DESCRIPTION OF AUTOMATIC ROLL FORMING MACHINE FOR DRYWALL
The machine, compliant with CE regulations, consists of an electro-welded and painted base on which the motorized profiling roller line is housed and controlled by a PLC via an encoder, a motorized unwinder, a tape centering system, a hydraulic power unit, a hydraulic system, a lubrication system, hydraulic units for cutting profiles, hydraulic units for creating holes, a straightening and flattening unit to correct any profile deformations, an electrical panel, a PLC with software to manage and optimize the workflow, and a sensor system to monitor the machine’s operation. The profiler is separately managed by a PLC that can also be controlled remotely. The profiler can accommodate additional hydraulic units if other profile operations are required.
Based on the feasibility study conducted, the workflow sequence is as follows:
You need to input data for rod processing into the PLC, such as length, the type of profile to be created, and the desired quantity, and then start automatic production. Alternatively, the machine can also work based on a manually entered or remotely transmitted cutting list, making the production system autonomous.
The machine is designed for coil processing, which is loaded onto the motorized unwinder (maximum capacity of 2 tons), equipped with a clutch and inverter to smoothly follow the profile’s path and adjust the operating speed.
The tape then passes through the centering system, which allows the rollers to profile it accurately, adjusting its position relative to the center of the rollers if necessary. At the exit of the profiler, there is a straightening unit that corrects any undesired profile deformations, ensuring a consistently sized product. Through the hydraulic unit, it is also possible to create holes in the profile.
Finally, the profile is cut by the dedicated cutting unit. Standard cutting includes an advancement stop, but optionally, a flying cut can be requested to further reduce the cycle time. At the machine’s exit, there is a table with a pneumatic slide that receives the profile and unloads it into the product collection area.
The machine is also equipped with photocells that monitor the actual profile production and active and passive safety systems to comply with safety regulations. Production data is stored in real-time, so if the tape runs out, the profiler stops and communicates the emergency. When production is resumed, it continues from the last completed profile, completing the previously set production cycle.
The profiler consists of motorized rollers controlled by feedback via encoders to ensure a precision of +/- 0.5mm.
The machine allows for the interchangeability of roll forming lines to easily replace the entire profiling line, minimizing downtime.
Through the PLC, with optional software (Industry 4.0), it is possible to monitor production data and the machine’s operational status in real-time on your computer.
Active and passive safety measures protect the operator during operation, certifying the CE marking, making the machine compliant with Italian and European legal requirements.
