FAQ Section

When is the right time to upgrade a roll former or folder?

The ideal time to upgrade is when your current equipment no longer meets production demands or when maintenance costs outweigh the benefits. Regular evaluations can help identify these tipping points.

How do servo-driven folders compare to hydraulic systems?

Servo-driven folders offer greater precision and efficiency compared to hydraulic systems. They provide faster operation and require less maintenance, making them a superior choice for many applications.

What’s the difference between a combi-beam and double folder?

A combi-beam folder is versatile, allowing for both folding and bending operations, while a double folder offers enhanced speed and precision for complex tasks. The choice depends on specific production needs.

What are signs a roll forming line is no longer cost-effective?

Increased downtime, frequent repairs, and inconsistent product quality are key indicators that a roll forming line may need an upgrade or replacement.
