The automatic roll forming machine is a type of equipment used to continuously process metal plates into specific shapes through rolling. It typically consists of multiple sets of rollers, with the plate being repeatedly pressed and formed between them to finally achieve the desired sectional shape. The automatic roll forming machine is widely used, especially in the manufacturing industry, for producing various metal profiles such as steel structures for construction, vehicle body parts, and appliance components.
Uncoiler: Used to place the raw material coil and feed the plate into the roll forming machine.
Straightener: Performs preliminary straightening of the material entering the equipment to make it flat.
Forming main machine: The core part of the forming process, consisting of one or more sets of rollers, which gradually press the metal plate into the desired shape.
Cutting system: The product, after roll forming, is cut into fixed lengths by the cutting system.
Control system: Typically utilizes PLC control, which can set the forming speed, cutting length, etc., according to different requirements.
The working principle of the automatic roll forming machine is to gradually press the metal plate into shape through a series of rollers with progressively changing shapes. The plate is subjected to force between each set of rollers, undergoing plastic deformation, and its shape gradually approaches the designed section until it is formed. Unlike traditional stamping processes, roll forming is more suitable for the production of long strip-shaped structures, and due to continuous processing, it offers higher production efficiency and better product consistency.
High production efficiency: Due to continuous forming, automatic roll forming machine is faster than the stamping process and suitable for mass production.
High precision and consistency: By precisely designing the roller shapes of automatic roll forming machine, forming quality and consistency can be ensured.
High material utilization rate: There is little material waste during the process of automatic roll forming machine, resulting in high utilization.
High flexibility: Different sectional shapes can be produced by changing the rollers or adjusting equipment parameters.
The automatic roll forming machine is applicable to various industries, including but not limited to the following fields:
Construction industry: The automatic roll forming machine produces purlins, wall panels, roof panels for steel structures.
Automotive industry: The automatic roll forming machine manufactures structural parts such as car body frames, door and window rails.
Appliance manufacturing: The automatic roll forming machine is used to produce internal structural parts of appliances like brackets for refrigerators and air conditioners.
Electrical industry: The automatic roll forming machine produces metal components for products such as cable trays and distribution cabinets.
Overall, the automatic roll forming machine is characterized by high efficiency, precision, and high material utilization, making it suitable for mass production of standardized metal profiles.
