Over the last 10 years we have invested in one of the most technically advanced cold rollforming design and production engineering operations of its kind, ensuring maximum productivity and efficiency at every stage of the process.
This investment has seen the incorporation of a suite of sophisticated computer simulation tools. These are used to generate models of elastic and plastic deformation behaviour, material stress and strain evolution, together with full process animations and evaluation of the finished product, giving us the rich data we need to optimise both product design and production processes.
Our capabilities in this area extend across the process of rollforming, from calculation of product performance to roll and press tool design, enabling us to:
We recognise that validation of simulation data is key to this technology. For this reason, we regularly combine simulation technology with physical testing to ensure the results we simulate match reality as closely as possible.
Examples of analysis carried out using this technology include:
