Linbay offers the strut channel forming machine, this profile is used for the transport of cargo in industrial and commercial environments, it can also be found in the installation of lighting systems, support of trays for cables and pipes.

The machine has a speed from 10m/min to 25m/min, with the option of using the machine up to 40m/min by combining the forming machine with a die-cutter that can reach up to 50m/min. All depending on your needs we will be able to provide you with the best option. On this machine we can produce up to 5 different sizes (41mm x 21mm, 41mm x 41mm, 41mm x 62mm or 27mm x 18mm, 27mm x 30mm). On the other hand, the configuration of (4 ̈X4 ̈, 4 ̈X2 ̈) can also be produced, being one of the most used profiles currently in Mexico, USA, Peru, Pakistan and Argentina. In order to be able to produce the different sizes in the same machine we can provide you with different options:

1-Self-regulating change, with the help of a servo motor we can change the opening of the rollers, this process being practical, safe and precise. This process can be done from the screen of our electrical cabinet, making the measurement change in less than a minute.

2-You can choose to make a manual change, which consists of changing the spacers between the rollers of the upper and lower part of the former, thus changing the dimensions of our profile.

3-If you are looking to only work with two sizes 4 ̈X4 ̈, 4 ̈X2, you can offer the configuration of having 2 lines on the same machine, in which only one line can be operated at a time, but it is no longer necessary to make any changes within the former.
For this profile you can work with galvanized steel, PPGI and carbon steel with a thickness from 1.5mm to 2.5mm (Gauge 12 to 16), this can be modified to your needs.

If you are looking to create a design that is different from the current market, our team can help you make it possible by knowing your standards and requirements, thus offering you the different options that are most suitable for your company.
All our operating systems are translated into Spanish and English, as are the operating manuals, so that your work team can operate the machine efficiently and safely.

Strut channels are commonly made of galvanized steel with the thickness of 1.5-2.0mm, 2.0-2.5mm or stainless steel with the thickness of 1.5-2.0mm. They are designed with regularly spaced holes or slots along the length of the channel, allowing for easy attachment of bolts, nuts, or other fasteners.

A production line equipped with automatic size changement is suitable for manufacturing demands of two or more sizes, such as common sizes like 41*41, 41*21, 41*52, 41*62, 41*72, 41*82mm. The higher the height of the strut channel, the more forming stations there are, and consequently, the price of the roll forming machine will increase accordingly.

Hydraulic decoiler with leveler

This type of decoiler is also known as a "2in1 decoiler and leveler". Its compact design can save up to approximately 3 meters of production line space, reducing factory land costs for our clients. Furthermore, the reduced distance between the decoiler and leveler minimizes setup difficulties, making coil feeding and operation more convenient.

Servo Feeder & Punch Press

The servo motor operates with virtually no start-stop time delay, allowing precise control of the coil's feed length for accurate punching. Internally, pneumatic feeding in the feeder effectively protects the coil surface from abrasion.

Typically, the hole spacing of the strut channel is 50mm, with a punching pitch of 300mm. Compared to hydraulic punch machines of equivalent punching force, the punch press achieves a faster punching rate of approximately 70 times per minute.

While initial investment costs for punch presses might be higher than hydraulic punches, they can provide better long-term cost-effectiveness, especially for high-volume production. Additionally, maintenance costs for punch presses might be lower due to simpler mechanical components.

We have chosen Yangli brand punch press from China as our primary and long-term selection because Yangli has multiple offices worldwide, providing timely after-sales support and service to our clients.

Guiding

Guiding rollers ensure that the coil and the machine are aligned along the same centerline, guaranteeing that the coil remains undistorted during the forming process.

Roll forming machine

This forming machine utilizes a cast-iron structure and gearbox driving system. The steel coil will pass through a total of 28 forming stations, undergoing deformation until it matches the drawings.

After workers set the dimensions on the PLC control panel, the forming stations of the roll forming machine will automatically adjust to the correct positions, with the forming point moving along with the movement of the rollers.

For safety during the movement of forming stations, two distance sensors are placed on both the left and right sides, corresponding to the outermost and innermost positions that the forming stations can be moved to. The sensors detect the base of the forming stations. The innermost sensor prevents the forming stations from getting too close and causing roller collisions, while the outermost sensor prevents the forming station from disengaging from the rails and falling.

The surface of the forming rollers is chrome-plated to protect it and extend the rollers' lifespan.

Flying hydraulic cut

The base of the cutting machine can move back and forth on the track, allowing the steel coil to continuously advance through the roll forming machine. The roll forming machine doesn’t need to stop, thus increasing the overall speed of the production line.

The cutting blade molds match the shape of the corresponding profiles. Therefore, each size requires an independent set of cutting blade molds.

1. Q: Why buy a Linbay machine?

    A: At Linbay we seek to establish long-lasting relationships by offering the best quality and price, as well as unparalleled experience and attention in the market. We have customer service in Mexico and China to solve any questions or inconveniences, backed by our 12 years of experience in the market.

2. Q: What is the delivery time?

    A: The lead time is 60 to 80 days, during which we produce, assemble and test to ensure that the machine meets your expectations and required safety standards.

3. Q: How do I get started with my machine?

    A: Upon receipt of your machine, an assembly tutorial and operation manual will be provided. We recommend a visit from our technician if this is your first time using a forming machine or if you have doubts about its operation. The technician will explain every detail and train your work team.

4. Q: What process do I need to follow to buy a machine?

    A: You can start by contacting our sales team via message or email. Afterwards, we will discuss which type of machine best fits your needs and standards. If you want to know more about our company, you can visit our office in Mexico or our factory in China for a tour and observe our manufacturing process. Once you decide to join the Linbay family, we will start manufacturing your machine after signing the contracts and making a 30% down payment.

5. Q: What determines the speed of the forming machine?

    A: The speed depends on the requirements of your profile, as well as the structure of the machine you can choose between panel, forged steel and Torri which gives us greater stability. If the gearbox-type transmission system is chosen, we will improve its performance and increase the speed of the system. If your profile must be perforated, the best option is to use a die-cutter, with which our speed can be higher. Finally, choose what type of cut we want, fixed hydraulic cut or hydraulic cut with movable base in which the base will move with the material, cutting precisely and without reducing speed.
