Step Beam Roll Forming Machine With Ribbed Profile Precision, Clean Notch-Cut Coordination, And Quick Size Switching
These introductions refer only to the production line and configuration shown in the main image. Each machine is custom-built. Metalign welcomes your inquiry and provides the right production line—forming metal into profiles aligned to your needs.
1. Production Line Overview
- This production line is ideal for manufacturers in the heavy-duty shelving and industrial racking sectors. With a focus on precision and efficiency, it caters to medium-scale production, offering robust step beams that meet the demands of high-load applications in various storage systems.
2. Profile Description
- This step beam is made of 1.5-2.5mm thick steel, designed with reinforced ribs for added strength. It features a stepped shape, suitable for heavy-duty shelving and industrial racking applications. Its precision-formed structure ensures durability and ease of assembly, particularly in storage and shelving systems.
3. Production Process
- Hydraulic Decoiler → Leveler → Hydraulic Punching → Roll Forming Machine → Weld → Hydraulic cut
- The production line starts with a manual decoiler followed by material leveling and hydraulic pre-punching of notches. The material then passes through the chain-driven forming machine, with 28 stations ensuring precision. Spot welding strengthens the beams, and hydraulic cutting ensures clean, accurate cuts.
4. Key Focus
- Forming Process Supports Reinforced Structures, Meeting Step Beam Load Requirements
The 28-station forming rollers combined with a wall panel chain drive structure can accurately replicate the steps and reinforcement design, especially ideal for projects in the U.S. and European markets where beam deflection resistance is a critical design factor.
- Pre-punching and Cutting Combination Improves Cut Quality, Prevents Deformation
For materials with thicknesses between 1.5-2.5mm, direct cutting can cause tearing. By combining pre-punching notches with subsequent hydraulic cutting, clean, smooth cuts are achieved, reducing the need for deburring and ensuring precision.
- Flexible Switching Between Multiple Specifications, Quick Adjustment of Width and Height
The forming machine’s shifting mechanism allows for quick adjustments to produce Step Beams of different widths and step heights without extensive manual changes, making it suitable for small to medium batch production with multiple specifications.
- Mid-range Investment, Stable and Reliable, Ideal for Batch Orders and Continuous Supply
The process flow from leveling, punching, forming, spot welding, to cutting is stable, with controlled cycle times once the machine is properly set. This makes it well-suited for handling continuous supply orders from specific clients.
