We are proud to announce the successful delivery of a complete U profile roll forming production line to a new customer in Hungary. This tailor-made line is designed for forming U-shaped steel profiles and includes a post-punching system—a feature that offers high accuracy for hole placement after the profile is fully formed. To further support the customer’s production requirements, we also supplied a separate punching press machine for additional post-processing needs.

This shipment marks another important step in our company’s growing footprint in the European market and reinforces our dedication to delivering customized, efficient, and cost-effective roll forming solutions.

A Precision-Driven Solution: Post-Punching on U Profiles

The primary highlight of this production line is its post-punching design. Unlike pre-punching, where holes are created on flat steel before roll forming, this system performs punching after the steel has been fully shaped into a U profile. This method ensures that the punching is highly precise and exactly aligned with the profile’s formed geometry.

This approach is ideal for industries that require exact tolerances—such as the production of structural channels, mounting rails, cable trays, or metal frames. It eliminates many of the common errors associated with pre-punching, such as misalignment caused by material deformation during forming. With this system, the finished U profiles come out with clean edges, accurate hole positioning, and consistent quality across long production runs.

The punching system is hydraulic-powered, offering stable punching force and long-term durability. Controlled by a centralized PLC unit, the punching process can be quickly adjusted based on the user’s requirements, enabling flexible hole spacing and patterns.

From Coil to Cut Length with Full Automation

The production line is fully automatic, featuring components such as a manual decoiler, leveler, precision roll forming stations, the post-punching unit, and a hydraulic shear for cutting the profiles to the desired length. The entire system is operated through a user-friendly touchscreen interface, allowing the operator to enter production parameters, monitor operation, and make real-time adjustments.

Roll forming is carried out with hardened rollers mounted on solid shafts, ensuring longevity and stable performance. The shearing unit works in synchronization with the line speed, delivering clean and burr-free cuts. Together, this streamlined system ensures fast and efficient production with minimal material waste and reduced labor input.

Additional Flexibility with Punching Press Machine

In addition to the inline roll forming and punching system, the Hungarian customer also requested a separate punching press machine to carry out extra post-processing tasks. This machine provides added flexibility, allowing the user to perform custom punches, notches, or additional hole placements on U profiles that cannot be achieved during the inline process.

The punching press is designed with a heavy-duty frame and interchangeable die sets, making it suitable for a wide range of U profile modifications. Whether the customer needs specific end-hole punching, angled slots, or larger diameter holes, this secondary system ensures they can meet varied client demands without requiring external processing or manual labor.

Collaborative Design and Factory Testing

This customized machine line was the result of close collaboration between our engineering team and the Hungarian customer. After a series of consultations and drawings exchanges, our team proposed a production layout that met the customer’s exact needs in terms of profile shape, hole specifications, and operational capacity.

Once manufacturing was completed, a full in-factory test was conducted. Coils of steel were run through the line to demonstrate each function—from roll forming to post-punching and cutting. The customer joined the test via video conference and expressed satisfaction with the performance and production quality.

Ready for Operation in Hungary

The machines were carefully packed and shipped to Hungary, with each component protected with anti-rust treatment and wooden crates. Along with the machines, the customer received a full set of operating manuals, electrical diagrams, and instructional videos to assist with installation and commissioning. Our technical support team is available to provide remote assistance during setup and future operation.

As Hungary continues to modernize its industrial infrastructure, we are proud to contribute with advanced equipment that supports local manufacturers. This successful delivery adds to our growing number of installations across Europe and strengthens our role as a reliable supplier of custom roll forming solutions.

We look forward to more opportunities to serve partners in Hungary and beyond.
