LINEAR LIGHTING
The current trends in linear lighting are
changing. While the use
of aluminum extrusions is fading, steel housings are becoming
more popular to produce a competitive product per linear foot.
Most current methods of producing linear lighting involve
press braking, which is labor intensive and requires massive
equipment in order to handle lengths up to 12 feet. The same
methods also entail additional manpower to handle the large
lengths as they are formed.
By definition, linear lighting is a natural
capability for roll forming equipment, meaning roll forming
is a more sophisticated tool for producing continuity to dimensional
requirements. By feeding the metal between successive pairs
of rolls that increasingly shape the metal until the desired
cross section is completed, roll forming machines reduce labor
and have consistent reproducible cross sections, making it
the best choice for specification grade products.
Adam Metal Products is now producing roll
formed linear lighting. Using heavy gauge roll formers with
specialty designed tooling, Adam Metal Products is able to
produce a high quality product with a low piece price cost.
Their extensive roll-forming department is equipped with over
a dozen heavy duty, high speed production lines, which enable
them to economically produce quality profiles continually
and to rigid specifications. Adam Metal Products also has
several additional lines available for custom roll forming
with capacities in a broad range of material thickness and
profiles.
Look for new snap together undercabinets 318
(T-8), 319 (T-8), 322 (T-12, T-8) and 324 (T-12, T-8) Series
in the first quarter of 2002. Adam Metal Products is also
completing tooling for a variety of new strip lighting fixtures.
For information on linear lighting, other
proprietary units, strip lighting fixtures or the upcoming
snap together undercabinets, please contact your local BBS
sales representative, who will in turn, follow through with
Adam Metal Products' engineering team.
