Automatic Transverse CZ Type Steel Roll Forming Machine

Availability:
Quantity:

An Automatic Transverse CZ-Type Steel Roll Forming Machine refers to a roll forming line designed to manufacture C-purlins and Z-purlins (or similar channel shapes) with features that allow automatic/quick size changes, profile type interchange (C ↔ Z), punching/cutting, etc.

What It Is / What It Does

This machine processes flat strip metal (steel, galvanized steel, etc.) and produces structural channel profiles (“C” and “Z”). Key functions:

 

1.Decoiling: Unwinding coil of steel.

 

2.Leveling / Straightening: Remove curvature or coil set so the strip is flat before forming.

 

3.Feeding & Guiding: To properly align the strip into the roll forming stations.

 

4.Roll Forming: Series of rollers gradually bend the strip into the desired web, flange, lip to make “C” or “Z” shapes.

 

5.Punching / Perforation: Make holes, slots in web or flanges (for bolts, fasteners) either before or after forming.

 

6.Cutting / Shearing (Transverse Cut): Cut the formed profile to length. Could be a hydraulic shear, flying shear, or similar.

 

7.Automatic Profile Interchange / Size Change: Ability to switch between different profile sizes or types (C vs Z) quickly with little or no manual adjustment. Might involve adjustable rollers, cassette systems, etc.

 

8.Control System: PLC/HMI to set parameters (length, count, punching positions), monitor operations, automate adjustments.

 

9. Output / Table / Stacking: For collection of cut pieces, stacking or packaging.

From real examples, here are what automatic transverse CZ-type roll forming machines tend to offer. These give you a sense of what “good” looks like.


Parameter

Typical Values / Range

Material thickness

~1.0 mm up to around 4.5 mm depending on structural requirements. E.g. one FX450 model handles up to 4.5 mm thickness.

Web / flange / lip size / profile range

Web widths (C-profile) from ~80–350 mm,Z from ~120–350 mm in many machines.

Forming Speed

Often in the range of ~ 15–35 m/min (depending on thickness,punching/cutting actions). Without punching/cutting,speed might be higher.

Roller / Shaft materials &steps

Hardened steel rollers (e.g. Cr-12,GCr15),shafts often 40Cr with quenching &tempering. Number of roller stands (steps) ~15-26 or more in fully automatic/high speed machines.

Cutting &Punching

Hydraulic punching,pre- or post-forming;hydraulic or servo-controlled cutting. Transverse cut (“shear”) to length. Some flying cut (non-stop cutting) in high speed models.

Profile Interchange / Size Change

Automatic or quick interchange between C &Z profiles;some machines can change widths,lip/flange sizes via PLC or servo,or cassette type modules;changeover time in some models ~5–15 minutes for typical size changes.

Power / Drive System

Drive by gearboxes or chains;main motors power the forming,auxiliary motors for cutting/punching. Example:22-30 kW motors common in 1.0-3.0 mm machines.

Tolerance / Accuracy

Cutting &punching positional tolerances typically a few mm (e.g.,+/-1-3mm) depending on machine.

The Automatic Transverse CZ Type Steel Roll Forming Machine has a wide range of industrial and construction applications, mainly related to steel structure fabrication. Below is a detailed explanation of its applications, industries served, and the benefits it provides in each.

 

A. Steel Structure Buildings

Used to produce C and Z purlins, which are the main structural members in steel frame buildings.

These purlins act as horizontal supports for roof panels and wall claddings.

Widely used in:

  • Factories

  • Warehouses

  • Workshops

  • Industrial sheds

  • Logistics centers

 

B. Solar Panel Mounting Systems (Photovoltaic Structures)

CZ purlins serve as support beams or mounting rails in solar photovoltaic (PV) structures.

Their strength-to-weight ratio and ease of installation make them ideal for solar farm frameworks and roof-mounted solar supports.

C. Prefabricated & Modular Buildings

Used for lightweight steel frameworks in modular homes, portable cabins, and prefab offices.

The machine’s automated size adjustment helps produce custom-length purlins efficiently for modular assembly.

 

D. Infrastructure & Public Projects

C/Z sections produced are used in:

  • Highway guardrails

  • Bridges and sheds

  • Airport terminals

  • Bus stations

  • Railway stations

 

E. Industrial Shelving and Racking Systems

Roll-formed CZ sections are also applied in storage racks, shelving, and logistics equipment due to their high load-bearing capacity.
