ArticlesMuti Profile Roll Forming Machines
Posted by Ben Browne on Thursday, May 25, 2023
Multi-profile roll forming machines, also known as multi-profile roll formers or multi-profile roll forming lines, are industrial machines used to manufacture multiple profiles or shapes from a single machine setup. These machines are commonly used in the production of metal components for various industries, including construction, automotive, and appliance manufacturing.
Unlike single-profile roll forming machines that are designed to produce a specific profile, multi-profile roll formers are versatile and can produce different profiles by changing the tooling or roll sets. This flexibility makes them efficient and cost-effective for manufacturers who require the production of multiple profiles or shapes.
Material Feeding
The machine is equipped with a material feeding system that supplies a continuous strip of metal. The metal strip can be made of various materials, such as steel, aluminum, or copper.
Roll Forming
The metal strip passes through a series of rollers or roll stations that are designed to gradually shape the material into the desired profiles. Each roll station corresponds to a specific profile, and the machine operator can adjust or replace the roll sets to switch between different profiles.
Cutting and shearing
Once the desired length of the profile is achieved, the machine may include cutting or shearing mechanisms to separate the finished component from the remaining strip. This can be done through methods such as flying cutoff, rotary shear, or hydraulic shear.
Control system
Multi-profile roll forming machines are equipped with a control system that allows operators to set parameters such as profile dimensions, roll positioning, speed, and other process variables. This enables precise control and adjustment of the machine for producing different profiles.
Tooling and roll set change
To switch between profiles, the machine operator needs to change the tooling or roll sets. This involves removing the existing rolls and installing new rolls that correspond to the desired profile. The tooling changeover process may require adjusting the roll forming stations, guides, and other components to accommodate the new profile.
By utilizing a multi-profile roll forming machine, manufacturers can streamline their production processes and reduce the need for multiple dedicated machines. This approach offers flexibility, saves space, and lowers costs associated with maintaining and operating multiple machines for different profiles.
It's important to note that specific features and functionalities of multi-profile roll forming machines may vary depending on the manufacturer and the requirements of the profiles being produced.
