The role of cold forming equipment
‌ cold-formed molding equipment plays an important role in industrial production, especially in sheet metal forming, it is a kind of material saving, energy saving and efficient processing technology. ‌

Cold forming equipment through the sequential configuration of multi-pass forming rolls, the coil, strip and other metal plate and strip continuously transverse bending to make a specific section profile. This process not only produces high quality steel products, but also can shorten the cycle of product development, improve production efficiency, thereby improving the market competitiveness of enterprises. Over the past half century, cold forming has developed into one of the most effective sheet metal forming technologies, and 35 to 45 percent of rolled strip steel in North America is processed into products through cold forming ‌1.

Cold forming equipment is used in a wide range of fields, including construction, manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding and petrochemical industry. For example, it can be used in the manufacture of boiler tubes, ship components, bridge components and other metal materials to meet the needs of engineering construction and device production ‌2.

In addition, the broad sense of cold bending includes bending, roll bending, three roll bending, continuous rolling bending and other forms, which continuous roll bending produced by the profile and welded pipe tube production of large output, product shape, so the narrow sense of cold bending mainly refers to this specific bending deformation ‌3.

In summary, cold forming equipment through its unique processing technology and wide application, plays a vital role in industrial production, to improve production efficiency, product quality and enterprise competitiveness is of great significance.
