The more complex the requirements for the profile cross-section, the more we are in our element. That underscores the fact that most of our profiling systems have been perfected through in-house development, and that the processes themselves are also constantly being optimized. The result is cross-sections that are variable in all dimensions.
In traditional roll forming, the properties of the profiles are primarily achieved by selecting the material with the necessary sheet thickness and through the design of the shape. We have added a decisive parameter to these possibilities: variable material thickness. We enable a load-optimized design of the profile through calculated reduction of the strip thickness or clinching the split strip, preferably near or on the edges of the strip.
That means: while we used to have to base the material thickness of the overall profile on the maximum thickness required, we are now able to achieve a load-optimized design. We thin the material in those areas where it is not needed as a way to reduce the overall weight.
Flexibility with regard to cross-section, load adaptation or joining possibilities is increasingly being requested.
With linear flow splitting, linear bend splitting and the production of profiles with varying cross-sections, we offer even more room for ideas and solutions to problems.
