    Operation steps

    Declare which lock is live

    Declare which lock is live

    On a 3-in-1 / dual host, photograph the tool/recipe selection. Idle paths (R, PBR lower, other seam) stay labeled idle. A shared frame is not permission to blend profiles.

    Hang the matching section board

    Hang the matching section board

    Coverage, seam/leg height, male/female lock sketch. Separate boards for clip-lock vs snap-lock if both exist. Never a single "standing seam" mush board.

    Form only the live path

    Form only the live path

    For this dual-layer family, that is typically anupperstanding-seam path. The lower PBR ribbon is a separate profile and is not presented as clip-lock.

    Macro the lock geometry

    Macro the lock geometry

    Snap-lock must show the snap engagement. If the profile includes roller-made nail holes (spec note), show the hole pitch against the drawing—never show holes the live drawing does not call for.

    Dry-fit install hardware separately

    Dry-fit install hardware separately

    If the system uses concealed deck clips, show the view under the seam as aseparateshot from the panel snap. Hardware missing from the crate is a packing fail, not a forming success.

    Tag the lock SKU

    Tag the lock SKU

    Pack label must say Clip-lock or Snap-lock (as ordered). Mixed nests from a multi-former shift are a process fail.

    What's included

    This line

    Clip-lock / snap-lockprofiles on a multi-profile (or dual-layer) host: live recipe, lock geometry, optional roller nail holes, correct tags. Snap-lock = snap engagement without a seamer fold as the join method.

    Standard build

    3-in-1 host running R / clip-lock / snap-lock on one frame; dual-layer build with an upper standing-seam path and a lower PBR path; operates at up to ~25 m/min with a 5 t hydraulic decoiler + car.

    Key details

    Note 1

    The task family puts standing-seam profiles upstairs and PBR downstairs. Cutting to the wrong ribbon is a profile fail, not a "dual-line highlight.".

    Note 2

    Task notes inch length units. Show the recipe screen once so the inch units are clear and the scrap story stays consistent.
