Product Introduction
Our high-precision T grid roll forming machine is engineered to produce durable, uniform ceiling grid components for commercial and residential construction. This automated equipment efficiently transforms galvanized steel coils into precise T-shaped and cross-shaped profiles, essential for suspended ceiling systems. The T grid roll forming machine combines advanced PLC control with hardened steel rollers to ensure consistent quality and maximum production efficiency.

Product Features
Dual-Functionality
T-Profiles and Cross-Profiles on a Single Machine
By simply replacing the final few forming rollers, production can be rapidly switched between T-grid and cross-grid profiles without requiring a complete machine overhaul.
01
Infinitely Adjustable Web Width
The forming section utilizes a wedge-block adjustment mechanism, allowing the web width of the T-grid profiles to be continuously adjusted within a range of 24–32 mm to accommodate various ceiling specifications.
02
Integrated In-Line Punching and Cutting
Features an integrated servo-driven punching unit (for creating ceiling mounting holes and splicing holes) and a hydraulic cutting device; hole spacing and profile lengths are configured via the PLC, eliminating the need for secondary processing.
03
Burr-Free Cut Ends
Employs upper and lower contour-matching shear dies; the flanges and web are simultaneously clamped during the cutting process, resulting in flat, deformation-free ends that are ready for immediate on-site assembly.
04
Mirror-Polished Roller Surfaces
All forming rollers that come into contact with the galvanized steel strip undergo chrome plating followed by mirror polishing (surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.2 μm) to prevent scratching of the protective coating and ensure a flawless surface finish on the finished profiles.
05
Application Scenarios
Commercial Buildings
Creates ceiling frameworks for offices, shopping malls, and hotels.
01
Institutional Facilities
Produces components for schools, hospitals, and government buildings.
02
Residential Construction
Manufactures suspended ceiling systems for apartments and homes.
03
Industrial Spaces
Constructs support structures for warehouses and manufacturing plants.
04
Retail Fit-Outs
Provides customizable solutions for store renovations and brand installations.
05
Process Flow
Uncoiling: The galvanized steel coil is loaded onto the uncoiler; a hydraulic expansion mechanism secures the inner ring, ensuring constant-tension unwinding.
Leveling: The steel strip passes through a multi-roller leveler to relieve internal coil stress and ensure a flat, uniform surface.
Embossing (Optional): Trademarks, measurement scales, or reinforcing ribs can be roll-embossed onto the lower flange area; the embossing depth is kept to ≤ 0.1 mm to avoid damaging the galvanized coating.
Servo Punching: Mounting holes or splicing holes are punched into the web at pre-configured intervals (typically 300–600 mm); hole positioning is precisely controlled via an encoder-based closed-loop system.
Cold Roll Forming: The steel strip sequentially passes through a series of 10–14 roller stations, where it is gradually formed into a T-shaped cross-section. The web width is continuously adjustable via the wedge-block mechanism (ranging from 20–35 mm), with a forming speed of 15–25 meters per minute.
Fixed-Length Cutting: Utilizes a contour-matching die to perform a single-stroke punch-and-shear operation; this process simultaneously clamps both the flange and the web, resulting in a flat, burr-free end face with a length tolerance of ±1mm.
Discharge and Stacking: Finished keel profiles slide down the conveyor rack onto the receiving platform, where they undergo either manual or automated bundling.
Why Choose Us
We possess our own in-house machining capabilities; critical components-such as forming rollers and machine frames-are manufactured internally. This ensures that delivery schedules are not subject to external outsourcing constraints and allows for full traceability of product quality.
Leveraging the comprehensive industrial ecosystem of Botou's foundry sector, we benefit from rapid response times regarding raw material procurement and heat treatment services. For standard specifications (e.g., T-bar keels with 24–32mm webs), we maintain a stock of ready-made dies, enabling us to ship orders within just 7 days.
Customers need only provide cross-sectional drawings to receive a complimentary sample (simply ship us the raw material, and we will produce the finished profile). A formal contract is signed only after the sample results have been verified and approved, thereby significantly mitigating procurement risks.
Our after-sales service includes remote technical guidance and rapid spare parts supply. We maintain a year-round inventory of core wear-and-tear components to prevent prolonged machine downtime.
FAQ
Q1: What types of ceiling profiles can this T grid roll forming machine produce?
A: Our machine can produce various T-grid profiles including main tees, cross tees, wall angles, and custom shapes based on your specific design requirements.
Q2: How long does installation and training take?
A: Standard installation and operator training typically take 3-5 days. We provide comprehensive documentation and on-site technical support.
Q3: What is the expected service life of the machine?
A: With proper maintenance, our roll forming machines have an average service life of 10-15 years. Key components come with a 1-year warranty.
