Roll Forming Lines for Industrial Shelving Systems

Production of profiles for metal shelving and storage systems

The manufacturing of industrial shelving and storage systems requires production processes capable of combining high productivity, dimensional accuracy and process stability.

Manufacturers of racking profiles need to produce large volumes of uprights, beams and other structural profiles while maintaining tight tolerances, synchronization between operations and fast changeovers between different references. At the same time, any instability in roll forming, punching or profile handling can lead to line stoppages, assembly issues or quality-related costs. In this context, roll forming lines for industrial shelving systems must guarantee continuous production, repeatability and flexibility.

Fagor Arrasate develops solutions designed to address these challenges and optimize plant productivity.

Challenges in the production of profiles for industrial shelving systems

  • Fagor Arrasate’s roll forming lines ensure synchronization between punching, forming and cutting to manufacture uprights, beams and structural profiles with high repeatability, preventing deviations that could affect final shelving system assembly.
  • Quick tooling change solutions and adjustable roll forming station configurations help reduce setup times and adapt more flexibly to different profile geometries, hole patterns and lengths.
  • Fagor Arrasate’s complete roll forming lines integrate decoiling, punching, forming and cutting in a synchronized process that maintains production flow continuity and improves overall line performance.
  • Automatic unloading, conveying and stacking systems enable safer and more stable handling of long structural profiles, reducing manual intervention and preventing damage or deformation to the part.
  • The robust design of roll forming lines for industrial shelving systems makes it possible to operate at high production rates with reliability, accuracy and consistency in long runs.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

  • Roll forming makes it possible to produce metal profiles continuously and at high speed with great dimensional repeatability. It is especially efficient for constant-length profiles and long production runs, as it reduces material waste and improves process stability.
  • In addition to progressive roll forming, the lines can integrate operations such as decoiling, straightening or flattening the material, punching, welding, cutting and automatic handling of the finished profile.
  • The lines can incorporate a double decoiler, strip accumulators, and coil joining or welding systems. This allows the line to keep running while the material change is carried out.
  • The lines can incorporate a double decoiler, strip accumulators, and coil joining or welding systems. This allows the line to keep running while the material change is carried out.
  • In certain configurations, the cassettes can incorporate servo axes on the X and Y axes that automatically adjust the roller position, making it easier to adapt to different profiles without changing the entire tooling set.
