Along with the new tooling technologies come a variety of new forming processes that are likely to be more cost effective than traditional stamping and injection molding at lower volumes, including sheet hydroforming (which is more widespread in Asia than here in North America, but is beginning to gain favor for short run applications); SMC; liquid impact forming; and roll forming. Roll forming provides gentler dewatering over a longer time period, which gives good retention and better control over MD/CD ratio, but formation often suffers. This state-of-the-art, on-line, 360 degree profile measurement system is said to provide lull profile measurement for extrusion, drawing and roll forming processes in the rubber, plastics and roll-formed metal industries. |
