profilformer
Profilformer is a generic term in manufacturing that refers to equipment designed to convert flat stock into a long, continuous profile with a predefined cross-section. The class includes several subtypes, notably roll-forming lines, die forming stations, and profile-bending machines, all designed to produce uniform profiles with minimal segment variation.
Operation and design: Stock is fed through successive forming stations where rollers or dies progressively shape
Materials and profiles: The equipment is used with metals such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, as
Applications: Profilformers are common in the construction industry for lightweight metal framing, in automotive for body
