Roll form machine for snaplock standing seam panel

The Snaplock Standing Seam Panel Roll Forming Machine (SLP-1 Auto) represents the cutting edge of roofing panel production. It is specifically designed to produce click-seam panels with precision and efficiency. This machine integrates side punching capabilities and advanced automation, ensuring high-quality output while minimizing labor efforts.

Machine Description

The SLP-1 Auto is engineered to produce click-seam panels with fixation holes and side-part cuts. Its unique side punching mechanism allows the edges of the panels to be bent and seamlessly joined to roof elements. The fully automated system streamlines the production process, requiring minimal manual intervention.

Production Workflow:

1. The operator feeds the metal roll into the pulling rollers.
2. Two pneumatic punching presses make side cuts on the panels.
3. The metal advances through rolling rollers, forming the roofing panel profile while cutting fixation holes with specialized cutting tools.
4. An automatic shear at the end of the machine cuts the panel to the desired length.

The machine’s design ensures that side cuts are performed at the beginning of the process and the final shear only cuts flat sections of the panel. This method enhances panel quality, avoiding deformations often caused by guillotine shears cutting through profiled sections.
