Depending on the application, different roll-forming head shapes with fixed or adjustable rolls are used. Roll-forming heads are available with one roll only or with several rolls, although it has to be said that mostly heads with 3 rolls are used. Those pressure rolls may be arranged vertically and horizontally as well as at a determined angle to the vertical axis.
· rugged pedestal design
· meets heavy duty requirements
· reduced vibrations
· low resilience
· quick roll-forming head change
· low power requirements
· high roll-forming performance
· easy handling
· stepless height adjustment
· large clamping surface
· machine start by:
- two-hand control

- proximity switch
· Various electric controls available
The Friedrich roll-forming units can, of course, be combined with electronic quality assurance systems. To this effect various controls and programmes are available which are based on pressure versus displacement measurements and matched to the special conditions of roll-formed unions.
