Roller shutter doors (as axle pipes or winding tubes)
Traffic sign poles
Lighting or camera poles
Industrial tubing requiring strength and aesthetics
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
