Villa Light-Gauge Steel Frame Roll Forming Line

1. Definition

A villa light-gauge steel frame roll forming line produces thicker C-class frame members for prefabricated houses and low-rise steel villas — with multi-station assembly punching (service holes, notches, bolt holes, etc.).

Optional design software (e.g. Vertex class) may drive the punch map. It is not a gypsum-partition C50/75/100 stud mill.

2. Typical process flow

1. Decoil (example capacity about 3 t; ID about 450–550 mm)
2. Multi-station hydraulic punching (~6 die sets on the documented package — side / honeycomb / square / cable slots per drawing)
3. Roll form the C frame
4. Hydraulic cut-to-length
5. Exit (optional inkjet marking)

3. Technical parameters (C140 class reference)

Self-check: Market C140 LGS pages often cite 0.75–1.5 mm and higher servo kW — competitor context only; do not overwrite the documented 0.7–1.4 / 5.5 kW class above.

4. Related machines

• Drywall C wall stud — thinner, different punch system
• CU combined partition — interior stud/track, not villa assembly members
• Structural C/Z purlin — steel-building secondary framing, different duty

5. Inquiry checklist

• Named frame size (e.g. C140) and country bolt-hole drawings
• Thickness / grade band and number of punch stations
• Whether design software (Vertex class) is in scope
• Marking / stacking options
• Confirm this is not a drywall C50/75/100 RFQ

6. Buyer FAQ

Same as drywall C stud?

No. Thickness, punch map, and software stack differ.

Is Vertex always included?

Optional — not assumed on every contract.

Can I use drywall stud speed/power on a villa quote?

No. Documented villa reference is about 30 m/min with servo main about 5.5 kW and thicker strip — keep families separate.
