Series F Panel Roll Forming Machine

The Series F Panel Roll Forming Machine is a through-spindle model and was built especially for a product that has a variety of overall widths, such as drywall studs and door panels.  This model has three outstanding features that distinguish it from previous panel mills.   

  • First, with the use of solid telescoping spindles and a fully supported heavy outboard housing, you can obtain an enormous strength advantage over conventional, unsupported, overhung stub-type machines.
  • Second, width changes can be obtained simply by a turn of a crank or the push of a button.  This can reduce tooling changeover time to minutes (the Series F Panel Mill can be made with one or both sides adjustable).
  • The third feature is lower cost.  Since this model has only one bank of drive housings, versus the two banks required for the old design panel mill, this model is much less expensive.
 

Specifications:

Our self-contained drive stands, with individual oil supplies, permit quick removal and rearrangement of units without having to drain oil from all units.  Double bearing support on both top and bottom spindles of the drive unit, gives
added rigidity and lasting alignment.  The individual worm shaft drive features chain-type  couplings for linking units together.  Worm gears are made of high-quality gear bronze for longer life.

Gearing arrangement keeps the gear train in mesh through a complete range of vertical shaft adjustments for different roll diameters.  Roll spindles and worm shafts are precision machined and ground from high-quality carburized and hardened steel, providing a hard, wear-resistant outer case and an extremely tough core for increased life and lasting accuracy.  Outboard housings are positioned along the length of the roll spindles.

The machine base is an all-steel cabinet-type base, rigid, with welded construction.

There is a full-length “jog” cord for feed-up or threading of the machine.
The machine can be painted in a variety of colors.

Optional Features:


Extra base length is available, as part of the original equipment, to increase machine capacity at a future date.   To further improve any roll forming operation, a complete line of auxiliary items is available, such as adjustable entry tables, adjustable side roll stands, and straightener units.
