How to Form High Strength Steel Using Roll Forming Machines

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Do you have a product made of High Strength Steel?  Over the past 30 years, SAMCO has built some of the most innovative rollforming lines — handling products from 90,000 psi up to 220,000 psi yield strength Martinsitic coil stock — including in-line cold reductions performed during the rollforming operation.

The automotive industry is continually adopting higher strength materials so that thinner gauges can be used in order to reduce vehicle weight.

SAMCO also produces steel truss lines that rollform ¼” thick product made of 90,000 psi yield strength steel — and produces each component at over 325 feet per minute. 

Specially-designed auto-gauging control with digital readouts allow the operator to change from 0.090” to 0.210” thick material — in about 10 seconds — at the touch of a button. Automation built for the 21st century — SAMCO’s customers enjoy tomorrow’s technology today.

State-of-the-Art high speed Hydraulic Hydrex presses easily cut through this high strength steel — and can be powered by OPEN loop or digitially-controlled CLOSED loop servo accelerators.  These powerful hydraulically-powered presses can perform 200 strokes per minute — depending upon the application.

SAMCO offers flexible rollforming systems in fixed shaft and through-shaft duplex rollforming mills for High Strength steel applications.
