Rolll Forming Machine
The buyer’s company manufactures window hardware for major
window manufacturers throughout the U.S., and Canada.
Their facility currently has 5 roll forming machines
(Tishken, Monarch and Seng Fung with 8 to 10 (passes) that
use a 15 ton Rouselle or Federal cutoff press.
Due to recent product introduction and increased sales,
they are in need of additional roll forming equipment that
will increase their output as well as relieve them from an
offline secondary operation. They are interested in
obtaining a price quote for two machines.
The attached files represent what the buyer currently has
for roll mill stand locations and spacing
on one of their existing machines. They have included
their materials specifications width and thickness, coil
size, etc. The information highlighted in yellow are the
materials that they would be running on the machines that
they are interested in.
They determined their feet per minute feed rate and
calculated 252 feet per minute. That is based
on the speed of the rolls as they were turning.
Their shortest part will be six inches in length and their
longest part will be 54 inches. The majority of parts (85-
90%) will be between 12 and 36 inches.
Their current machinery can produce channels at a rate of
about 2 seconds per channel. This time includes the time
is takes to change a number block die in the press. This
die has to be changed every time there is a part number
change and can take 3 – 5 minutes. Ink
jetting the part number on the steel will reduce this
significantly.
The C shaped channel drawing (will be sent upon receipt of
interest to quote) represents a shape that they buyer is
currently punching into the channel off line, as a
secondary operation. They would like to incorporate this
in the roll forming operation, possibly at the end of the
mill. This operation is not done on every c shaped
channel. Sometimes, they buyer is required to countersink
a hole in the same end that the channel groove is and then
there are times when no additional operation has to be
done to the channel other than forming. The buyer can
send samples of their channels that show their current
operational requirements.
Yearly volume: In a perfect world one of their operators
can run 12,000 pieces per shift. They are currently
running 2 shifts per day, 5 days a week. Based on this
information one machine could process about 6,000,000
pieces in a year. That is based on 12,000 pieces
per shift X 2 shifts X 251 days. The attached PDF
provide critical dimensions for standard
channels. (will be sent upon receipt of interest to
quote)
One must have feature is the ability to inkjet their part
numbers on the outside surface of the channel. There is
considerable change over time associated with a part
number change on the number blocks in the dye. This is a
significant down time reduction. The Top Shoe drawing
shows the number block location in the die as well as
their current die configuration.
Some other options that could be considered are cutting on
the fly and the use of a pneumatic or hydraulic punch
press. In an effort to keep tooling prices in check,
their current dies and tooling should be looked at for
incorporation into any new equipment, if feasible. The
buyer will defer to your expertise on which will work best
for them.
They will also need steel uncoiling equipment with these
machines.
Please look at the information; if they need to, they can
set up a conference call with their maintenance and
tooling engineer. The buyer hopes the attached files
can help you understand what they are looking for.
Engineer drawings and prints for the c-shaped channels
will be provided to companies that express a desire to
quote on the fabrication of this machinery.
The buyer is interested in taking receipt of two machines
in November/December 2006. Let them know what additional
information you will need to prepare a price quote.
