Not every profile fits a standard machine. Sometimes you need a custom roll forming machine built to your exact profile drawings, material thickness, and hole punching requirements.
Here is a step-by-step look at the full custom roll forming machine process.
Step 1: Submit Your Profile Drawing
The process begins with your profile drawing. This can be:
- A CAD file (DWG or DXF)
- A PDF with dimensions
- A physical sample (we can scan and digitize it)
Clearly mark:
- Profile cross-section dimensions
- Material thickness and type
- Hole punching positions and shapes
- Required length and speed
Step 2: Design and Engineering Review
Our engineering team reviews your requirements and:
- Analyzes forming feasibility
- Determines the number of forming passes needed
- Designs the roller layout and tooling
- Creates 3D models for your approval
We send you drawings for confirmation before manufacturing starts.
Step 3: Roller and Tooling Manufacturing
Once you approve the design, we begin production:
- Rollers are machined from high-grade steel
- Heat treatment and precision grinding ensure durability
- Roller hardness typically reaches HRC 56–62 for long life
Step 4: Machine Frame and Assembly
While rollers are being made, we build the machine frame:
- Heavy-duty steel structure
- PLC control cabinet assembly
- Hydraulic and electrical system installation
Step 5: Test Run and Quality Inspection
Before shipment, every custom machine goes through:
- A full assembly test
- Run with actual material (your requested thickness)
- Measurement of profile accuracy
- Punching and cutting test
- Final quality inspection
You receive test reports and videos for approval.
Step 6: Packing and Delivery
We pack your machine for international shipping:
- Strong steel frame or wooden crate
- Plastic wrapping for moisture protection
- Labeling for customs clearance
Shipping time to most countries is 30–45 days.
Step 7: Installation and After-Sales Support
After delivery, we provide:
- Installation drawings and video guides
- Remote support via online meetings
- On-site installation (if arranged)
Customization is Easier Than You Think
