Producing many C and U purlin specifications normally requires frequent manual adjustment or several separate production lines. For manufacturers handling varied customer orders, this can increase changeover time, equipment investment and workshop space requirements.
Hebei Zhegong Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. offers a 13-in-1 automatic purlin forming solution designed for flexible multi-profile production. The line combines different size settings within one coordinated system, allowing manufacturers to respond more efficiently to changing project
requirements.
The operator selects the required profile parameters through the PLC interface. The machine then adjusts the relevant forming positions according to the configured production program. This reduces repetitive manual setup and makes it easier to manage short production batches involving different C or U purlin sizes.
The line can integrate feeding, leveling, punching, roll forming, automatic size adjustment and hydraulic cutting. Finished profile length and quantity are controlled electronically, helping maintain consistency across repeated orders. The exact available size range and number of supported profiles are determined by the customer’s drawings and technical requirements.
A multi-profile line is particularly useful for steel structure manufacturers, building-material suppliers and prefabricated construction companies that receive orders for several purlin dimensions. Instead of dedicating separate machines to every profile, users can organize production through one flexible line.
To prepare the correct configuration, Zhegong Machinery reviews the required C and U dimensions, material thickness, punching patterns, production speed and applicable electrical standard. The technical team then develops a suitable forming and control solution.
By combining automatic adjustment with stable roll forming, the 13-in-1 purlin machine helps manufacturers improve production flexibility, reduce changeover work and make better use of factory space.
