SP5 Roll Forming for the Metal Construction Industry: Part II Sponsored by Fabricators and Manufacturers Association International
Creative options for Punching/Shearing/Cutoff Challenges in the Metal Building Industry Paul Williams, Sales and Marketing Manager, Hill Engineering
This session will help you understand the different types of punching and cut- off systems required for automating roll forming lines for the metal construc- tion industry. Areas to be covered include:
Punching systems for purlins, studs, joists, corner beads, vertical commercial siding • Stationary punching systems with servo-feeds • Flying punching systems with electronic measuring • High-speed rotary punching units
Cut off systems for roof panels, siding panels, purlins, studs, joists, etc. • Measurement and acceleration methods • What type of press is best for each application? • Pre-shear and post-cutoff systems
Advanced Roll Forming of Steel Framing Components Dave Voth, Regional Sales Manager, FORMTEK Metal Forming Inc.
This presentation will provide insight into the latest advancements in rollform- ing system technology for the steel framing industry. Discussions will focus on automated equipment change-over for material thickness, cross sectional variations, punched opening locations, and part lengths. Handling of the fi n- ished product in high speed operations will be discussed.
Also addressed, will be the level of operator training required. The advantages of programmable rotary punching and cutoff systems will be presented. Included, will be specifi c examples of these technologies being utilized in the manufacturing of steel framing products.
The Four Basic Machine Applications: An Outline of Open Loop, Closed Loop, Flying and Stopping Lines Andy Allman, President, AMS Controls Inc.
This presentation will help you understand the generic terms used to describe rollforming machine applications and help you gain insight of the four basic machine applications. In addition, the session will show you comparisons of the basic machine types in terms of speed, accuracy, and cost to help you make informed decisions in choosing the application for your operation.
Material Handling and Packaging Options for the Roll Forming Industry Rob Taylor, P.E., COO, TEKFAB
The need for material handling and automated packaging equipment can be justifi ed from safety, labor reduction or for high-speed production require- ments. Automated packaging can solve all three requirements. This presenta- tion will educate companies on how to identify which categories and prioritize their material handling requirements. The presentation will then explore the current solutions that are feasible within an example company’s current bud- get and detail the solutions payback.
