Roll Forming Tooling

At Roll-Kraft, our legacy has long been established as the industry leader in providing precision roll tooling to tube and pipe producers around the world.

Backed by our vast experience in Roll Forming Machine Engineering, Roll Forming Machine Manufacturing, and technical support, Roll-Kraft combines innovative solutions and high-quality workmanship with its world-class facilities and dedicated staff – resulting in maximum performance, reliability, and value for our customers.

Quality begins with engineering. Our Tooling designers utilize custom-designed software that develops the forming progression and tooling drawings. We have perfected many designs and offer numerous options and roll configurations to best suit your application.

We utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software for specialty or uncommon applications. This software simulates the tooling design before manufacturing begins. We can better predict specific problems associated with mill configuration, material properties, and reshaping, as never before.

Together with state-of-the-art Roll Forming Machine manufacturing facilities, quality materials, and a quality management system (ISO 9001:2000 certified), we guarantee your tooling will be designed and built to maximize performance.

Special Materials:

Soft Urethane – This material is used when grip is needed and the product surface cannot be crushed back flat. Perforated or louvered tubing are examples of uses for this material.

Nylon – Nylon is used when the surface condition of the final product is crucial and no other material will suffice. Dead soft aluminum and some stainless steel tube can be made completely mark free with a nylon application.

AMPCO - AMPCO is used in areas where the absence of marking is critical and more tooling wear is required. It is commonly used in stainless steel applications, as well as for weld rolls, due to its non-magnetic properties. It is available in different grades and levels of hardness.

AMPCO Bronze Weld Rolls

CPM 10V and A11 – These materials can be used in many applications, and they have a longer life than D2 steel. They have worked very well in bead rolling and hammering operations in stainless steel tube and pipe. This material can last two to three times longer than D2 in certain areas when forming carbon steels.
