Body parts

Flexible, forward-looking production concepts with maximum productivity

Longitudinal chassis beams for automotive series production are increasingly manufactured from roll formed parts: The majority of these are produced using our roll forming systems. With other body parts too, our roll forming technology can help to reduce the weight and costs of your product.

Flexible production concepts

We offer future-orientated, flexible production concepts with maximum productivity for a series of body parts. Amongst these for example are sill reinforcements, cross members, tunnel reinforcements or side rails. Here we supply production-ready components of impressive quality made from high-strength or ultra-high-strength steels or aluminium.

Roll forming is better than other processes for processing heavy, high-strength materials.

With these, you will minimise your tooling costs for the production of part variants. It may be possible to produce length variants even completely without additional tooling costs.

Thanks to our modular machine design, we make tailor-made solutions a reality for every requirement. The result for you is low investment costs and low prices per part. Moreover, you can achieve minimum setup times when producing multiple part variants thanks to the flexible concepts. This ensures your high-production systems are still fully used even when working with small batch sizes.

Examples of roll forming machines for body parts

Our roll forming machines for body parts offer high economy and exceptional efficiency.

Strip feeding systems

Within an overall concept, you will also receive the appropriate strip-feeding system from us: It is used for the continuous supply of the roll forming system with the raw material, the flat strip. Flat strip systems make an important contribution to the productivity of the overall system and the quality of the parts. Highly automated strip systems perform a complete coil change in 3 minutes, including welding of the strip ends.

Pre- and post-punching systems

The integration of pre-and post-punching systems is of particular importance for the production of production-ready body components: In doing so, you will minimise the number of downstream process steps and associated costs while simultaneously improving the product quality.

The number of punch operations that can be integrated, is almost unlimited. A major advantage for you is the Start-Stop® operation introduced by us: Here the roll forming machine operates like a precision roller feed, feeding the completed parts with high positional accuracy to the press and punching tools.

Roll formed part

With our roll forming machines you will achieve high production speed and very low material consumption. In contrast to press manufacturing there is practically no cutting scrap. A third, essential advantage for you are tooling costs which are also lower in comparison. In the past, roll forming was viewed as relatively inflexible because of the longer changeover times. Thanks to new changeover technologies, our roll forming systems are amongst the most flexible manufacturing technologies used in body part production.
