1. Machine Setup

Inspect the Machine – Check all components, including rollers, cutting system, electrical connections, and fasteners, to ensure everything is aligned and in good working condition.

Power & Safety Check – Connect the machine to the correct power supply. Test the emergency stop function and verify that all safety features are fully operational.

Material Preparation – Load the steel coil (galvanized steel, pre-painted steel, or aluminum) onto the decoiler. Adjust the guiding system to ensure smooth material feeding and proper alignment during the forming process.

2. Step-by-Step Operation

Feeding the Material – Carefully feed the metal coil into the entry rollers, ensuring proper alignment to avoid any misformation or defects.

Setting the Parameters – Use the control panel to input the desired width, thickness, and length for the ridge caps. Ensure the ridge cap profile is configured correctly before starting the process.

Initiating Roll Forming – Press Start, allowing the machine to progressively shape the steel into a ridge cap profile. Ensure the material is aligned properly and monitor the process to prevent any deformation.

Cutting Process – The hydraulic or mechanical cutter will automatically trim the ridge caps to the programmed length. Ensure the cuts are clean, precise, and free of burrs.

3. Post-Production: Finishing & Maintenance

Quality Check – Inspect the finished ridge caps for dimensional accuracy, smooth edges, and uniformity. Ensure the caps are free from defects and have a uniform profile.

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

Regular Maintenance – Lubricate the rollers, check cutting blades for wear, and inspect the electrical and hydraulic systems regularly to ensure consistent performance and machine longevity.

By following these instructions, you will ensure efficient production, high-quality output, and prolonged service life of your Ridge Cap Roll Forming Machine.
