Roll forming, is a process of continuous bending in which a long strip of metal like
coiled steel is put through consecutive sets of rolls, or stands, each of them are bending
a part of the metal, until the required cross-section shape is obtained.
Roll forming is
good for producing parts which are long in lengths or needed in large
quantities.
The process of roll forming is one of the most simplest
manufacturing processes for the roll forming manufacturers.
It
generally begins with a large spool of metal strips, which are generally
between 1 inch to 20 inch in width, and about 0.

125 inch in
thickness.

the machine which has stock feeder in the beginning and is connected
to a cut off attachment.
After the sheet is passed through the cut off
attachment, it is then fed into the forming rolls.
