1. Definition
A drawer slide / bead-rail production set forms telescopic furniture drawer rails by cold roll forming. The reference layout is not a single mill: it combines an inner-rail line, an outer-rail line, a bead-filling unit, and a riveting press.
Industry suppliers likewise describe separate outside / middle / inner rail machines for a complete slide set — do not treat “drawer slide machine” as one host that covers every rail member. It is not a rack upright or beam line.
2. Process outline
Per rail line the typical sequence is:
- Decoil (simple manual decoiler class)
- Entry guide
- Roll form to the rail section
- Straighten
- Mechanical press for final cut / finish
Bead fill and riveting follow as separate stations for assembled bead rails — they are not embedded in the forming-stand count.
3. Technical parameters
| Item | Reference |
|---|---|
| Inner rail section | ~18.2 × 7.72 mm |
| Outer rail section | ~27 × 8.7 mm |
| Strip thickness | ~1.25 mm (Q235 band) |
| Max coil width | ~35 mm |
| Output | ~25 pcs/min per rail line; length by customer (example ~500 mm) |
| Inner / outer forming | ~10 stands each; drive ~AC 3 kW; line total ~6 kW (up to final design); shaft ~φ58; rollers Cr12, HRC60–62 |
| Finish press | ~18 t mechanical; cut ~1–2 mm; length tol. ~±2 mm; ~3 kW; dies Cr12/D2 class |
| Bead fill drive | ~AC 0.5 kW class |
| Decoiler | Simple manual decoiler (reference) |
Do not publish one “total plant kW” by adding every unit without stating what is included. Market m/min bands for other slide profiles are industry context only — keep pcs/min and section sizes from the confirmed proposal.
4. Line units
- Inner-rail forming line (~10 stands)
- Outer-rail forming line (~10 stands; same output class)
- Bead-filling machine
- Riveting press
- Electrical controls for each unit
5. Related machines
- Rack upright / beam lines — warehouse racking family; different sections, stands, and power
- Cabinet rail / drawer-side lines — may share furniture wording but keep separate drawings
- Three-member slide sets (outside / middle / inner) on some market pages — confirm which members you actually need
6. Applications
- Furniture / cabinet drawer bead rails (inner + outer)
- Continuous cold-formed Q235 strip for telescopic slide hardware
7. Inquiry checklist
- Inner and outer section drawings (or confirm 18.2×7.72 / 27×8.7 class)
- Strip grade, thickness, and max coil width
- Piece length range and tolerance
- Whether bead fill and rivet press are inside the quote
- Confirm not a rack upright / beam RFQ
8. Buyer FAQ
Is one host enough for inner and outer rails?
No. Inner and outer are two forming lines with similar station counts; quote them as a set plus bead fill and rivet press.
Can I use rack upright parameters?
No. Upright/beam lines belong to a different machine family.
What material is the reference?
Q235 steel strip at about 1.25 mm thickness for the recommended section set.
Is plant total kW simply 6 + 6 + 0.5 + 3?
Do not invent a single plant total without listing included units. Publish each unit’s band, then sum only what the proposal scopes.
Final ratings follow the named proposal. Price and lead time are out of scope.
