Roll forming of slats for metal roller shutters

Our customer, a specialist in closure solutions and metal roller shutters, entrusts us with its coils of galvanised sheet, 1 mm thick and 1,250 mm wide.

TPS has developed specific tooling that carries out R3T4 perforation and slitting simultaneously, in a single operation.

A 1,250 mm coil thus becomes 7 perforated coils of 175 mm, ready for roll forming into roller shutter slats.

A solution that eliminates an intermediate slitting operation and simplifies our customer’s process.

A solution designed around the customer’s process

Thanks to this solution, our customer can buy its material directly as a standard 1,250 mm wide coil, without having to have it slit beforehand.

TPS delivers 175 mm coils, perforated and ready for roll forming, so the customer can produce its roller shutter slats directly to the required length.

A simplified process, less handling and material tailored directly to its needs.

The challenge

Our solution

Our added value

This project illustrates TPS’s ability to go beyond standard perforation:

  • Bespoke perforation to the customer’s specification
  • Slitting and perforation carried out simultaneously
  • Specific tooling designed and developed by TPS
  • Working directly from the customer’s coil
  • 7 coils of 175 mm obtained from a 1,250 mm master coil
  • Material ready to be roll formed into roller shutter slats
At TPS, we develop our perforation solutions around our customers’ processes, with one simple goal: to turn an industrial constraint into an efficient production solution that can be used straight away.
