Here's an English translation of the introduction to C-shaped Steel Stud Roll Forming Machines commonly used in Guam, covering their functions, features, applications, and selection guidelines:
1. Equipment Overview
C-shaped Steel Stud Roll Forming Machines are automated systems designed to produce light steel studs (C-shaped profiles) through a cold-forming process. These machines continuously roll and shape metal coils (e.g., galvanized steel strips) into standardized C-shaped cross-sections. The output is widely used in Guam's construction industry, particularly for light steel frame buildings, partition walls, and ceiling systems.
2. Structure and Working Principle
Key Components:
Uncoiler: Holds and feeds metal coils automatically.
Roll Forming System: Multiple precision rollers gradually bend the material into a C-shaped profile.
Cutting Unit: Hydraulic or pneumatic shear for length-specific cutting.
Control System: PLC or CNC-based for adjusting speed, length, and parameters.
Process Flow:
Uncoiling → Leveling → Roll Forming → Cutting → Output.
3. Features of Models Commonly Used in Guam
Material Compatibility:
Suitable materials: Galvanized steel strips (thickness: 0.4-2.0mm, width: 50-150mm), compliant with **ASTM A653** (U.S. standard) or **JIS G3302 (Japanese standard).
Corrosion resistance: Due to Guam's humid, tropical, and coastal climate, thicker zinc coatings (e.g., Z275) or aluminum-zinc alloy materials are recommended.
Profile Specifications:
Standard C-stud dimensions: Height 50-150mm, flange width 20-50mm (customizable).
Production speed: 15-30 meters/minute (varies by model).
Advantages:
High efficiency for small-to-medium-scale local manufacturers.
Modular design for easy mold replacement.
Low energy consumption, suitable for island regions.
4. Applications (Guam Market)
Light Steel Framing: Wall and roof structures for residential/commercial buildings.
Interior Systems: Ceiling grids, partition walls (e.g., with drywall).
Infrastructure: Temporary housing, warehouses, solar mounting systems.
