1. Machine Setup

Inspect the Machine – Before starting, check the rollers, cutters, electrical components, and fastening systems to ensure proper alignment and functionality.

Power & Safety Check – Connect the machine to the appropriate power source. Test the emergency stop function and confirm all safety features are active.

Material Preparation – Load the steel coil (galvanized, cold-rolled, or stainless steel) onto the decoiler. Adjust the guiding system for smooth and centered material flow.

2. Step-by-Step Operation

Feeding the Material – Guide the metal strip into the entry rollers, ensuring proper alignment to prevent deformities.

Setting the Parameters – Use the control panel to input the column's height, hole positioning, and bending specifications. Confirm settings before proceeding.

Initiating Roll Forming – Press Start, allowing the machine to progressively shape the metal into shelf columns. Monitor the process to ensure uniform formation.

Punching & Cutting Process – The automated punching system creates holes for assembly, and the hydraulic cutter trims the columns to the programmed length. Ensure cuts are clean and precise.

3. Post-Production: Finishing & Maintenance

Quality Check – Inspect the finished columns for dimensional accuracy, smooth edges, and correctly positioned holes.

Shutting Down – Turn off the machine, disconnect power, and remove metal shavings or debris from the rollers and work area.

Regular Maintenance – Lubricate rollers, check cutting blades for wear, and inspect electrical connections to maintain machine efficiency and longevity.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure high-quality production, reliable machine performance, and an extended lifespan for your Shelf Column Roll Forming Machine.
