• Annually: Full diagnostic checkup, major part replacements if needed.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Uneven Profile Output: Likely caused by worn or misaligned rollers.

• Hydraulic Cutting Delay: Check solenoids or hydraulic oil levels.

• Motor Overheating: Clean ventilation, ensure proper motor load.

• PLC Error Codes: Fault in sensor or programming logic—requires software check.

• Excessive Noise or Vibration: Gear misalignment or loose base mounts.

Limitations of Roll Forming Machines

• Not ideal for short production runs or low-volume customization

• High initial investment cost

• Profile-specific tooling—limited flexibility without multiple sets

• Requires skilled setup and maintenance personnel

• Sensitive to material thickness and coil quality

Benefits of Roll Forming Machines

• High-speed and high-volume production

• Uniform profile quality with tight tolerances

• Low waste and high material efficiency

• Minimal labor required with automation

• Reduced per-unit cost over long production runs

• Capable of producing complex profiles with integrated punching

Setup, Installation, and Commissioning

1. Foundation: Flat concrete surface, at least 500mm clearance on all sides

2. Electrical Setup: 380V or 415V 3-phase power (Cyprus standard)

3. Coil Loading: Use uncoiler or coil car for safe and efficient loading

4. Roller Calibration: Set based on profile drawing, tested with sample runs

5. Commissioning: Dry run without material, followed by sample run with coil

6. Training: Operator training on machine use, emergency stops, PLC handling

Operation and Maintenance

• Operate using the touch-screen PLC interface

• Feed coil material into entry guide

• Monitor production speed, profile accuracy, and cutting alignment

• Regularly clear metal shavings and lubricate key components

• Replace rollers or blades as per wear indicators

Price Range for Roll Forming Machines (International Market)

Prices vary based on automation level, production speed, material thickness range, and optional extras like stackers or remote diagnostics.

Main Manufacturers of Roll Forming Machines in Cyprus

There are very few local manufacturers of roll forming machines in Cyprus. Most companies import machines from Europe, China, or Turkey. However, local service providers and resellers do offer installation, commissioning, and maintenance services.

For this reason, working with global machine experts like Machine Matcher can give you access to a wider inventory with technical support and better value.

Design Standards for Roll Forming Machines in Cyprus

Machines used in Cyprus generally follow CE and ISO standards to meet European compliance. Key standards include:

• EN 60204-1 (Safety of Machinery)

• ISO 9001 (Quality Management)

• CE Compliance (for electrical and mechanical components)

• EN 1090 (Structural Steel Components for Buildings)
