Roll Form Manufacturing in the Data Center Industry

The U.S. and the world need more data center capacity, and roll forming has a vital role to play. Roll formed profiles are strong, rigid, and lightweight. Roll formed components are also easy to assemble, allowing for rapid construction, which in turn helps data centers stay on budget and on time.

Applications

1. Security & Containment Solutions

Window and door frames, cages, and other enclosures are among the top data center applications of roll forming, and this is largely due to the physical properties of profiled steel and aluminum.

2. Structural Framing & Supports

The high strength-to-weight ratio of roll formed profiles minimizes material consumption, and when combined with precise hole punching, ensures rapid, trouble-free assembly.

3. Cable Management Systems

Roll forming is ideal for volume manufacturing of lightweight but complex channel sections with pre-punched holes and knockouts that simplify cable installation.

4. Raised Access Flooring Components

Incorporating ribs, lips, and bends into long lengths provides strength, and precision placement of holes and slots allows rapid integration with other flooring components.

5. Cooling & Ventilation Systems

Roll forming’s ability to hold tight tolerances in both steel and aluminum means profiles made this way fit together with minimal leakage and help maximize system efficiency.

6. Rack-Mounted Equipment Rails & Support Channels

Roll formed channels provide the precision and load-bearing properties needed for trouble-free installation of the structural systems holding servers and related equipment.

MMC Advantage in Data Center Applications

Roll forming is the superior process for mass-producing long and complex steel and aluminum profiles. It’s fast, cost-effective, and, most importantly, accurate and highly consistent.

MMC strives to be a world-class provider of roll formed components by exceeding customer expectations for quality, delivery, and value. Some of the benefits you’ll see when you partner with us include:

Transparent Pricing
Our drive for customer satisfaction is at the core of everything we do. That’s why we’re completely transparent on every aspect of our pricing, from materials to tooling and setup.
Short Lead Times
Waiting for parts can slow data center build-outs, costing revenue and frustrating customers. As a U.S.-based manufacturer, we can ship roll formed products quickly and cost-effectively to our customers in North America, and will provide free quotes within 24 hours.
High-Quality Precision
With 14 roll forming lines in our state-of-the-art facility, we can maintain consistently tight angular tolerances, and holes, slots, and notches are punched to high precision. That means the parts you get from us go together exactly as expected, avoiding assembly problems and helping minimize installation time.
Turnkey Manufacturer
We have the equipment and expertise to turn coil into the parts you need. When you buy from us, there’s no need for additional processing: we take care of everything. It helps keep our lead time short and quality high and makes life easier for our customers.
