The Metal Forming Equipment Council (MFEC)/Rollformer Council has partnered with a collaboration of machinery OEMs to provide a structured outline of the benefits of proper general maintenance schedules for machinery. Fabricating accurate and aesthetically acceptable metal trim and panels is essential to the success and efforts of many other supply chains of metal materials in construction including roofing, exterior wall panels and other unique panel applications. Sheet metal shops using metal-forming equipment with well-executed preventive maintenance programs experience less unexpected downtime and manufacturing disruptions.
