A roll forging machine forms metal in motion, creating elongated shapes through rotating die contact. This process suits high-speed forming applications that require precision under pressure.
Ajax/CECO/Erie Press crafts rolling forge equipment for industrial producers that need stable, repeatable results.
Featuring combination roll shafts, air clutch, and brake, Ajax/CECO/Erie Press Forging Rolls are designed to optimize the roll forging process’s advantages for the production of straight, tapered, or irregular forgings.
We offer:
Each of our systems supports continuous shaping of heating stock with minimal variation across production runs, guaranteeing top-quality results time and time again.
Roll die forging improves dimensional control by gradually forming heated metal between precision-machined rolls. This method reduces deformation and surface defects while keeping tolerances tight throughout the process.
Because material elongation occurs without drastic changes in cross-section, grain structure follows the shape of the part.
Ajax/CECO/Erie Press roll foraging machines produce cleaner grain flow patterns that improve strength and limit the need for secondary operations like machining or heat treatment.
Continuous roll forging supports part production where shaping accuracy and grain direction matter. Ajax/CECO/Erie Press builds roll forging machines that meet specific application needs across multiple sectors.
These forming systems create parts that require elongation and minimal material loss in the following applications:
Each application benefits from the stable deformation and grain orientation that roll forging provides across long production runs.
Roll forging machines process a wide range of metals without requiring full enclosure or extensive thermal input. This open-die method suits materials with varying deformation resistance, including medium-carbon steel, alloy steel, and select nonferrous metals.
Ajax/CECO/Erie Press configures each system to match material flow behavior under load, allowing for controlled elongation and shaping of profiles with varying thicknesses.
This forming method supports repeatable transitions in geometry while maintaining structural integrity across challenging cross-sections.
Ajax/CECO/Erie Press has been building metal forming machinery since 1875 and has a long history of engineering innovation in the forging industry.
Our roll forging machine selection reflects decades of applied experience across mechanical, hydraulic, and hybrid forming systems.
This deep heritage informs every roll forging machine we produce, ensuring each system benefits from legacy design insight and modern precision.

Roll forging machines operate at high speeds, often producing several parts per minute depending on the part size and material. This process supports continuous forming, making it ideal for high-volume production where consistency and cycle time are critical.
Because roll die forging produces parts close to the net shape, it often reduces or eliminates the need for secondary machining. The controlled deformation minimizes flash and allows for better dimensional control.
