Simply faster
and better at the start
Rapid prototyping saves costs and lots of time
For completely new roll forming tasks, for which initially there are no available solutions, we have an efficient answer: under the heading “Rapid Prototyping”, we offer quick and economic processes for production of prototypes and pre-series.
Innovation workshop
A profile new development is started on request in cooperation with you via an innovation workshop, the focus of which is on the development of a systematic method for the development of profile innovations. The outcome is our first drafts for your profile and correspondingly for your roll forming machine. In cooperation with you, we optimise these for example in respect of the material to be used and the production costs.
We validate the effectiveness of the suggested improvements with, amongst other things, a computer simulation of the forming process.
In general, the first prototypes are available inside a project time of eight to twelve weeks after order assignment. Rapid prototyping means we can significantly shorten the time from the first product idea until implementation while simultaneously reducing your overall costs.
Try something new and
deliver it completely finished
In-house test center with 10 test machines and high-performance CO2 lasers
Tinker and test, try out and improve: Special development phases of new or revised roll forming technologies form part of our corporate philosophy, which is simply to go the extra mile for you. In doing so, great emphasis is placed on trustful cooperation with you – additionally, the experimental and test centre is an important reason why we have become established as one of the world leaders in roll forming technology.
Testing under
realistic conditions
New roll forming ideas, with which you enhance your production frequently require a complete process development: We can test such new processes for you under realistic conditions in our special test-center with 10 testing machines and high performance CO2 lasers as well as producing prototypes for you.
Through the carrying out of developments in our test laboratory, for example for sampling or for your market tests, you reduce the costs in the start-up phase and can improve control of the outcome. We have gone through this production solution with numerous other customers of ours, many of whom are now market leaders in their sectors.
Diverse functions
skilfully combined
Direct, reliable and economic incorporation of additional processes
We realise the desire for roll forming systems with a wide range of functionalities with individual technologies. For example, punching and embossing operations can be carried out with high precision directly in your roll forming machine. In the Start-Stop® process developed by us, the roll forming machine works like a highly dynamic precision roll feed.
Complex
profile handling is not needed
In the Start-Stop® process which we developed, the roll forming machine works analogously to a highly dynamic precision roller feed, thus allowing punching and embossing operations to be performed with high precision directly in your roll forming machine
We can also integrate bending operations into your roll forming system on request: This eliminates the need for time-consuming profile handling and additional production equipment.
Thanks to our intensive research and development, we go one step further in the course of process integration if required: our engineers not only have metal forming in their sights for you, but also integrate plastic extruders, PU foaming machines or film coating equipment.
Practical roll forming
with the professionals
Each new roll forming machine contains 75 years of experience
Our experience from over 75 years of roll forming technology and over 2000 delivered roll forming systems is incorporated in every new roll forming machine, giving you practical roll forming systems that are perfectly tailored to your production requirements.
Constant high
production quality
The robust design of our roll forming machines, in conjunction with precise components, ensures you benefit from constant high production quality, even under harsh production conditions. You can also be sure that this won’t change even after many years of heavy labour. Our roll forming machines regularly distinguish themselves in benchmark tests through superior availability and consistently high precision.
In spite of the highly developed technology, our roll forming machines are easy to operate. This prevents operator error and saves you costs arising from possible down time or increased scrap. To minimise downtime during product changeover, our range of setup systems is second to none within the industry. Dependent on the changeover frequency and profile type, we will provide you with just the right changeover concept.

Requirements and
obligations
Quality is always part and parcel of each task
We will discuss your expectations and requirements for our roll forming know-how and our roll forming technologies prior to project start: our team will then be mandated to fulfil your requirements. For successful implementation, the realisation of maximum quality is an ever present factor.
Process-orientated
quality systems
Quality is a team duty: Which is precisely why our employees, partners and suppliers always work hand-in-hand for you, supported by a process-oriented quality system. On the basis of our quality planning processes, we monitor the individual project phases based on quality milestones and checklists: in this way, we identify possible weak points and rectify them in a timely manner. Our quality strategy means we can achieve stable, repeatable and robust manufacturing processes for you.
One of the building blocks here is that we work with you to identify key characteristics for the machine capability (CmK). This is decisive quality criterion for our roll forming systems.
When trialling the roll forming machines in-house, 0 series are produced and evaluated for you. We use recognised measuring equipment and evaluation software for statistical analysis and sampling.
With this software you receive clear, easy-to-understand and comprehensible proof of the quality status of your roll forming system.
Moreover, other processes contribute to the quality assurance of your roll forming system. These include our pre-production forming simulations, the creation of punching plans, 100% commissioning including performance tests and machine capability studies (cm, cmk).
