An octagonal pipe roll forming machine is a specialized roll forming line used to produce octagonal-shaped pipes, commonly used in:

Roller shutter doors (as axle pipes or winding tubes)

Traffic sign poles

Lighting or camera poles

Industrial tubing requiring strength and aesthetics


Key Features:

1.Profile Shape

It produces 8-sided (octagonal) pipe profiles, typically from galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.

2.Forming Process

Starts with a metal coil which passes through a series of roll forming stations that gradually shape the strip into an octagonal pipe without welding.

3.Cutting System

Uses hydraulic or flying shear to cut the pipe to desired lengths.

4.High Precision

The machine ensures tight tolerances and a clean shape, often needed for rotating or telescoping use in door shafts

5.Control System

Operated via PLC control with touchscreen HMI for setting parameters like pipe length, cutting quantity, and line speed.

This machine is highly efficient, ideal for mass production, and often found in the shutter door and security grille manufacturing industries.

How to Maintain the Octagonal Pipe Roll Forming Machine


Proper maintenance of an octagonal pipe roll forming machine ensures smooth operation, extends its life, and maintains product quality. Here's a practical maintenance checklist:

Daily Maintenance

1.Clean the Machine

Wipe dust, metal shavings, and oil off all surfaces.

Keep rollers free from debris to avoid profile defects.

2. Check Lubrication

Ensure chains, gears, and bearings are properly lubricated.

Top up oil in hydraulic systems as needed.

3.Inspect Fasteners

Tighten any loose bolts or nuts, especially near forming stands and drive shafts.


Weekly Maintenance

1.Roller Inspection

Check rollers for wear, scratches, or misalignment.

Clean hardened residue with non-corrosive solvents.

2.Hydraulic System

Look for leaks in pipes and cylinders.

Inspect oil color; if it’s dark or milky, consider replacing it.


Monthly Maintenance

1.Electrical Components

Inspect sensors, control panels, and cables for damage or wear.

Clean fan filters and ensure proper ventilation.

2.Alignment & Calibration

Verify shaft and roller alignment to avoid shape distortion.

Calibrate length measuring systems and cutting accuracy.


Annual Maintenance

1.Replace Worn Parts

Change oil seals, belts, or bearings showing wear.

Recoat or polish rollers if corrosion appears.

Following this routine helps prevent downtime and ensures consistent octagonal pipe quality.
