TAIBANG / EQUIPMENT
CZ Purlin Roll Forming Machine – C/Z/U/Sigma Line
Form C, Z, U and Sigma structural purlins. Start with section sizes, thickness range and hole pattern.
APPLICATION & EQUIPMENT
Define the product you need to sell.
Structural purlin equipment is discussed from the finished member, not from a brochure model number. Share the C, Z, U or Sigma section family, web and flange sizes, thickness range, and whether width changeover must be manual, motorized or servo-assisted. Hole patterns, lip geometry and cut lengths belong in the same brief. This page uses reviewed workshop photographs of coil-handling equipment and a factory-hall forming line; those views show general shop arrangements, not a named purlin model.
Typical applications
- Roof purlins and wall girts
- C, Z, U and Sigma structural members
- Primary and secondary steel framing workshops
Decisions to make early
- List every section that must run on the same equipment.
- Treat punching pitch as part of the product, not an accessory.
- State how often the line must change width during a shift.
YOUR SPECIFICATION BRIEF
Five inputs for a useful quotation.
Share the details you have. If a dimension or requirement is undecided, describe the intended finished product.
| Project item | What to include |
|---|---|
| Section family | C, Z, U and/or Sigma; web, flange and lip dimensions; size range that must share one line. |
| Coil specification | Steel grade, coating, thickness range and strip width for the heaviest and lightest members. |
| Hole pattern | Web and flange holes, slots, pitch, edge margins and measurement points. |
| Changeover | Manual spacer, motorized screw or servo width changeover; expected size mix per shift. |
| Workshop | Coil mass, floor space, power supply and discharge / stacking method. |
Speed, power, tooling, tolerances and control components belong in the agreed machine specification. They are not fixed across this equipment category.
ENGINEERING REFERENCE PARAMETERS
Engineering discussion ranges — confirmed per project
The following engineering baseline reflects measured workshop machine parameters and tooling standards. These figures are category references, not a fixed machine specification.
| Engineering Subsystem | Design Range & Workshop Baseline |
|---|---|
| Section Discussion Range | C, Z, U and Sigma structural members. Engineering discussion range often starts around C80 to C300 and Z120 to Z300 web sizes; the shared size family is confirmed per signed project. |
| Material & Thickness Baseline | Workshop baseline discussion commonly covers commercial and high-yield structural coil in a thickness band around 1.5 to 3.0 mm. Heavier strip, higher yield grades and coating systems are confirmed per signed project, not from this page. |
| Changeover & Tooling Layout | Width and flange changeover may be discussed as manual spacers, motorized lead screws or servo adjustment. Stand count, shaft diameter and roll material are sized from the heaviest section and the required changeover method. |
| Punching & Cutoff Sequence | Web and flange holes may be pre-punched on flat strip or punched in line. Cutoff may be a universal post-shear or a profiled blade set. Sequence, station count and measurement points are workshop baseline topics until the drawing is agreed. |
| Line Speed Discussion Range | Forming and punching cycle discussion often sits in a range of about 8 to 20 meters per minute depending on thickness, hole density and cut length. Finished members per shift must include punching dwell, changeover and stacking time. |
| Electrical & Destination Requirements | Voltage, controls language, guarding and any destination electrical code are matched in the project offer. This page does not publish a fixed cabinet brand or a certified compliance mark. |
SPECIFICATION BOUNDARY
Specifications on this page are either verified brochure baselines or engineering discussion ranges. Final line layout, drive sizing, roll-stand count, tooling material, tolerances and acceptance criteria are confirmed in your signed project offer — they are not fixed by this page. Workshop photos and video show general shop arrangements and mechanical motion; they are not images of a named, quoted machine model.
* Engineering discussion range / workshop baseline; confirmed per signed project. Photographs and video on this page are reviewed workshop views of other forming equipment, not a catalog shot of this exact purlin model.

WORKSHOP VIEWS / PROJECT DISCUSSION
Look at the details. Define your requirements.
Supplied workshop photos are reviewed shop views of coil-handling equipment and a factory-hall forming line. They are not photographs of a named C/Z/U/Sigma purlin model. Use them to discuss layout only. Confirm section family, changeover method and acceptance measurements in the project offer.
WORKSHOP VERIFICATION / CUTOFF AND DISCHARGE
See the equipment in motion.
FACTORY VERIFICATION
Workshop trial footage.
Reviewed workshop footage of profile cutoff and discharge on forming equipment in the shop. It illustrates mechanical motion, not a named C/Z purlin model or a measured output rate.
Silent workshop footage; it shows mechanical motion, not a quoted machine's output.

Common buying questions.
Can I inquire without a final drawing?
Yes. Describe your intended panel or sheet in text. Contact info@tbrollforming.com to discuss sharing a sketch or reference image; this form does not upload files. Final tooling and pricing need an agreed technical brief.
What determines machine output?
Discuss the material, product geometry, length mix and full operating cycle. Forming speed alone does not describe finished output per shift.
How are price, delivery and installation agreed?
Ask for a written offer that defines the equipment list, optional items, inspection, delivery terms, installation responsibilities and support scope.
