    1. Cold-formed framing, not a steelworks

    Frame making machines in this plant are roll formers that punch and form light-gauge studs, tracks, and villa C members from coil. They are not an EAF, not a hot I/H mill, and not a C/Z purlin line for PEB secondary. The cold-vs-hot wiki already splits warehouse purlin vs hot I-beam.

    2. Named LGS / stud hosts

    BuildSection / gaugeIron on that quotation
    MF-2500T villa LGSWeb 89–250 mm; lip 10; flange 41 fixed; 0.8–2.0 mm G350/G550 / Dx51d19 stands; servo 22 kW; 0–35 m/min; hyd punch ±1 mm, 4 straight dies; hyd stop cut; hyd 11 kW / 200 L; 6 t hyd decoil; 380 V/50 Hz
    High-speed stud & track0.39–0.81 mm GI; small lip; web dimplesCast 4+16; Φ70 GCr12; 5 punch + cut; mill to 70 m/min; 3 t dual-head decoiler; inkjet + PP stack; 380 V/50 Hz
    U-stud host A0.8 mm GI; webs 66 & 107 with twin ribs15 stands Φ50; 5.5+5.5 kW; 0–40 m/min; straightener; servo tracking punch/shear 7.5 kW; 2 t single-side hyd decoil; 380 V/50 Hz. Sibling: 11 stands / 7.5 kW / shear 5.5 kW

    Drywall C50/75/100 class on the furring-vs-stud encyclopedia is about 15–20 m/min and ~5.5 + 5.5 kW — a partition mill, not MF-2500T.

    3. Purlin, furring, hot I

    • C/Z purlin — heavier secondary, hydraulic punch before form; see purlin encyclopedias
    • Furring / hat — ceiling secondary, φ40 class
    • Hot-rolled frame columns — shape mill

    4. Assembly holes decide the mill

    1. Villa adjustable web vs fixed drywall C vs U track
    2. Dimples, service holes, inkjet, PP strap
    3. Auto size / auto thickness (vertical rolls on MF-2500T)
    4. Speed: 35, 70 and 40 m/min are three different hosts

    5. Buyer FAQ

    Is a stud mill a frame-making machine?

    Yes, for light-gauge walls. Villa LGS is the thicker, wider, punched cousin.

    Can I copy 22 kW from villa onto high-speed stud?

    No. Stud host power is not that 22 kW servo. Stud is quoted to 70 m/min with five punches.

    Does CUZ purlin make house frames?

    CUZ is C/U/Z purlin. Different hole family and gauge band.

    22 kW villa, 70 m/min stud, and 5.5+5.5 kW U-stud are three quotations. Commercial terms come back on the offer.
