There are many types of roll forming machines, which can be distinguished according to their structure. Commonly used are cantilever roll forming machines, double-end roll forming machines, standard roll forming machines, double-layer roll forming machines, Quick change roll forming machine. Let's take a look at their respective structural characteristics and what are their advantages and disadvantages.

1. Cantilever type roll forming machine
For some simple plate shapes, the cantilever roll forming machine is a very common one. The shaft of the cantilever forming machine is supported only by the wall panel on one side, and the other side is suspended. It is usually used in the forming of some simple sections or unilateral profiles.

Advantages: low cost, simple installation, and the edge bending of plates of any width can be easily realized.

2. Double-ended roll forming machine
The double-end roll forming machine is installed oppositely by two sets of forming rolls, and their foundation and drive are shared. The double-end forming machine can be made into a movable one, so that it can produce products of different widths. The minimum material width that can be produced is determined by the closest distance between the forming rolls on both sides. The maximum material width is determined by the maximum distance that the two rolls can move apart. They can be made one fixed and the other movable, or they can be made movable on both sides. A movable forming machine, the center line of the profile changes with the width of the product. The center lines of the two movable molding machines remain unchanged, and are suitable for profiles whose center lines cannot be changed with other auxiliary machining centers. The width adjustment method can be designed to be manual, or it can be designed to be adjusted by a servo motor.

Advantages: It can produce products with different widths and sections, and can be adjusted at will. For a variety of products with the same shape and different widths, the use of this type of molding machine is an ideal way, which can save the cost of equipment procurement for enterprises and reduce the occupied area of the workshop.

3. Standard Roll Forming Machine
Standard roll formers are a common design. Generally, the frame on the drive side is the shaft positioning side, which is used to provide power. The operation side is the other end of the support shaft, and the operation side is movable, which can facilitate the replacement of the rolling wheel.

Advantages: The processing requirements are not high, the production cost of the whole machine is low, and it can be used for the production of high-strength profiles

4. Quick-change roll forming machine
The quick-change roll forming machine is also a commonly used method. This method shares a main machine, and then designs multiple sets of roll modules compatible with the main machine according to the structure of the main machine. Each group of modules can produce a product with a cross-sectional shape.

Advantages: It saves the area of the workshop, and to reduce the cost of equipment procurement, other types of products need to be produced in the later stage, and only one more set of molding modules needs to be customized.
