Main Manufacturers in Brunei

Brunei imports most of its roll forming equipment, typically from China, Europe, and occasionally Malaysia. However, there are local dealers and service agents who represent global manufacturers.

Local fabrication shops may handle customizations, refurbishing, and support. Machine Matcher helps you connect with the right global manufacturers while ensuring local installation and training support.

Setup and Operation of Roll Forming Machines

Setup:

Unload and position machine on a level base.
Connect the machine to a stable 3-phase power source.
Load coil onto uncoiler and feed material into the forming section.
Calibrate tooling based on profile drawing.
Program the PLC control system with length and quantity.

Operation:

Start the uncoiler
Engage the feeding and forming rollers
The PLC controls the length, cutting, and stacking (if automated)
Monitor for alignment, motor heat, and profile accuracy

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue	Possible Cause	Solution
Misaligned profile	Worn or unadjusted rollers	Realign or replace tooling
Hydraulic cutter not working	Low oil or valve fault	Check oil level and replace valve
Machine stops mid-run	PLC error or overheating	Reset PLC, inspect motor temperature
Uneven cutting length	Encoder or sensor issue	Replace encoder, recalibrate sensors
Noise or vibration	Loose gears or misalignment	Tighten drive system, realign shafts

Limitations of Roll Forming Machines

Material Specificity: Designed for specific gauges and materials.
Profile Customization Time: Tool change and setup take time for new profiles.
Initial Cost: High investment for automated systems.
Space Requirements: Machines need long setup space, typically 10–30 meters.
