Steel Formwork Side Frame Making Machine – Custom Roll Forming Machine Manufacturer

Concrete Formwork Edge Profile Roll Formers for Construction

This roll forming machine produces side frames (edge profiles) for steel concrete formwork systems used in building construction, bridge piers, and tunnel lining. The line forms 2‑4mm thick galvanized or black steel coil into C‑channel or hat‑shaped side rails with pre‑punched holes for panel connectors. Integrated punching creates alignment holes and tie rod slots. Speeds up to 8 m/min, cut‑off tolerance ±1mm. Heavy‑duty construction for thick material. Ideal for formwork manufacturers requiring strong, dimensionally accurate side frames that resist concrete pressure.

Description

Steel Formwork Side Frame Rolling Machining Machines

– Strong Edge Profiles for Concrete Formwork

The steel formwork side frame production line is a heavy‑duty line designed to produce side frames (edge profiles) for steel concrete formwork panels. These frames are welded to the edges of formwork sheets, providing stiffness, flatness, and connection points for adjacent panels. They must withstand high concrete pressures and repeated use.

Why roll forming for formwork side frames?

Traditional fabrication involves press braking and drilling – slow and inconsistent. Roll forming produces continuous side frame sections with pre‑punched holes, ensuring consistent hole spacing and profile straightness. This reduces welding time and improves panel assembly accuracy.

Production process:

Uncoiling – Heavy‑duty hydraulic uncoiler (10‑15 tons), coil width up to 400mm.
Straightening – Leveling rolls for thick material.
Servo punching – Creates panel connector holes, tie rod slots, and alignment marks.
Roll forming – 12‑14 passes form the flat strip into a C‑channel or hat profile. Rollers made of Cr12MoV, HRC58‑62.
Notching (optional) – Creates corner notches for panel corner assembly.
Cut‑off – Heavy‑duty flying shear cuts to length (±1mm).
Stacking – Powered stacker for heavy sections.

Key features:

Heavy gauge capacity – Handles material up to 4mm thick.
Pre‑punched holes – Eliminates on‑site drilling.
High straightness – Ensures formwork panels are flat.
Durable tooling – Hardened rollers for long life.
Quick changeover – Adjustable tooling for different frame widths.
