A stud and track roll former is a sophisticated, automated machine that crafts metal studs and tracks for construction, transforming flat metal sheets into precise, lightweight C-shaped studs and U-shaped tracks. By employing a series of meticulously engineered steel rollers, these machines shape galvanized steel with remarkable accuracy, delivering components tailored to specific dimensions and gauges with exceptional speed and consistency.How a Stud and Track Roll Former Operates
- Material Feeding: The process starts as a continuous sheet of metal, typically 20 to 26 gauge galvanized steel, is smoothly fed into the machine.
- Roll Forming: The sheet travels through a sequence of robust, precision-crafted rollers arranged in stations. Each station incrementally molds the metal, gradually sculpting it into the desired profile.
- Profile Shaping: Through this seamless, continuous process, the flat sheet is transformed into either a C-shaped stud or a U-shaped track, depending on the machine’s configuration.
- Precision Cutting: As the formed profile exits, a high-speed flying shear cuts it to exact lengths, ensuring components meet stringent tolerance standards.
Applications
- Steel Framing: These machines are essential for producing steel framing components used in partition walls and interior structures, providing strength and reliability.
- Construction Projects: The resulting studs and tracks form the backbone of structural frameworks for walls, ceilings, and other building elements, ensuring durability and precision.
- Specialized Builds: From construction sites to intricate interior design projects, these components are critical for applications demanding consistent, high-quality steel framing.
Key Advantages
- Rapid Production: Capable of producing up to 120 meters per minute, these machines are a cornerstone for stud suppliers, enabling efficient, high-volume output.
- Uncompromising Precision: Equipped with advanced features like precision flying shears and automated thickness control, they deliver uniform, high-tolerance components every time.
- Adaptable Design: Many roll formers allow quick profile adjustments without tooling changes, offering flexibility to produce a range of stud and track sizes to meet diverse project needs.
components of Stud And Track Roll Forming Machine
Machine Body Frame: Crafted with precision, the frame is constructed from welded steel plates and meticulously processed using a CNC machining center, ensuring robust structural integrity and flawless alignment.
Rollers: Forged from high-grade Cr12MoV steel, the rollers undergo vacuum quenching heat treatment for superior durability. After precision grinding of the inner bore and end faces, a CNC lathe refines the roller surfaces to achieve exceptional smoothness and accuracy.
Shafts: Made from premium 40Cr steel, the shafts are subjected to quenching and tempering heat treatment, followed by hard chrome plating and external grinding. This process ensures outstanding strength, wear resistance, and a polished finish.
Shaft Dimensions: With a diameter of 60mm, the shafts are precision-machined to deliver consistent performance and seamless integration with the machine’s components.
Drive System: Powered by a gear/sprocket mechanism, the system features approximately 14 forming steps, enabling precise and efficient shaping of materials.
Main Motor: Equipped with an 18.5KW Polaroid-brand motor, the machine offers reliable, high-performance operation with frequency speed control for smooth and adaptable production.
This advanced engineering ensures the machine delivers unmatched precision, durability, and efficiency, tailored to meet the demands of high-quality manufacturing.
