The Omega Profile Roll Forming Machine is a specialized automated system designed for manufacturing Omega-shaped (Ω) light steel framing channels, widely used in construction for suspended ceilings, partition walls, and cable tray systems. Below is a detailed breakdown of its features, applications, and market advantages.
1. Machine Overview
The Omega Profile Roll Forming Machine processes cold-rolled steel strips (typically 0.3-1.2mm thick) into structural framing channels with an "Ω"-shaped cross-section, known for their high load-bearing capacity and ease of installation.
2. Key Features
(1) High Efficiency
Speed: 15-30 meters per minute (depending on material and thickness), with a daily output of 5,000-8,000 meters.
Automation: PLC-controlled with automatic feeding, punching, cutting, and stacking, minimizing manual labor.
(2) Precision Forming
Mold Material: Cr12MoV alloy steel, hardened for durability (lifespan exceeding 500,000 cycles).
Tolerance: ±0.1mm, ensuring tight assembly (critical for concealed ceiling systems).
(3) Flexibility
Adjustable Parameters: Mold replacement or roller adjustment allows production of various Omega channel sizes (common dimensions: 30-100mm height, 50-300mm width).
Material Compatibility: Works with galvanized steel (DX51D+Z), aluminum-magnesium alloys, and fire-resistant boards (e.g., Rockwool-faced channels).
3. Typical Applications
Commercial Buildings: Office/hotel ceilings (paired with gypsum or mineral fiber boards).
Residential Construction: Lightweight partition walls, concealed ceiling systems.
Industrial Facilities: Cable trays, HVAC duct supports.
4. Adaptability in the Mexican Market
Climate Resistance: Anti-corrosion galvanized coating (≥80g/m² zinc), suitable for humid coastal areas (e.g., Cancún).
Local Standards: Complies with NMX-C-460 (Mexican light steel framing standards); some models support NOM certification.
Cost Advantage: Local production reduces logistics costs by 30%+ compared to imported channels.
