What is Articulating Roller Forming?

Articulating roller forming is used when forming a groove in a part or when there are obstructions to clear in order to form a lip. The articulating roller heads come in from the side to create the formed area. The 360-degree contact means consistent action for the entire time the part is being formed. These roller heads can deliver forming forces up to 5,000 lbs at 100 psi.

Lip Forming / Crimping

To form a lip or crimp a material, hardened rollers on a spinning roller head can advance vertically and then horizontally to apply an inward force around a cylindrical material.

Groove Forming

Groove forming requires the hardened rollers on a spinning roller head to advance vertically and then horizontally to apply an inward force around a cylindrical material to form the groove in the material.

Undercut Forming

For undercut forming, hardened rollers on a spinning roller head are advanced vertically and then horizontally to apply an inward force to form a groove in the material under a shelf type feature.
