Sheet Metal Rolling Services
Solera Metal Fabrication specializes in sheet metal rolling services for standard and highly customized parts. Our advanced CNC rolling machines can roll steel, stainless steel, and aluminum sheet metal into exact specifications with high precision. Metal rolling services cover pipes, cones, plates, C-channels, and more. Due to our state-of-the-art in-house capabilities, our sheet metal rolling services also extend to fabricators and contractors for commercial and industrial projects.
The sheet metal rolling process is highly automated and controlled, leading to desired outcomes without distortion. This makes Solera Metal Fabrication an excellent choice for metal rolling prototypes as well as large production runs.
Our Sheet Metal Rolling Capabilities
Solera Metal Fabrication is adept at handling materials up to 80’’ in length and 0.5’’ in thickness.
- Sheet & Plate Rolling: Our sheet rolling services encompass plates, as we can roll them into perfect arcs.
- Cylinders, Cones, Channels And Curved Panels: Aside from plate rolling service, we also fabricate pipes, cylinders, cones, C-channels, U-channels and curved panels of exact dimensions.
- Light To Heavy Gauge Materials: Our rolling machines can handle sheets and plates of both light and heavy gauges to create the required curves.
- Tight Radius And Large Diameter Rolling: Our sheet metal rolling services can create parts with tight radii or with large diameters as required.
- Custom One-off & Batch Production: We offer custom sheet metal rolling for one-off prototypes and batch production for standard, OEM parts.
Materials We Roll
- Mild Steel: Mild steel is a popular material for steel sheet rolling due to its high ductility.
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel rolling done with a length of 80’’ and 0.5’’.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and ductile, aluminum sheet rolling is possible with the above-mentioned dimensions.
- Carbon Steel: Rolling steel is possible due to its excellent malleability and high cost-to-strength ratio.
- Structural Steel: Great material for metal rolling due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and durability.
What Is Sheet Metal Rolling?
The sheet metal rolling process involves taking metal sheets or strips and reducing their thickness and improving their uniformity through rolling. This turns them into curved shapes such as cones, cylinders, tubes, and more. Rolling sheet metal is different from bending, as the latter uses localized forces to create sharp angles. Metal rolling, on the other hand, applies a uniform force to create a consistent, curved radius.
Also known as curved metal forming, the process can be used to manufacture rings, tanks, and enclosures for key industrial processes. Metal rolling is also versatile as it is suitable for both thin and thick sheets alike.
Industries We Serve
Our sheet metal rolling services serve the following industries:
- Manufacturing & Fabrication: Industrial metal rolling is used to manufacture staircases, railings, storage tanks, doors, and custom-designed parts.
- Construction & Structural Steel: Structural steel rolling is used to make arches, silos, and architectural metalwork for commercial buildings.
- Automotive & Transportation: In this sector, sheet metal rolling is used to manufacture exhaust pipes, bumpers, door panels, fenders, and fuel systems.
- HVAC & Ventilation Systems: The extensive ducting and piping used in HVAC systems require the precision and expertise of industrial metal rolling.
- Energy & Infrastructure: Large diameter pipes for transporting oil and gas, wind turbine tower components, and frames for solar panels are all made with sheet metal rolling.
