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 correct power source. Test the emergency stop function and verify that 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 accurate material feeding.

2. Step-by-Step Operation

Feeding the Material – Carefully feed the metal strip into the entry rollers, ensuring proper alignment to avoid deformities.

Setting the Parameters – Use the control panel to set the keel’s width, thickness, and length. Confirm all settings before starting the process.

Initiating Roll Forming – Press Start, allowing the machine to progressively shape the steel into an Omega profile keel. Monitor for consistency and make adjustments if necessary.

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

3. Post-Production: Finishing & Maintenance

Quality Check – Inspect the finished Omega 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 maintain optimal machine performance.

By following these guidelines, you ensure high-quality production, smooth operation, and an extended lifespan for your Omega Shape Keel Roll Forming Machine.
