Detailed Machine Operation Flow:
Automatic Decoiling & Feeding: The process initiates with a hydraulic or motorized decoiler, securely holding and feeding large steel coils into the line. An optional coil car facilitates efficient loading. An entry guide ensures precise strip alignment.
Precision Leveling: The material progresses through a multi-roller leveling unit. This critical stage meticulously removes any internal stresses, coil set, or surface irregularities from the strip. Perfect flatness is essential for achieving the dimensional accuracy required in the final U-keel profile. The number and configuration of leveling rolls are optimized for the target material thickness.
Progressive Roll Forming: The heart of the China light keel roll forming machine line is its meticulously engineered roll forming station. Comprising a sequence of precisely machined forming stands, the flat strip is gradually and smoothly transformed into the exact U-profile. Each set of hardened steel rolls imparts a specific bend angle, ensuring the final cross-section meets stringent tolerances without material deformation or surface marring. The forming process is incredibly smooth and efficient.
High-Speed Precision Cutting: Following forming, the continuous U-profile enters the cutting section. A servo-driven flying cut-off system is employed. This sophisticated mechanism synchronizes perfectly with the moving profile. Hydraulic or pneumatic shears deliver a clean, burr-free cut at pre-programmed lengths (commonly 3m, 3.6m, or customizable) without stopping the line flow, enabling maximum productivity. Encoder feedback guarantees cut length accuracy within fractions of a millimeter.
Automated Stacking & Output: The finished U-keels are conveyed to the automated stacking unit. This system employs belts, arms, or counters to neatly organize the cut pieces into predetermined stack patterns (e.g., bundles of 50 or 100). The stacks are then conveyed out of the line, ready for strapping, packaging, and shipment. Optional automatic strapping or binding can be integrated.

FAQ
Q: Are you a trading company or a factory?
A: We are a factory with a professional production team and service consciousness, just for exporting various types of cold roll forming machines.
Q: Can a machine produce only one style of panel profile?
A: Not complete. Suitable for the U China light keel roll forming machine line. It can produce more than 3 panels.
Q: How long does it take to manufacture the machine?
A: In general, the U China light keel roll forming machine line be completed in 20 to 45 business days. But if you need machines urgently, we can save you time.
Q: Is there quality control when producing the production line?
A: Yes, we have a team that is responsible for quality control, including the laying of raw materials, processing rolls and other parts, processing, assembly, testing, and packaging on the roll surface and shaft.
Q: What can you do if the machine breaks?
A: Our machine is warranted for 24 months. If the damaged part cannot be repaired, we can send a new part to replace the damaged part, but you will need to pay the courier fee yourself. If the warranty period is exceeded, we can resolve the issue through negotiation, and we provide technical support for the entire life cycle of the device.
