Server Racks
Data centers are vital to our everyday life. They house the servers that store data we regularly use: social media, online banking, and streaming services, just to name a few.
There are about 8,000 data centers around the world, with 2,600 located in the United States.
Data centers average 100,000 square feet, with the largest encompassing 6.3 million square feet.
Housed within each center are rows upon rows of server racks housing hundreds, if not thousands, of servers.
These storage units are made up of long, slender metal parts, similar to what you see in a warehouse.
Server racks need accurate and consistent punching for holes from one part to line up with another.

Roll Forming Advantages
Sever rack systems need a high volume of long, slender parts, which is roll forming’s specialty. Roll forming is a highly repeatable process. Once the tooling is in place, roll forming produces components more consistently than other metal shaping processes, even over long runs.
Why should you consider roll forming for power distribution components? Roll forming can fabricate parts with:
- Huge volumes
- Tolerance control
- Complex profiles
- Inline punching for accepting mating parts
- Tricky hole patterns
Hole punching, bending, and cutting to length can easily fit into one continuous process rather than separate steps. Roll forming is a more cost-effective and productive method in all these cases.
