Tooling Design/Software
Contact a sales rep regarding this product
Roll-Kraft’s tooling engineering department designs both Tube & Pipe Roll Tooling and Form Roll Tooling. Specialists in all areas of cold formed open profiles and welded tube and pipe tooling applications, the engineering department provides a broad range of designs for welded round, square, oval, elliptical and trapezoidal profiles as well as complex, non-welded profiles.
The design and production teams work closely in all areas of inspection, reverse engineering, new or rework tooling manufacturing and testing, using strict quality and process control procedures.
Tube / Pipe Tooling Design Software
Roll-Kraft developed their original proprietary tooling design software in 1985. It was programmed to combine proven design practices and experiences gained since the company was founded in 1963.
The company continues to maintain and improve its’ design software. Today’s version has been updated to more efficiently assist the designers during the flower (or forming progression), roll layout, drawing creation, material cut list, CNC program codes and routing phases of the design process.
Roll Form (open profile) Design Software
Roll-Kraft uses multiple seats of a design software called Copra (by data-M Software GmbH) to assist the designer in the flower development and the roll tooling design process. All tooling is manufactured using CAD geometry provided by the software to insure accuracy and maximize quality.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Method
In 2003, Roll-Kraft purchased the Copra FEA RF (data M Software GmbH) software. Specifically created for the tube, pipe and roll forming industries, this computer software simulates the roll tooling design to predict the final result of the strip. Using this technology allows the designer to investigate multiple designs, materials and make any necessary revisions before the roll tooling is manufactured. When used in an R&D or prototype platform, the software provides a scientific approach to roll design.
