Application of Roll Forming Machine Technology

The current level of development of steel roll forming machine is concerned, in the country mainly to new products (including product upgrading) the development of design verification and simulation on a sample of the trial, from product concept to complete design (or redesign) - design - structural design - basic functional assessment - this trial simulation prototype development process. Structure based on certain products of plastic can also be small quantities trial, or some physical aspects of functional testing, assembly verification, look at the actual appearance, and even low-volume assembly of the product to market first, to achieve the purpose of testing the waters.

Application of roll forming equipment in the following areas:
(1) new product development process, design verification and functional verification. Roll Forming technology can quickly design of the CAD model into a physical mock-ups, so that designers can easily verify the design idea and product structure is reasonable, can be assembled, aesthetics, design issues can be found to be revised. If using traditional methods, need to complete the mapping, process design, tooling manufacturing, and other aspects of a long cycle, high cost. If you do not carry out design verification and direct production, then once a design error, it will cause great losses.

(2) manufacturability, testing and delivery for assembly inquiry, marketing, on the limited space of the complex system, such as automobiles, satellites, missile-manufacturing and assembly of the use of Roll Forming methods can be tested and design, greatly reduce the difficulty of the design and manufacture of such systems. Difficult to determine for complex parts can be used to roll forming machinery, trial production technology in order to determine the optimal and rational process. In addition, Roll Forming prototype or product from design to commercialization of every aspect of an effective means to communicate. Provide customers with products such as the sample, market promotion, etc., rapid prototyping and concurrent engineering has become a technical way of agile manufacturing.

(3) single pieces, small batch and special direct production of complex parts. color steel roof machine Components for the polymer materials, high-strength engineering plastics can be used directly to rapid prototyping, to meet the requirements; for complex metal parts, casting or by direct metal rapid prototyping available. The application of aviation, aerospace and defense industry has special significance.

(4) rapid tooling. Roll Forming technology through a variety of conversion into a variety of rapid tooling prototypes, such as low melting point alloy mold, silicone mold, cold spray metal mold, ceramic molds, for the production of small quantities of parts to meet the product replacement fast, increasing quantities small trends. The field of rapid prototyping applications, including the manufacture of almost all industries, in health care, human engineering, heritage and other industries have also been more widely used.

The main application of roll forming machine china application of various sectors is as follows:
◆ automobile, motorcycle: appearance and interior parts of the design, modification, assembly, testing, engine, cylinder head trial.
◆ appliances: the shape of various home appliances and structural design, assembly, test and functional verification, marketing, mold manufacturing.
◆ Communication Products: Product shape and structure design, assembly test, functional verification, mold manufacturing.
◆ aviation, space: the direct manufacture of special parts, impeller, turbine, blade trial, the engine's trial, the assembly test.
◆ Light: a variety of products design, validation, assembly, marketing, toys, footwear mold rapid manufacturing.
◆ Medical: medical equipment design, trial production, trial, CT scan of the kind of information, surgical simulation, human bone and joint preparation.
◆ Defense: parts of various weapons design, assembly, trial production, the direct production of special parts, remote sensing information model of production.

In short, the development of rapid prototyping technology to manufacture nearly 20 years, breakthroughs in the field, not only in manufacturing principles with the traditional method is very different, but more importantly in the current industrial policy response to market conditions as the first, Roll Forming technology can shorten product development cycles, reduce development costs and improve the competitiveness of enterprises. Following through a number of examples to illustrate the technology in the product development process role.  http://www.broswright.com/
