FAQs
When is the right time to upgrade a roll former or folder?
Consider upgrading when your current machinery no longer meets production demands, incurs excessive maintenance costs, or hinders output quality.
How do servo-driven folders compare to hydraulic systems?
Servo-driven folders offer superior precision, faster adjustments, and lower energy consumption compared to traditional hydraulic systems.
What’s the difference between a combi-beam and double folder?
A combi-beam offers versatility in handling various profiles, while a double folder excels in high-volume production with quick setup changes.
What are signs a roll forming line is no longer cost-effective?
Frequent breakdowns, increased material waste, and inability to meet production deadlines indicate it may be time for an upgrade.
How can automation impact my production line?
Automation reduces labor costs, increases throughput, and ensures consistent quality, making your operations more competitive.
