One line for every purlin and girt on a metal building. The RX-CZ12 changes from C to Z, and from one web depth to another, from the touchscreen, with no roller swap and no crane. Changeover takes three to eight minutes instead of an afternoon.
Select the profile and the web, flange, and lip dimensions on the PLC, and the forming stands reposition themselves. There is no tooling to lift off and no shims to chase. A shop that quoted C purlins this morning can run Z girts after lunch.
A 40 HP main drive, 75 mm solid shafts, and CR12 steel rollers, heat-treated, give this machine the strength to form material up to 12 gauge. Twelve forming stations bend the flange and lip gradually to help avoid flare and twist on long sections.
The hydraulic shear uses Cr12MoV blades, the equivalent of D2 tool steel, so the cut stays clean at full thickness. Cut length is controlled by encoder and PLC, with batch and quantity presets.
Web and flange punching for bolted connections and sag rods is included and can be configured to meet your specific building-system requirements, with punch locations and patterns based on your project needs. The line can run up to 105 FPM without punching, while actual production speed will depend on the number of punches required for the selected configuration.
