or press accelerator can be either a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder or servo drive via rack and pinion to give precise accuracy on cut lengths.

Mechanical undercrank presses can be supplied for flying cut off's or standard presses can be incorporated with the cut off tools flying on rails.

Any combination of mechanical or hydraulic shear can be supplied with special presses designed to customers specification.

 

 

 

Pre-Pierce Press Tools, Jigs and Fixtures

Roll Form Technology manufacture their own pre-pierce hydraulic presses and the necessary press tools to suit. Having our own toolmakers ensures both press and tool is compatible and can be tried out before delivery.

Prototype samples can be produced before finalisation of section design and ancillary jigs, fixtures and inspection checking fixtures can also be designed and manufactured.

Bending fixtures for section is also an area in which we specialise.

Micro-processor control can be incorporated in pre-pierce units to cut down post mill handling and increase efficiency

 

 

 

Stretch Bending

 

After cut off, we also offer section manipulation tooling.

 

 

 

 

 

We also manufacture the end product such as rolled straight and cirlced sections.
