I. Main Types of CU Stud Machines in Iraq
1. Semi-Automatic Basic Models (Preferred by SMEs)
Features:
Manual feeding + mechanical roll forming, simple operation
Power: 15-22kW, compatible with steel thickness: 0.4-1.0mm
Production speed: 8-15 meters/minute
Applications:
Partition walls for small residences, shop renovations, temporary structures
Representative Models:
G550 Base Model` (China), `Delta MK3` (Turkey)
2. Fully Automated Production Lines (Govt/Large Developers)
Features:
Automated uncoiling → punching → forming → cutting
PLC-controlled, customizable hole patterns
Speed: 20-30m/min, thickness range: 0.6-1.2mm
Core Advantage:
Daily output >5,000 meters, precision error ≤0.5mm
Representative Systems:
`RUNSUN RS-A12` (China), `Samco M-Pro` (Italy)
II. Key Technical Parameters (Iraq-Specific Customization)
| Parameter | Local Requirements | Reason
|-----------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------------|
| Steel Material | AZ150 Galvalume steel | Resists high-temp oxidation (50°C+ summers) |
| Thickness Range | 0.6-1.2mm (focus: 0.8mm)| Balances cost & load capacity |
| Deformation Resistance | Reinforced rollers (Ø≥80mm) | Withstands Baghdad's high wind loads |
| Power Compatibility| 380V/50Hz + voltage stabilizer | Unstable Iraqi power grid |
| Cutting System | Hydraulic cutting (non-laser) | Reduces failure in sandy environments |
III. Major Brands & Market Positioning in Iraq
| Brand | Origin | Market Share | Key Features |
|---------------------|-----------|--------------|----------------------------------|
| inmingyang (JMY) | China | ~45% | Cost-effective ($25k-$60k) |
| Samco | Italy | 20% | High precision, expensive maintenance |
| Yinghe | China | 15% | Superior high-temp coating tech |
| Locally Assembled Iraq | 10% | Low cost (<$15k), high failure rate |
Note: Chinese equipment dominates reconstruction projects due to price advantage (40% cheaper than Europe) and rapid spare parts supply (3-day delivery via Iran).
IV. Application Scenarios & Equipment Selection
1. Post-War Rapid Housing Projects
Requirements: CU50 stud machines (wall framing)
Case: Mosul reconstruction used JMY automated lines (30 house frames/day)
Special Config: Dust-sealed bearings
2. Mosque Dome Structures
Requirements: Custom curved stud machines (radius: 1.5-3m)
Case: Al-Sahlah Mosque (Najaf) used Samco + Italian custom rollers
Technical Challenge:Dual-curvature single-pass forming
3. Commercial Partition Walls
Requirements: Multi-function machines (U/C studs + brackets)
Top Choice: `Yinghe YH-450` (with auto-punching)
