Profiles (50) are formed in a production line with a cross-section that varies along their length from a plane metal strip (10) that is unwound from a tape reel (9), whereby edge cutters (14) and a number of roll-forming units (17-24) are used where not only the edge cutters but also the roll-forming units can be displaced individually sideways relative to the strip. The edge cutters (14) and the roll-forming units (17-24) are individually controlled. The formed profile is curved in a curving station integrated into the line, which curving station comprises roller pairs (82, 84; 83, 85) that can be controlled to roll sides of the profile (50) such that they become thinner such that the profile is curved or twisted as it is formed. The roller pairs and the sideways displacement and the angular motion of the roll-forming units are controlled by the same computer program such that the roller pairs follow the sides and such that a line (II) between the axles of one roller pair is held always perpendicular to the surface being rolled.

L~invention concerne des profils (50) conformés dans une chaîne de production avec une section transversale variant en longueur à partir d~un ruban de métal plan (10) qui se déroule d~une bobine de ruban (9), où l~on utilise des couteaux de bordure (14) et un certain nombre d~unités de conformage de rouleau (17-24) et non seulement les couteaux de bordure mais également les unités de conformage de rouleau peuvent se déplacer individuellement latéralement par rapport au ruban. Les couteaux de bordure (14) et les unités de conformage de rouleau (17-24) sont contrôlés individuellement. Le profil conformé est cintré dans un poste de cintrage intégré à la chaîne, lequel poste de cintrage comprend des paires de rouleaux (82, 84; 83, 85) que l~on peut contrôler pour laminer les côtés du profil (50) pour s~amincir au point d~incurver ou de tordre le profil pour le conformer. Les paires de rouleaux, le déplacement latéral et le mouvement angulaire des unités de conformage de rouleau sont contrôlés par le même programme informatique pour que les paires de rouleaux épousent les côtés et pour qu~une ligne (II) entre les essieux d~une paire de rouleaux soit toujours perpendiculaire à la surface en cours de laminage.
