Angle bar roll forming machine profile

Here’s an outline of a typical angle bar profile produced by roll forming machines:

Posted on Thursday, October 3, 2024

An angle bar roll forming machine produces metal angle bars, typically used in construction, fabrication, and other structural applications. These angle bars, also known as L-shaped profiles, are essential for reinforcing structures, serving as supports, or creating frames.

Angle Bar Profile:

  • Shape: L-shaped (90-degree angle)
  • Leg Lengths: Typically symmetrical (both legs are equal in length), but they can also be asymmetrical.
  • Thickness: Varies depending on the material and application, but commonly ranges from 1.5 mm to 6 mm.
  • Materials: Steel (galvanized, cold-rolled, or hot-rolled), aluminum, or stainless steel.
  • Dimensions: The height and width of the legs typically range from 20 mm to 150 mm, with custom sizes possible depending on the machine's capability.
  • Applications: Used in construction for frameworks, supports, reinforcement, and as brackets in various structures.

Angle Bar Roll Forming Machine Overview:

  • Profile: Produces L-shaped angle bars with various dimensions based on user requirements.
  • Materials: Processes galvanized steel, stainless steel, cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, aluminum, and other metals commonly used in construction and fabrication.

Specifications:

  1. Material Thickness:
    • Capable of handling metal thicknesses ranging from 1.5 mm to 6 mm, depending on the machine’s configuration.
  2. Forming Speed:
    • Standard forming speeds range from 10 to 20 meters per minute. Machines with higher efficiency can reach speeds up to 40 meters per minute or more.
  3. Leg Length Range:
    • Can produce leg lengths between 20 mm to 150 mm or more, with adjustable tooling for creating both symmetrical (equal legs) and asymmetrical (unequal legs) profiles.
  4. Machine Dimensions and Layout:
    • Length: 6–10 meters depending on configuration.
    • Width: 1.2–2 meters.
    • Height: Approximately 1.5–2 meters.
  5. Roll Stations:
    • The machine typically comes with 12 to 24 roll stations, ensuring gradual bending and precise shaping of the metal into the desired angle profile.
  6. Power:
    • Operates with a 15–30 kW motor depending on the machine size and production speed requirements.
  7. Control System:
    • Advanced machines are equipped with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) systems for easy operation, adjustment of profiles, and automatic length cutting.
  8. Cutting System:
    • The machine includes a hydraulic cutting system or flying cut-off mechanism for continuous production without stopping, ensuring clean and precise cuts at the desired length.
  9. Uncoiler/Decoiler:
    • Supports a coil weight capacity of up to 5 tons or more, enabling continuous feeding of the metal sheets into the roll forming process.

Key Features:

  • High Precision: Advanced forming stations ensure accurate angles and clean bends, with tight tolerances.
  • Customizable Profiles: Allows customization for different leg lengths, angles, and thicknesses to suit various applications.
  • Low Maintenance: Designed for long-term operation with minimal downtime due to its robust structure.
  • Automatic Operation: Equipped with automatic feeding, cutting, and length measuring systems to reduce manual labor and improve efficiency.
  • Durable Rolls: The rolls are made of hardened steel or chrome-coated for longer life and precision over long production runs.

Applications of Angle Bars:

  • Structural support in construction (frames, bracing, trusses).
  • Reinforcement in building and bridge construction.
  • Industrial shelving, racks, and supports.
  • Fabrication of metal products such as enclosures, guards, and housings.
