Roofing Saddle Washer Roll Forming Machine
I. Machine Function
Specialized for high-efficiency production of metal roofing saddle washers - critical fasteners used to secure metal roof panels (especially standing seam systems), providing waterproofing, wind uplift resistance, and thermal expansion compensation.
Core Process: Utilizes **roll forming** technology to continuously press, punch, and bend metal coil material (e.g., galvalume steel, stainless steel) into precision saddle washers in one integrated operation.
II. Workflow
1.Uncoiling & Leveling
- Automatic decoiler unwinds metal coil; leveling rollers eliminate material stress.
2. Punching/Notching
- High-precision hydraulic/mechanical punch creates mounting holes and locating slots.
3. Roll Forming
Custom-designed roller dies progressively bend strip material into arched saddle profiles.
4. Precision Cutting
Servo-controlled length measurement; hydraulic shear/flying saw cuts finished washers.
5. Output Handling
Automatic stacking or conveyor transfer to packaging.
