Upright Post Roll Forming Machine for Storage Rack Systems Upright Post

Upright Post Roll Forming Machine for Storage Rack Systems

A roll forming line for storage rack upright posts. Galvanized steel strip is uncoiled, formed through 18 roller stations into the post section, punched and cut to length, so the finished upright post leaves the line ready to be assembled into racking.

• 18 roller stations forming the upright post section.
• Galvanized steel strip from 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm thick.
• Speed of 20 m/min or faster.
• Cutting blade in Cr12Mov mould steel, working pressure 16 MPa (2320.60 psi).
• Size change carried out automatically by PLC.
• 15500 kg (34171.65 lb) machine, 7.5 kW, 380 V 50 Hz three phase or custom.

Product Overview

This is a forming line built specifically for storage rack upright posts. Coil is loaded on the decoiler, fed through the entry guide into the forming section, where the post section is built progressively through 18 roller stations, before the punching and cutting units finish the profile and deliver it to the runout.

The line is aimed at racking and storage equipment producers that need a continuous supply of upright posts in one section, at a consistent rate, rather than buying the profile in or blanking it in separate operations. Production speed is 20 m/min or faster, with the section size set from the PLC.

Key Features

18 Roller Stations

The upright post section is formed progressively through 18 roller stations mounted on the main frame, which gives accurate forming and consistent profile dimensions along the full length of the post.

Speed and Material Range

The line runs galvanized steel strip from 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm thick at 20 m/min or faster, which raises output and reduces the material wasted on each post.

Punching and Cutting

The post is punched with the hole pattern along its face and cut to length at the end of the line. The cutting blade is made in Cr12Mov mould steel, and the working pressure is 16 MPa (2320.60 psi).

Automatic Size Change by PLC

Post size changes are carried out automatically by the PLC, so switching the line from one upright section to another does not call for manual re-setting of the stations.

Robust Construction

The forming stations, drive and shear units are carried on a heavy welded base frame, with the machine weighing 15500 kg (34171.65 lb) and measuring 5000 mm x 900 mm x 1300 mm (196.85 in x 35.43 in x 51.18 in). Grabbing, pumping and drive units are listed among the core components.

Operation and Warranty

Easy operation is listed as the key selling point of this line. It carries a 2 years warranty, and both video outgoing-inspection and a machinery test report are provided before shipment.
