Yoder Supplies Roll Former & Tooling Set for Strut

Yoder recently supplied a set of combination roll tooling and a twenty-four station rafted QVW-200 for producing strut channel.  The tooling set can produce 10 sizes of strut profile from 13/16” to 3-1/4” profile height in 12 and 14 gauge thickness for mild carbon steel, G60 hot dipped galvanized steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel.  This combination tooling set is a duplicate that has been provided to the customer before.  Yoder’s unique tooling design minimizes changeover between profile sizes and eliminates the expensive flange rolls that are typical of competitor’s strut tooling design.  This design functionality enables the customer to quickly change over to the less common strut sizes, for short order production.

Yoder roll forming solutions are purposefully designed and manufactured to meet a range of custom and high production, industrial applications.  For more information, contact yoder@formtekgroup.com, call (216) 292-4460 or visit www.yodermfg.com.

Hill Engineering Supplies Cutoff for Strut Profiles

Hill Engineering recently supplied pivot crop die and inserts for cutting to length strut channel on a customer existing roll forming line.  The die can cut 10 sizes of strut profile from 13/16” to 3-1/4” profile height in 12 and 14 gauge thickness for mild carbon steel, G60 hot dipped galvanized steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel.  Hill Engineering’s unique pivot crop design minimizes the breakage of the cutting section instead the small features of the strut profile, enabling the customer to run longer between sharpening.
