Custom “Beam Rolling” includes Hardway, Easyway, Changing Radii, Reverses, Ellipses, Compound or Multi-Axis forming, and Sweeping or Helical Spiral sections. We also split Beams into Tees, refer to our “Other Services” page. Our experience allows for the quality control you need to complete your projects in a timely manner.
Also referred to as Wide Flange Beam Bending, Wide Flange Beam Curving, I Beam Bending, and I Beam Curving.
We can work from your CAD files, sketches, or full size templates (paper, wood, etc.). No job too small!
We roll wide flange and I-beams hardway up to W24″ x 62# and easyway up to 36″ wide flange for structural and architectural applications. Beyond single-radius curves, our beam rolling includes changing radii, reverses, ellipses, compound or multi-axis forming, and sweeping or helical spiral sections. We also split beams into tees and straighten them, and those tees can be rolled stem up, stem in, or stem out. Beam rolling is also known as wide flange beam bending, I-beam bending, and I-beam curving.
Beam Rolling Questions
What size beams can you roll?
We roll wide flange and I-beams hardway up to W24″ x 62# and easyway up to 36″ wide flange. That capacity covers both structural and architectural curved beam work.
What is the difference between hardway and easyway beam rolling?
Hardway rolling bends the beam along its stronger axis, and easyway rolling bends it along its weaker axis. Which one your project calls for depends on its structural requirements, and we form both.
Can you roll a beam to more than one radius?
Yes. Our beam rolling goes beyond a single constant curve to include changing radii, reverses, ellipses, compound or multi-axis forming, and sweeping or helical spiral sections.
Can you split beams into tees? Yes. We split beams into tees and straighten them, and those tees can then be rolled stem up, stem in, or stem out.
