1. Machine Setup

Inspect the Machine – Check rollers, cutting blades, 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 ensure all safety features are operational.

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

2. Step-by-Step Operation

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

Setting the Parameters – Use the control panel to input the U-keel’s width, thickness, and length. Verify all settings before proceeding.

Initiating Roll Forming – Press Start, allowing the machine to progressively shape the steel into a U-profile keel. Monitor alignment and make adjustments if necessary.

Punching & Cutting Process – If required, the automated punching system creates holes for assembly, and the hydraulic cutter trims the keels to the programmed length. Ensure all cuts are precise and smooth.

3. Post-Production: Finishing & Maintenance

Quality Check – Inspect the finished U-keels for dimensional accuracy, smooth edges, and uniform shape.

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

Regular Maintenance – Lubricate rollers, check cutting blades for wear, and inspect electrical connections to ensure continuous and efficient operation.

By following these guidelines, you can achieve high-quality production and extend the lifespan of your U Shape Angle Steel Keel Roll Forming Machine.
