Roll forming gets flexible
Roll forming technology has adapted to a manufacturing market that demands short runs and quick response.
Continuous improvement for roll forming - Part II
Continuous improvement and statistical process control are useful,time-tested techniques—they have been used since the 1950s—but their use must be tailored to specific applications. For example, atypical manufacturing metric is parts per minute, but many roll formers should measure feet per minute. This and other tips can help roll formers accurately evaluate their productivity and measure the impact of process improvements.
