Rollerforming, like Orbitforming, is a quiet, non-impact, fastening operation. Multiple rollers gently fold material into a solid form. Rollerforming can crimp and seal uniquely shaped parts using horizontal, vertical and articulating rollers.
Rollerforming allows forming of large or small diameters and thin wall materials, and is advantageous when used to roll or close a lip. The process improves part appearance while utilizing your existing orbital forming equipment.

Rollerforming can:
- Crimp and seal using multiple rollers
- Cold form with precise control
- Satisfy cosmetic requirements on assembled parts
- Form both inside and outside diameters simultaneously
- Be used in work cells and automated assembly.

Articulating Rollers
Orbitform Group's line of Rollerform articulating rollerheads combine the rotating forming action of a fixed center rollerhead with a three jaw gripping motion. This specialized type of forming is unique in industry.
Fixed Center Rollers
Orbitform Group's line of Fixed Center Rollerheads intersect the workpiece on an exact contact line, gradually forming material to the desired shape as the powerhead advances.
