3. Main Structure & Components
The machine is composed of 7 core components, each with strict quality control to ensure stable operation and long service life:
3.1 Uncoiler
Equipped with a hydraulic expansion uncoiler, with a maximum coil loading capacity of 5 tons. It is equipped with a coil centering device and a tension control system to prevent coil deviation during feeding, ensuring smooth and stable material supply. The uncoiler can be adjusted according to the diameter of the raw material coil, adapting to different coil specifications.
3.2 Leveling Device
Adopts a multi-roller leveling mechanism (12-16 rollers), made of high-quality carbon steel with quenching treatment, which can effectively eliminate the internal stress of the metal coil, correct the deformation of the sheet, and ensure the flatness of the material before forming. The leveling roller spacing is adjustable, suitable for different thicknesses of metal sheets.
3.3 Roll Forming Unit
The core part of the machine, composed of 16-24 groups of forming rollers (depending on the panel profile). The rollers are made of 45# steel,经过 carburizing, quenching, and grinding treatment, with a hardness of HRC58-62, ensuring wear resistance and long service life. The forming rollers are designed with precise CAD drawings, and the forming process is scientific and reasonable, ensuring that the formed panel has a smooth surface, uniform size, and no scratches.
3.4 Cutting Device
Optional hydraulic or mechanical cutting, with high cutting precision (error ≤±0.5mm). The cutting knife is made of high-speed steel, sharp and durable, and can cut the formed panel quickly and smoothly without burrs. The cutting length can be set freely through the touch screen, and the machine will automatically cut according to the set length, realizing automatic counting and cutting.
3.5 PLC Control System
Adopts imported or domestic high-quality PLC controller (Mitsubishi/Siemens/Delta optional) with a 7-inch or 10-inch touch screen, easy to operate. The control system integrates functions such as automatic feeding, leveling, forming, cutting, counting, and fault alarm. It can store multiple sets of profile parameters, which is convenient for switching between different products. In case of equipment failure, the system will automatically alarm and display the fault point, facilitating maintenance.
3.6 Transmission System
Adopts a frequency conversion speed regulation system, with stepless speed adjustment, which can adjust the forming speed according to the production needs. The transmission shaft is made of high-quality alloy steel, with precise processing and stable transmission, ensuring that the speed of each forming roller is consistent, avoiding panel deformation caused by speed inconsistency.
3.7 Frame Structure
The frame is made of thickened rectangular steel pipe, welded by robot, with high strength and good stability, preventing the machine from shaking during operation. The surface of the frame is treated with shot blasting and electrostatic spraying, which is anti-corrosion and anti-rust, suitable for long-term use in industrial environments.
4. Working Process
The working process of the corner rib panel roll forming machine is fully automatic, with simple operation and high efficiency, and the specific steps are as follows:
- Uncoiling: Place the metal coil on the uncoiler, fix it with the hydraulic expansion device, and adjust the centering device to ensure that the coil is aligned with the feeding direction.
- Leveling: The metal sheet is fed into the leveling device, and the multi-roller leveling mechanism corrects the sheet to make it flat and free of deformation.
- Roll Forming: The flattened sheet is fed into the roll forming unit, and through the step-by-step forming of multiple groups of forming rollers, the sheet is gradually formed into the required corner rib panel profile.
- Cutting: When the formed panel reaches the set length, the PLC control system sends a signal, and the cutting device automatically cuts the panel, and the counting system records the number of finished products.
- Output: The cut finished panels are conveyed to the discharge table through the conveyor belt, and the operator can directly collect and stack them.
The entire working process can be completed with only 1-2 operators, greatly reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.

Advantages of Roll Forming A Metal Part
There are several advantages of using roll forming for your projects:
- The roll forming process allows operations such as punching, notching, and welding to be performed in-line. Labor cost and time for secondary operations are reduced or eliminated, reducing part costs.
- Roll form tooling allows for a high degree of flexibility. A single set of roll form tools will make almost any length of the same cross-section. Multiple sets of tools for varying length parts are not required.
- It can provide better dimensional control than other competing metal forming processes.
- Repeatability is inherent in the process, allowing easier assembly of roll formed parts into your finished product, and minimizing problems due to “standard” tolerance build up.
- Roll forming is typically a higher speed process.
- Roll forming offers customers a superior surface finish. This makes roll forming an excellent option for decorative stainless steel parts or for parts requiring a finish such as anodizing or powder coating. Also, texture or pattern can be rolled into the surface during forming.
- Roll forming utilizes material more efficiently than other competing processes.
- Roll formed shapes can be developed with thinner walls than competing processes
Roll forming is a continuous process which converts sheet metal into an engineered shape using consecutive sets of mated rolls, each of which makes only incremental changes in the form. The sum of these small changes in form is a complex profile.
