product description

1. Product Overview

Our C channel keel roll forming machine is a fully automatic cold bending equipment specially developed for producing galvanized light steel C keels, widely applied in drywall partition, ceiling framework, interior decoration and prefabricated building projects. This C shape metal keel making machine adopts integrated PLC intelligent control, completing raw material uncoiling, continuous roll forming, hydraulic fixed-length cutting and automatic discharging in one single flow, realizing high-speed, stable and one-step molding of standard C channel keel profiles.

Different from traditional segmented processing equipment, this light steel C keel forming machine optimizes roller layout and hydraulic shearing structure, effectively solving common problems such as profile distortion, size deviation and surface scratch during keel production. The finished C keels processed by our galvanized C stud roll former feature flat surface, precise dimensional tolerance, uniform wall thickness and high structural strength, fully meeting national and international decoration steel keel standards.

2. Core Working Principle

The whole working flow of the C channel keel roll forming machine is fully automated without manual intervention:

1. Uncoiling: Galvanized steel strip is loaded on passive uncoiler, feeding raw material stably;
2. Leveling & Feeding: Multi-group straightening rollers flatten bent steel strip, servo motor controls accurate feeding length;
3. Continuous Cold Roll Forming: Tens of groups of high-hardness alloy forming rollers gradually bend flat steel into standard C cross-section profile;
4. Hydraulic Cutting: Servo tracking hydraulic cutter cuts finished keel at preset length without shutdown;
5. Automatic Output: Finished C keel products slide to material rack for neat collection.

All forming parameters of the C shape metal keel making machine can be set on the touch screen, supporting quick switching of multiple C keel specifications to satisfy diversified decoration production demands.

3. Main Structural Components & Advantages

3.1 Forming Roller Group

The core molding part of the light steel C keel forming machine uses Cr12MoV alloy steel rollers with quenching heat treatment, high wear resistance and long service life. Reasonable multi-pass bending design avoids metal internal stress, ensuring finished C stud without twisting or warping. Each roller position is adjustable, convenient for size replacement.

3.2 Hydraulic Cutting System

Equipped with high-pressure hydraulic station and flying tracking cutting head of the galvanized C stud roll former. It realizes dynamic cutting while the steel strip runs, no machine stop, greatly improving production efficiency. The cutting edge is sharp, with smooth keel end face, no burrs, and the cutting length error is controlled within ±0.5mm.

3.3 PLC Intelligent Control Cabinet

International brand PLC + touch screen control system for the C channel keel roll forming machine. Operators can input keel height, width, thickness, cutting length and production quantity directly on the screen. The system automatically counts output, alarms for material shortage and overload, supporting one-key start/stop, easy operation for new workers without professional training.

3.4 Heavy-duty Machine Base

Integrated cast steel base of the C shape metal keel making machine undergoes stress relief annealing, effectively reducing equipment vibration during high-speed operation, stabilizing molding precision and extending the whole machine service life. All transmission parts use thickened chain and gear drive, stable power output, low failure rate.
