Based on the machine specifications provided, this roll forming machine is designed for galvanized steel strips with a thickness range of 0.8 to 1.2 mm. The material must be suitable for light steel building applications, which typically requires good formability and corrosion resistance. If you plan to use a different material grade or an uncoated steel, please contact us to verify compatibility, as the forming rollers and cutting system are optimized for galvanized material within this thickness range.

The machine operates at a forming speed of 8-12 meters per minute, with the main power rated at 5.5 kW. For cutting accuracy, the system achieves a tolerance of ±2 mm. Actual throughput will depend on the length of the profiles being produced, as shorter profiles require more frequent cutting cycles. The PLC-controlled system automatically handles the cutting process, so production speed remains consistent as long as the input material and settings are properly maintained.

The complete system includes a manual decoiler, roll forming section with 15 forming stations, hydraulic cutting system, PLC control unit, and runout tables. The shafts are made of first-grade 45# steel, heat treated and quenched, while the rollers are 45# steel with hard chrome coating. Operation is fully automatic under PLC control—operators simply input required quantities and lengths through the touch screen, and the machine processes the steel coil into finished C stud profiles without manual intervention.

The machine requires a 380V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical input. The total connected load includes the 5.5 kW main drive motor for roll forming plus a 3 kW hydraulic power unit for the cutting operation. The control system uses Panasonic PLC with inverter drives and an Omron encoder for accurate length measurement. Ensure your facility can provide stable power at this voltage and phase configuration; if your local supply differs, discuss options with our engineering team before ordering.

This particular machine as shown is set up to produce standard C stud and track profiles from 0.8-1.2mm galvanized steel. Customization is possible but depends on the specific profile dimensions, number of punch holes required, and material width. Each roll forming line is built to order around a specific profile design. We recommend sending us your profile drawings and material specifications so our engineers can assess any modifications needed to the rollers, cutting dies, or punching stations.

A manual decoiler means the steel coil loading is performed by an operator using a manual expansion mechanism rather than an automated coil car. This reduces initial equipment cost but requires an operator to load each new coil. For high-volume production, some customers prefer a hydraulic or motorized decoiler to speed up coil changes. The rest of the line—from roll forming through cutting to the runout table—runs automatically after setup.

Installation time and training requirements depend on your site readiness and your team’s familiarity with PLC-controlled production equipment. Generally, our team provides on-site installation supervision and operator training when the machine is delivered. Your operators will need to learn touchscreen programming for lengths and quantities, coil loading procedures, and routine maintenance tasks. We do not have standard timeframes published for this specific project, but we will provide a detailed installation plan when we prepare your quotation.
