Roller Die + Forming - Custom Roll Formed Tubes
Roller Die + Forming specializes in the manufacturing of custom roll formed tubes made from a variety of metals including stainless steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum. Each tube can be configured with secondary operations such as pre-punching, bending, and welding to meet specific project requirements. Their in-house tool design capabilities and advanced manufacturing techniques enable the production of tubes with complex geometries and cosmetic components. Additionally, Roller Die offers solutions for both open seam and lock seam tubes, which can be made from pre-painted, galvanized, and other specialized metal types. Their engineering expertise ensures high-quality, precision, and durability in all custom tube projects, capable of meeting tight tolerances and industry standards. The company is equipped to handle large quantity orders while preventing issues such as distortions and inconsistencies, ensuring all roll-formed parts are accurate and long-lasting.
Tubes can be made with a wide variety of metals. They can include many secondary operations to serve their end use.
Let’s get started on your metal tubing solution! Please fill out the form to the right of this page with the specifications of your roll formed tube project.
We are able to fabricate parts from stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and can manufacture roll formed tubes and components of different shapes and sizes. We also offer pre-punch to allow you to put holes in your tube, bending, and welding to help finish your part.
Thanks to our in-house tool design capabilities and advanced manufacturing techniques, we can produce tubes with difficult geometries aw well as highly cosmetic components. No matter your unique requirements or how complex your project, our team of experienced roll forming engineers can help.
An open seam tube is typically formed from a sheet of metal roughly the thickness of a typical wall. The term ‘open’ refers to the gap of width (no greater than 25% of the outside diameter), which runs along the length of the tube. Open seam metal tubing can be produced from a wide variety of materials. Free tooling is likely available for this roll formed shape.
Lock seam tubes are formed from all types of metal and used with pre-painted, galvanized, pre-polished, pre-embossed, and galvannealed varieties. Additionally, strippable PVC can be added to lock seam tubes, in order to protect decorative finishes.
The typical method to roll form lock seam metal tubing is as follows:
- A metal strip is fed through the forming head where the tubing is formed. The two metals are interlocked via a flexible string, which is inserted into and compressed by the lock seam during manufacturing.
- The metal strip that is wrapped can be any standard metal product, surrounded by a layer of stainless steel, brass, copper, or any other metal. This layering is necessary for the product to provide underlying strength and still have a nice decorative finish.
In addition, we can manufacture custom roll formed tubes that require high strength, precision, and tight tolerances. Our design and production setup will help eliminate distortions and inconsistencies. Also, our experts will take end flare and spring-back into consideration during the design. We roll all parts to industry-standard tolerances and can hold even tighter tolerance in certain situations.
Our advanced engineering capabilities make it possible for us to produce custom tubes with a wide range of cross-sections and intricate bending. The tubes will be very strong, durable, and long-lasting. With roll forming and sheet metal roll forming machine at Roller Die, we can produce any custom tubes to feature any length, diameter, and thickness.
