We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Roll Forming",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Universal joints are corrosion resistant in vacuum from
Belden, which we summarised at the time by saying "Corrosion resistant universal joints and complete shaft assemblies are being manufactured from a variety of stainless steel grades, for ultra high vacuum applications".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Roll-forming trapezoidal sheet metal profiles from
UBECO: "After designing the final trapezoidal profile with the roll form design software, it produces the flower pattern for a trapezoidal profile automatically".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Airam Press Co.
- take a look at Press manufacture expanded, more flexible
which says: "The Covington facility of Airam has been expanded so that the press maker can reduce delivery times and become more flexible".
Take a look also at the news release from Keronite, Mould surfaces made more durable,
as well as Aluminium tools reduce volume moulding costs from Keronite,
and After sales service influenced wire EDM choice from 600 Centre.
