 Watch video: Samco Rollforming - About Samco Machinery |
Samco offers innovation and design of complete rollforming lines. We also replace tooling on any roll former even if it is not a Samco roll former.
Samco stresses the importance of proper roll tooling as paramount to the success of any metal forming operation. Proper design and precise workmanship go into every set of rolls that we ship.
Tryout Mills
What we have done for our customers to make replacing a set of roll tooling easy is to set up tooling tryout mills on our shop floor. Samco has tryout mills for various sizes of in-house roll tooling. After we make the new roll set, we try it out on our rollformer first. It gets shipped to you ready to go. It’s important that you are only down for the amount of time it takes to get the rolls changed.
COPRA FEA
Samco uses Copra FEA (Finite Element Analysis) for many of our customer’s new designs. This gives the ability to test tooling on a virtual tooling try-out mill before the mill is even built on the shop floor. The advantage of this is it pinpoints potential forming problems, and predicts actual strip shape at each roll stand. This is extremely valuable to customers that have profiles with potential challenges. The investment that goes into building unproven tooling can be astronomical on rollformers with many passes. We are the only rollforming designers using this software to its full potential in North America.
