The speed of a roll forming machine can vary depending on several factors such as the type of machine, the complexity of the profile being formed, and the material being used. On average, a roll forming machine operates at speeds ranging from 30 to 300 feet per minute (9 to 90 meters per minute).
Here’s a breakdown:
Machines designed for more complex profiles or thicker materials typically run at lower speeds to ensure precision and quality.
What profiles can run at high speed
High-speed roll forming machines are typically optimized for simpler and more standardized profiles that don't require intricate forming or additional processing steps. Here are some examples of profiles that can run at high speed:
In general, profiles that are straightforward, with minimal bends or non-complex shapes (e.g., without embossing or sharp curves) and use thinner materials are more likely to be run at high speeds.
