    C Z Purlin Roll Forming Machine

    Normally, horizontal beams or bars called cee and z purlins are used to support steel structures. Xiamen Thrive brand purlin roll forming machine can produce C or Z purlins of various sizes automatically. Also known as a size interchangeable purlin roll forming machine or z purlin production machine, the Purlin Roll Forming Machine is the roll forming equipment which is used to produce steel z Perlin or c purlin. Additionally, the term "purlin" typically refers to roof framing components that run parallel to the building eave and support the roof decking or sheeting in the steel construction sector.

     

    Rafts or walls support the steel c purlins. Pre-punched purlins are easy to install and work with both insulated and non-insulated walls and roofs. So the span length and loads mostly determine the purlin's height and thickness.

    The following are some uses for C & Z purlin:

    1. Construction of industry

    2. Construction of halls and warehouses

    3. Extensions and renovations Farming projects

    CUZ Purlin Roll Forming Line 

    Thanks to good develop in roll forming technology, now there are automatic quick-change C and Z steel purlin roll forming machines. In actuality, these machines (like the Z-shaped steel purlins) are made to quick-change between forming C and Z shapes. Automatic Interchangeable U purlin roll forming machine, sometimes we call it PLC automatic purlin producing machine. This implies that one set purlin machine can precisely produce the flange and lip dimensions in addition to producing steel C purlins sizes.

     

    C purlin Production Line

    C shapes are commonly used to describe channel sections, whether or not they have flange stiffeners. Conversely, the channel without flange stiffeners are frequently called U shapes. Secondary elements such as girts for walls and purlins for roofs are commonly cold-formed into C, Z, or U sections, especially in the construction of steel buildings.

     

    Xiamen Thrive provides a variety of Purlin Roll Forming Machines, including roll forming machines that can create C, U Z purlins. Accuracy in manufacturing is ensured by good precise punching choices and changeable sizes range.

     

    CU Purlin machine

    The high performance 4mm C Purlin Machine is a roll forming machine specifically designed to create sturdy C-shaped purlins from metal sheets that are 4mm thick. In addition, the c purlin machine's sophisticated design makes manufacturing smooth and effective, so it can save producing time and increasing machine affection.

     

    Maintaining constant quality is one of the 4mm C Purlin Machine's best qualities. Our automated control systems of this machine allow for accurate modifications, guaranteeing that each purlin is produced according to precise requirements. In order to improve the purlins' structural integrity, good accuracy degree reduces material waste, and lowers manufacturing costs well. Additionally, because of their longevity, different sizes of purlins are perfect for a variety of structural uses, such as walls, roofs, and support beams in building.

     

    Except our technological prowess, the 4mm C Purlin Machine has noteworthy operating advantages. Manufacturers can achieve strict project deadlines without sacrificing quality thanks to its high-speed shaping capabilities, which increase production. Because of its sturdy design, the machine requires less maintenance, which lowers downtime and increases overall operational efficiency.

    Main Purpose and Characteristics

    This fully automatic purlin making machine actually uses the same set of forming rollers to manufacture all the sizes in the C and Z drawings for galvanized steel purlins plate types. The conversion of the C purlin specifications is entirely automatic (sometimes, need manual adjust a little), and the process is quick and easy. A human-computer interface, auxiliary electrical components, and an industrial PLC controls the system working. The production efficiency is high, adjusting different sizes only takes a few seconds, and the control system makes adjustments automatically as long as the parameters are entered on the screen.

      

    Roll Forming Line for Purlins

    Thickness of raw material: 2.0–3.0mm

    Waist height 40–80 mm, bottom width 80–300 mm are the input material widths.

    Raw material yield: 550 MPA

    Working speed of the production line: 25–30 m/min; machine power: 30 kW

     

    Machine Line Components:

    A servo feeding device, a punch machine with dies, a roll-forming machine part, a hydraulic cutting unit, an output table, a hydraulic oil pump, an electrical control cabinet, and other components will be integrated with this purlin making machine.

     

    Cutting Tool

    The gantry-style cutting mold structure is constructed as a single unit. Based on the input workpiece's length parameter, following lengthening with the encoder.

    The encoder will halt and cut off automatically after its length is established.

     

    (1)The hydraulic pre-cut is matched by machine.

    (2) The cutting blades are efficiently work for width range and universal used for all sizes.

    (3) Material for scissors: Cr12, quenched. The HRC of 58 to 62 degrees is the quenching hardness attained.

    (4) Before and after the shearing structure, install the material guide plate and the discharge steel strip to guarantee smooth material in and out.

     

    C and Z Purlin Roll Forming Machines: Chain Transmission vs. Gearbox

    Two varieties of C and Z Pearl and roll forming machines are what we wish to compare. 

    Type 1 multi-size CZ purlin machine, approximately 4mm thick, with a gearbox transmission.

    Type 2 chain-transmission CZ purlin machine in multiple sizes.

    Applications requiring great precision, stability, and working with thicker materials (such as 5mm) and where the production volume justifies the higher initial cost are better suited for Type 1 (Gearbox Transmission).


    For lighter-duty tasks, lesser budgets, or applications where cost-effectiveness is more important than thicker materials or great precision, Type 2 (Chain Transmission) is better suited.
