Roll Forming Alignment

DON’T LET YOUR MILL GET OUT OF SIGHT

Roll tooling is generally manufactured to a tolerance of .001” or better. This accuracy is held because of the importance between the mating upper and lower rolls and the cross-section being formed. There is little room for error, when roll forming a welded tube or non-welded profile; particularly when running light-gauge metal. A stack-up or alignment error of <5% can cause a number of defects to the finished product. What is worse is that many of these defects are difficult to trace to the source, because there may only be slight alignment issues in multiple locations.

Proper mill shoulder alignment is absolutely critical in producing quality profiles, with consistency and repeatability. Roll-Kraft understands this and makes this a main talking point in all of our training seminars and customer visits.

Roll-Kraft has developed and perfected a Roll Forming Mill alignment program and has conducted hundreds of on-site mill alignments with excellent results. Our process is done in a step-by-step fashion that will uncover other potential problems, such as bent shafts, spindle run-out, damaged bearing blocks, bearings, or mill stands, etc.

In addition to mill alignment, our service can also include other components of the line, such as punch presses, uncoilers, weld boxes, and cut-off presses.
