The C purlin roll forming machine is a professional cold roll forming device designed to process metal coils (such as steel strips and plates) into C-shaped steel components through continuous roll pressing, bending, and fixed-length cutting. Widely used in steel structure buildings, solar mounting systems, warehouse shelving, automotive manufacturing, and container frames, this equipment has become a core asset in modern metal processing industries, thanks to its high precision, high productivity, and low material waste.
1. Core Advantages of the Equipment
- High-Precision Forming & Controllable Dimensions
Equipped with a CNC servo system and precision roll design, it accurately controls key parameters of C purlins (e.g., flange width, web thickness, bending angle). The finished product dimensional tolerance is within ±0.5mm, fully meeting strict standards for construction and solar industries. It supports processing steel strips of 0.8–3.0mm thickness, compatible with Q235, Q345, galvanized plates, and other materials. - High Efficiency & Energy Saving, Outstanding Productivity
The integrated transmission design and variable frequency speed regulation system enable a forming speed of 8–15m/min, increasing productivity by over 30% compared to traditional equipment. Meanwhile, the energy-efficient motor ensures low noise and low energy consumption, reducing long-term production and operation costs for enterprises. - Flexible Customization for Multiple Scenarios
Customizable roll dies allow adjustment of C purlin cross-sectional dimensions (e.g., web height of 50–300mm). It can also be adapted to produce Z-purlins, U-purlins, and other profiles—one machine meets multiple processing needs, greatly improving equipment utilization. - Intelligent Control & Easy Operation
Equipped with a PLC touch screen control system, it integrates parameter setting, fault diagnosis, and production counting. Operators can master it after simple training. The built-in fixed-length cutting device (hydraulic/pneumatic) works with servo motors to ensure high cutting precision and smooth, burr-free edges.
2. Main Components of the Equipment
- Uncoiler (hydraulic expansion or mechanical adjustment type): Adapts to different metal coil specifications, enabling automatic uncoiling and leveling to prevent coil deviation.
- Leveling Device: Eliminates stress deformation of coils, ensures material flatness, and provides a stable foundation for subsequent forming.
- Main Forming System: The core part, composed of multiple sets of precision rolls, processes steel strips into C-shaped cross-sections via progressive bending.
- Fixed-Length Cutting System: Uses hydraulic/pneumatic cutting, controlled by servo motors for length accuracy, ensuring smooth, burr-free cuts.
- Discharge Rack: Collects finished purlins for easy stacking and transportation.
3. Applicable Industries & Scenarios
- Steel Structure Buildings: Used as roof purlins and wall studs to reduce building weight and enhance structural stability.
- Solar Mounting Systems: Processes high-strength C purlins for solar panel installation, with excellent wind and pressure resistance.
- Warehouse Logistics: Manufactures beams and columns for heavy-duty shelving, with strong load-bearing capacity for large warehouse storage needs.
- Automotive & Containers: Used in the processing of automotive chassis frames and container borders to enhance product structural strength.
