Profiling machines and lines bend thin sheets with variable widths into a defined profile. Examples for rolled profiles are shelving elements, bumpers or decorative strips. Profiling machines feed the sheet metal strip through successive rolls and roller conveyor belts in order to achieve the desired sheet metal forming. Before each profile change, the roller conveyor belts must be readjusted, whereby, depending on the design of the profiling machine, either entire roller segments can be exchanged or individual rollers can be adjusted hydraulically. You will find used profiling machines (e.g. from DREISTERN, RAS or SCHLEBACH) and other used machinery at Surplex!

A profiling machine is a piece of equipment used to process sheet metal. Using rollers during a continuous process, the desired profile is pressed onto the sheet metal. Profiling machines are big machines that need a lot of space to operate.

 Quality   Great offers   Personalized Thin, flat pieces of sheet metal are usually available in coil strips, and lifted up to the machine using a winch. The winch of a profile machine unravels the coil and thereby pushes the sheet metal through the machine. The machine contains a multitude of rollers posited together, that are used to bend the sheet metal into the desired profile, as it is pushed through the machine. The machine also contains a profile saw at the back, which cuts the profiled sheeting into the appropriate lengths. Profile machines with pre-constructed roller conveyors fragment the different components that are then replaced with the desired profile. On other machines, each individual roller can be hydraulically adjusted. However, on these machines the thickness of the profiled sheeting is usually restricted. Therefore, by using machines where the individual rollers are adjustable, the reconstructing of a desired profile onto another workpiece is much faster. Using these machines enables you to programme the profiles into the machine, which can then be used again just by pressing a button. When a new profile shape is required on a machine using segmented roller conveyors, these need to be replaced using a crane. The period of inactivity for these machines can last up to an hour.

Profile machines are produced by manufacturers who provide trapezoidal sheet metal and profiled sheeting as intermediate or end products. Wall and roof elements made out of galvanised sheet steel are a common product. Another usage of this machine is for the further processing of profiled sheeting into sandwich panels. This is done by putting two pieces of profiled sheeting into a double band system, which are then filled with rigid foam or isolation material.

Profile machines are machines which work with large volumes of material. They require high amounts of energy, space and maintenance. The speed at which the sheet metal passes along the band is a large factor in determining the machine's efficiency. Even though profile machines have an extensive amount of safety devices, workers must be briefed on the dangers posed in working with this machine. For example, the edges of the sheet metal can be dangerous, causing cuts or crushing injuries, due to the speeds at which it is pushed through the machine. Other than this, work done with a profile machine can be conducted by trained assistants. Licensed crane drivers should be the only workers assembling of the pieces and positioning the new coils, which can be as heavy as up to 30 tonnes.
