Static Roller Forming for Consistent Cylindrical Parts

What is Static Roller Forming?

Roller forming is a non-impact process using a spinning roller head, with two or more rollers, to apply a symmetrical downward force to form a part. Static roller forming is often used to form an aesthetically pleasing lip around a cylindrical part. The non-impact nature combined with precision and accuracy makes it possible to form delicate and brittle materials. Static roller heads provide consistency and efficiency to your forming process.

Flaring

Hardened rollers on a spinning roller head are advanced in a vertical direction to apply a symmetrical downward force to a cylindrical material to flare it outward.

Lip Forming / Crimping

To form or crimp a cylindrical material inward, hardened rollers on a spinning roller head can advance in a vertical direction to apply a symmetrical downward force.
