SP3 Roll Forming for the Metal Construction Industry: Part I Sponsored by Fabricators and Manufacturers Association International
Five Considerations for Metal Building Roll Formers Ryan Durst, Senior Manager, Sales and Marketing, The Bradbury Co.
This presentation will challenge the participant to think about panel, purlin and trim roll forming in a production environment. How does technology apply to return on investment? What is the balance between technology and resources? Does automation help the bottom line? Understand equipment used in the production of metal building components, what components to look for when investing in equipment, and technology and effi ciency as it relates to productivity.
Improve Profi tability & Competitiveness through Computer Integrated Manufacturing Andy Allman, President, AMS Controls Inc.
Learn how to eliminate production mistakes, minimize scrap and improve your responsiveness to customer needs. Integrated roll forming and trim shop machine controls support downloading of production schedules, ensure the correct coil is used for every order, and can track everything that happens at each machine. Find out the true production capacity of your machines and who your best operators are. Use OEE to monitor productivity and Pareto analysis to help prioritize your continuous improvement efforts. As competi- tion becomes more intense, you cannot afford to be stuck with a manual production control system.
Proper Roll Form Tooling Setup and Troubleshooting Steve Ebel, President, Roll Form Solutions Inc.
This presentation will show how to set up roll form tooling and document the setup. The session will cover inspection of the roll former and how to main- tain the machine face alignment or calibrate the machine to achieve the best possible setup of roll form tooling. The session will also cover some build standard ideas for roll form tooling manufacture as well as useful hints on troubleshooting the tooling and setup.
Process Lubrication for Roll Forming Building Components Joe Hough, Vice President/Director Technical Services, Tower Oil & Technology Inc.
This session will outline the different types of metalworking lubrication used in modern building component roll forming shops, covering typical applica- tion methods and common uses of lubricants. Next, it will cover combining the lubricants illustrated and how they perform, or their compatibility with the various materials most building components are made from. The session will
also tie together the importance of proper coolant system control along with compatibility concerns and fl uid maintenance.
Fee: $140

SP4 Copper Installation Techniques: Soldering Procedures Sponsored by Copper Development Association
Larry Peters, Project Manager, Copper Development Association Inc.
This seminar discusses the impact of design and technique on success- ful performance of soldered copper seams for roofi ng and cladding ap- plications. The seminar introduces tools and techniques for installation of soldered systems, explains proper technique and demonstrates procedure. This class presents essential information for both experienced and beginning sheet metal contractors.
Learning Objectives: 1. Identify when to use a soldered seam. 2. Critical design considerations such as thermal movement and surface slope. 3. Proper soldering procedure. 4. How to identify and avoid common mistakes.
Fee: $70
