Storage Rack Roll Forming Solution
Pallet-rack P-beam mill with bottom laser weld. Example: 26 stands, 1-1.5 mm, 6 kW laser, 380 V / 60 Hz. Upright forming mills and brace lines are separate hosts; a punch die is tooling.
Who it's for
Rack plants that roll uprights, beams and braces from coil and need a clear host for year-one volume before mixing punch-die-only jobs or deck panels.
Weld on the beam
Weld on the beam
this example uses a bottom laser weld on the P-beam.
Punch tooling vs a mill

a progressive upright die is not a forming line.
How to choose a line
- Pallet-rack P-beam (box beam with bottom weld) -> P-beam line (Example specification on this page)
- Rack upright column -> Upright forming mill (Separate quotation; punch die alone is not the mill)
- Diagonal brace -> Brace punch-and-form line (Quoted separately)
- Deck / shelf panel -> Deck panel line (Ask separately)
Example specification
One delivered example. Final numbers follow your quotation.
| Example line | Pallet-rack P-beam mill from a delivered specification (not an upright column mill) |
|---|---|
| Material / weld | 1-1.5 mm; weld position at the bottom |
| Infeed | Single-head hydraulic decoiler 3 t with electric rotate |
| Former | 26 stands / shaft Dia. 70 / Cr12MoV rolls / cast stands / gearbox / 10-12 m/min |
| Weld / stamp | 6 kW laser weld; tracking logo punch per drawing |
| Cut / controls | Tracking flying saw, cold cut; Delta PLC; 380 V / 60 Hz / 3-phase |

FAQ
Can one rack machine make uprights, beams and braces?
P-beam, upright column and diagonal brace are different hosts. The example below is the P-beam mill.
Where do 26 stands and 6 kW laser come from?
From the quotation that matches that delivered P-beam line. Brace and upright files stay on their own quotes.
We only need upright punches. Is that this page?
A progressive punch die is tooling. Send the CAD. A full upright mill is a separate quotation.
How are price and lead time quoted?
Send the quote checklist. Commercial terms come back on the offer.
