Light Steel Frame Roll Forming Machine for U Channel Metal Stud and Track

In the context of the accelerated popularization of prefabricated buildings and green construction worldwide, light steel keel, as the core skeleton of drywall partitions and ceiling systems, directly determines the flatness, construction speed, and overall quality of building interior decoration with its molding accuracy and production efficiency. The Light Steel Frame Roll Forming Machine for U Channel Metal Stud and Track, as the core equipment for producing C-shaped vertical keels (Stud) and U-shaped sky and earth keels (Track), is helping building material manufacturers and construction enterprises achieve dual improvement in production capacity and quality with its high-precision forming, flexible changeover, and fully automated control.

What is a light steel keel forming machine?

The Light Steel Frame Roll Forming Machine is a fully automatic cold bending equipment designed to gradually roll galvanized or color coated steel strips into C-shaped vertical keels and U-shaped sky and earth keels through multiple precision arranged rollers. The equipment adopts the design concept of "the first mock examination with two outlets" or "the first mock examination with more outlets". A set of forming mold can produce both C-shaped and U-shaped keels at the same time or separately. The specification can be flexibly adjusted by changing the gasket.

The standard production process is: uncoiling → feeding guidance → roll forming → hydraulic punching → cutting to length → finished product output. The entire production line is coordinated by a PLC control system, and operators can set parameters such as keel length, production quantity, punching position, etc. through a touch screen.

Key technical features：

1.Efficient integration:
With integrated punching and cutting design, the molding speed can reach 20m/min, and the maximum output per shift (8 hours) can reach 2400 meters, which is 3-5 times higher than traditional equipment.

2.High forming accuracy:
The rolling mill adopts precision grinding technology, combined with servo drive system, the cross-sectional size error of the profile is ≤± 0.2mm, and the punching position deviation is ≤ 0.5mm, meeting the accuracy requirements of building assembly.

3.Multi specification compatibility:
The equipment comes with 5 sets of forming mold wheels, which can be quickly replaced with roller sets (about 1.5 hours) to adapt to various types of keel production such as U-shaped, C-shaped, and card type, reducing equipment investment costs.

Main application scenarios：

• Ceiling engineering:
Production of main keel (U-shaped, cross-sectional width 38-60mm) and auxiliary keel (C-shaped, width 50-75mm), suitable for large-scale space ceiling skeleton construction such as shopping malls and office buildings, using galvanized sheet material for rust prevention and durability.
• Partition wall system:
Processing vertical keel (C-type, thickness 0.5-0.6mm) and horizontal keel, used for lightweight partition wall construction in hospitals and residential areas, can be combined with rock wool filling to achieve sound insulation and thermal insulation function.
• Integrated Decoration:
Production of baked paint keel and card type keel, with a surface treated with baked paint and uniform color, suitable for decoration scenes such as hotels and exhibition halls that require high aesthetic standards.​

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)：

Q1: What specifications of C-type and U-shaped keels can this device produce?

The equipment can produce various C-type vertical keel specifications such as C41, C63.5, C92, C102, C152, as well as corresponding matching U-shaped sky and earth keels. By replacing gaskets or adjusting PLC parameters, multi specification production can be achieved on the same device. Special cross-sections can also be customized according to customer needs.

Q2: Does the device support fully automatic changeover?

The device offers two configurations: manual gasket adjustment type suitable for production needs with limited specifications; The fully automatic servo adjustment type is controlled by PLC and can complete specification switching within minutes, suitable for flexible production of multiple specifications and small batches.

Q3: How to ensure the forming accuracy of the equipment?

Precision assurance comes from three levels: the forming mold is made of Cr12 mold steel, which is vacuum quenched to HRC60-62 ° and precision ground to ensure accurate forming contours; The PLC closed-loop control system, in conjunction with the encoder, monitors and adjusts production parameters in real-time; The online laser caliper continuously monitors key dimensions with a height tolerance controlled within ± 0.1mm.

Q4: Does the device support online punching?

support. The equipment can be equipped with a hydraulic online punching system, which synchronously completes the hole processing on the keel during the forming process. The punching control accuracy is high, reducing secondary processing steps and improving overall production efficiency.
