FRAMECAD FL650 roll forming line

FRAMECAD FL650 roll forming line was built in 2009 in New Zealand by Framecad Solutions Ltd. This state-of-the-art and compact production line is used in the production of precision C- and U-type cold-formed profiles, used as steel floor joists in a wide range of construction projects. The entire machining process is fully automatic and is performed with the highest accuracy. The strip, with a maximum thickness of 1.95 mm, is uncoiled from the coil towards the workspace with a roll forming system. Each profile is precisely formed, cut, punched and individually marked. Large service holes are also made to facilitate the assembly of electrical, HVAC and plumbing systems.

The FRAMECAD roll forming line is operated via a touchscreen panel with an intuitive interface that significantly simplifies the daily work of the operator. The full integration of advanced design software with the controller makes it one of the most intelligent building systems on the market. The installed FRAMECAD Factory software is fully networkable, which maximises productivity and enables remote diagnostics of the machine.The FRAMECAD FL650 roll forming line weighs approximately 7000 kg.
