Roll-form manufacturers produce a wide range of parts for assembly, including highly contoured automotive exterior panels. Dahlstrom Roll Form (DRF) has roll-formed metal parts for automotive and other types of OEMs since 1904. The parts are made of stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass and bronze, and come in more than 1,600 standard and custom shapes.
Hydraulic presses have been an essential part of DRF’s equipment lineup for decades. In September 2017, the company hired Beckwood Press Co. to design and build a 75-ton, high-speed punching press. It was Beckwood’s fourth custom press for DRF since 2002. Previous models include 58- and 140-ton forming presses, and a 100-ton punching press.
