Coil Processing and Line Equipment

Brother Union designs and builds the full line around the roll former, including uncoilers and coil cars, levelers, mechanical and hydraulic punch presses with quick-change tooling, roller dies, cut-off systems, automatic stacking systems, and safety guarding.

Engineering Approach

Brother Union positions itself on quality rather than price, and states openly that its machines usually cost more than typical Chinese competitors. Its roll former bases have a machined top plate with keyways, so the forming stands are precisely aligned. The company designs roller tooling to balance forming forces across every station for even wear and longer tool life, and specializes in complex profiles and high-strength steels that need tight tolerances.

Service and Support

Brother Union engineers travel to the customer's factory to install and commission each line and train operators. For ongoing support, the company uses a remote connection system that lets its engineers monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot lines running in customer plants. Wear parts can be supplied from China or sourced locally under the guidance of Brother Union engineers.

Ordering a Custom Machine

To quote a custom line, Brother Union asks for the profile drawing, the coil specification including material type, thickness, yield strength, and width, any punching drawings, and other production requirements. If there's no drawing, photos of the part and the main requirements are enough to start. Its website is published in English, Russian, and Chinese.
