Rollforming Solutions
for Transportation Manufacturing
SAMCO develops rollforming solutions for demanding transportation applications, from highly integrated automotive component lines to guardrail, signpost, and highway-product manufacturing. Each system is engineered around the profile, material, inline operations, quality expectations, and output required by the program.
Two Distinct Production Environments. One Engineering Foundation.
Automotive component manufacturing and highway-product production have very different quality, material, profile, and line-integration demands. SAMCO’s experience spans both, with the production approach developed around the requirements of the application.
Experience Across Passenger and Commercial Automotive Components
SAMCO has developed rollforming lines for structural, safety, body, seating, and trim-related automotive components. Requirements vary significantly between lightweight passenger-vehicle profiles and heavy-gauge commercial or structural parts, making application-specific engineering important from the beginning.
Structural & Chassis Components
Structural underbody components, chassis rails, cross members, rocker panels, and related heavy-gauge profiles.
Safety & Impact Components
Bumpers, side-impact beams, and other profiles where material strength and formed geometry are critical.
Door, Window & Body Profiles
Door sash, pillars, window channels, window-regulator profiles, trim sections, and related body components.
Seat & Interior Structural Components
Seat rails, seat tracks, and other precision roll formed components used within vehicle assemblies.
Integrating More of the Automotive Process Into the Line
Automotive profiles may require multiple operations before the part is ready for downstream assembly. SAMCO can integrate forming with other production functions where the program requires them, reducing unnecessary transfers between standalone processes.

Rollforming for Guardrail and Highway Products
SAMCO designs rollforming equipment for guardrail and highway products including W-beam guardrails, signposts, corrugated beams, and related barrier profiles. Systems can bring together the material-handling, punching, forming, cut-off, and control functions needed for the product.

Engineering Involvement
Before Production Begins
For complex transportation profiles, early manufacturing input can help identify forming, tooling, material, and integration considerations before equipment and tooling decisions are locked in. SAMCO can work with customer engineering teams during the development stage to help move the profile toward a production-ready approach.
