The slide rail is the latest device driven by rectilinear reciprocating motion. It is used for the great deal of fields with the progress of high technology in these days: for example, telecommunication device, measurement device, copy machine, refrigerator, car, office furniture and wood furniture, etc., But it is very difficult to produce the press mold that has a. forming of narrow thickness, straight quality and high accuracy. Recently Roll forming technique is used to fabricate the slide rail. To evaluate the characteristics of each path shape is not easy because the roll forming passes the sheet metal in the continuously arranged multistage roll stands.
In this paper, Roll forming simulation is performed to make U-channel using SHARP-RF. Longitudinal strain and total effective strain are evaluated. In addition, Bowing and Camber which is one of the several defects are measured.
