The Metal Profile Stud and Track UD Roll Forming Machine for Drywall Steel Frame Making is a specialized piece of equipment that processes galvanized steel strip and other metal coils into U-shaped profiles using a continuous cold rolling forming process. The entire production line consists of core units including a raw material uncoiling support, a guiding feeding device, multiple sets of roll forming main units, a hydraulic shearing system, a PLC control system, and a finished product receiving platform.
During operation, the steel strip is fed into the feeding guiding device by the uncoiling machine and precisely guided into the forming zone by the positioning plate and guide rollers. The forming zone is typically equipped with 8 to 12 sets of roll forming units. Each set of rollers applies progressive cold bending deformation to the steel strip, gradually shaping the material from a flat strip into a precise U-shaped cross-section. Finally, the formed keel is precisely cut to the set length by a fully automatic hydraulic shearing system, resulting in a clean, burr-free cut that facilitates subsequent construction and installation. The entire process is automatically completed by the PLC computer control system; operators only need to set product parameters via a touchscreen for continuous automated production.

Application Scenarios: Behind-the-Scenes Support for Interior Decoration Projects
U-shaped light steel keels produced by U-shaped keel forming machines are key components of non-load-bearing interior building systems, widely used in various public and residential projects:
• Office Building and Office Building Partition Systems:
As the peripheral fixed keel of the partition system, U-shaped keels are used in conjunction with C-shaped vertical keels to form a complete light steel keel partition frame, providing reliable support for flexible partitioning of interior spaces.
• Ceiling Keel Frame:
In large-area ceiling projects such as commercial spaces, large and medium-sized shopping malls, supermarkets, and exhibition halls, U-shaped keels are used as edge keels or load-bearing keels, working in conjunction with T-shaped main keels and horizontal bracing keels to construct a flat and stable ceiling framework.
• Old Building Renovation and Interior Refurbishment:
Due to their light weight, fast construction, and dry operation, U-shaped keels are particularly suitable for interior renovation projects of existing buildings, significantly shortening the construction period and reducing construction waste.
• Prefabricated building components:
In the prefabricated building system, the demand for U-shaped keel as a supporting component for prefabricated wall panels and ceiling systems is steadily increasing.

Key Features: Precision, Efficiency, and Intelligence
1.Progressive cold bending ensures precision and material properties. The U-shaped keel forming machine employs a multi-pass, successive rolling design, allowing the steel strip to pass through each forming roller sequentially, gradually deforming from the center outwards. This process effectively avoids material cracking and dimensional springback caused by single, large-scale bending, resulting in high dimensional accuracy and good straightness of the finished product. The rollers are typically made of Cr12Mov mold steel, heat-treated and hard chrome-plated, achieving a hardness of HRC56-62°, strong wear resistance, long service life, and long-term maintenance of forming precision.

2.PLC intelligent control enables fully automated fixed-length production. The equipment is generally equipped with a PLC control system and frequency converter from brands such as Delta, combined with encoders for precise length measurement, achieving full automation from uncoiling and forming to fixed-length cutting. After operators set parameters such as length and quantity via a touchscreen, the equipment automatically completes the production task, achieving high cutting accuracy and low scrap rate. The main shaft is made of 40Cr solid round steel with a quenching and tempering treatment. The transmission system is mostly gearbox or high-strength chain drive, ensuring smooth operation and strong load-bearing capacity.

3.The structure is robust and the operation is stable. The machine frame is welded from high-strength steel and tempered to effectively eliminate internal stress and ensure no deformation during long-term use. The forming frame is mostly made of cast iron, providing good vibration resistance and adapting to long-term continuous production conditions. The production speed is generally 10-20 meters/minute, with some high-performance models reaching over 30 meters/minute, balancing efficiency and stability. The machine can process thicknesses typically ranging from 0.3-1.2mm, and is compatible with various raw materials such as galvanized steel sheets, color steel sheets, and aluminum sheets.
