Automatic Hat Profile Omega Purlin Roll Forming Machine 0-20m/min

Automatic Hat Profile Omega Purlin Roll Forming Machine

In today's rapidly developing prefabricated buildings and photovoltaic industry, cold-formed thin-walled steel is becoming the core material for steel structure buildings and new energy support systems due to its lightweight, high strength, and convenient construction characteristics. Omega type purlins, also known as "hat type purlins" due to their cross-section resembling a top hat, have been widely used in roof supports, wall studs, photovoltaic brackets, and other fields due to their excellent bending stiffness and installation adaptability. And a high-performance Hat Profile Omega Purlin Roll Forming Machine is the key equipment for efficient and precise production of such profiles.



Hat shaped cross-section with significant structural advantages：

The core competitiveness of Omega type purlins lies in their unique cross-sectional design. The vertical flanging on both sides provides excellent bending stiffness, while the middle groove facilitates self tapping screw penetration or pipeline laying, demonstrating strong adaptability in lightweight partition walls, ceiling systems, and exterior wall dry hanging projects. Through the cold bending process, the metal coil is gradually formed through multiple passes at room temperature, without the need for heating, to obtain precise hat shaped cross-sections. This ensures that the material strength is not damaged and achieves high dimensional consistency.

Technical Core: Accuracy, Efficiency, and Flexibility

The modern Omega purlin forming machine has achieved key breakthroughs in three dimensions:

1.High precision molding.
Using Cr12MoV/GCr15 material quenched and polished forming rollers, combined with CNC grinding technology, to ensure the geometric consistency and straightness of the cap section, with dimensional tolerances controlled within ± 0.2mm. Paired with PLC control system and touch screen human-machine interface, operators only need to input parameters such as aperture spacing and cutting length, and the equipment can automatically complete the entire process from unwinding, forming, punching to fixed length cutting.



2.Efficient output.
The production line speed can reach 0-20m/min (including punching process), and some high-speed models can reach over 20m/min without punching. The application of servo flying shear technology enables the equipment to complete fixed length cutting without stopping, further improving production capacity.



3.Flexible production capacity.
The adjustable range of forming width supported by modern models is usually 50-300mm, and the material thickness covers 1.5-3.0mm. It can handle various substrates such as galvanized steel, cold-rolled steel, and aluminum zinc coated steel. Some high-end models also integrate the "multi in one" molding function of C-type, U-shaped, and Omega type, which allows for quick switching of product types without the need to replace rollers, significantly reducing equipment investment and changeover time.

From building steel structures to photovoltaic brackets: diverse application scenarios

The application field of Omega purlin forming machine is rapidly expanding. In traditional steel structure buildings, the purlins produced are widely used for roof and wall support systems in industrial plants, warehouses, exhibition halls, and commercial buildings. In light steel keel and ceiling systems, the cap type keel serves as the load-bearing component of the main and auxiliary keel systems, carrying panel materials such as gypsum board and mineral wool board, achieving rapid construction of large-area flat ceilings.

In recent years, with the continuous increase in global photovoltaic installed capacity, the application of Omega type purlins in solar support systems has been particularly noteworthy. The high stiffness characteristics of the hat shaped cross-section make it an ideal choice for distributed photovoltaic brackets and ground power station brackets. The molding equipment can be customized with different cross-sectional sizes according to project requirements, providing low-cost and high-efficiency support solutions for the clean energy field. In addition, Omega purlins have also demonstrated extensive application potential in prefabricated modular buildings, container houses, and mechanical and electrical pipeline support fields.
