Production Line
The rack cross bracing roll forming machine is designed for continuous production of punched steel cross bracing profiles used in warehouse racking systems, delivering stable forming accuracy, efficient flying punching and cutting, and reliable high-volume output.
- Continuous non-stop production
- Accurate mounting hole positioning
- Reduced manual drilling work
We can customize the machine configuration for different rack cross bracing designs, hole layouts, profile dimensions, material thickness ranges, and production speed requirements.
Ideal for warehouse racking manufacturers, storage system suppliers, and metal profile producers requiring efficient mass production of punched rack cross bracing components.

Profile Information
Rack cross bracing is used to strengthen warehouse racking structures. Its lightweight angled profile improves frame stability and load resistance, with multiple sizes available for different rack systems.
Rack cross bracing profiles commonly use 1.5-3.0mm galvanized steel or cold rolled steel, providing good structural strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effective large-scale production performance.
How Does The Roll Forming Machine Work?
Machine Details
Steel Coil Decoiler
Steel coil decoiler is used to unwind metal coils smoothly for feeding into roll forming, cutting, or punching processes.
Manual decoiler is a basic and economical option, while motorized and hydraulic decoilers are also available for higher efficiency and automation:
| Power Type | Manual | Steel Coil Width | Max 1250mm |
| Loading Capacity | 5/7/10 Ton | Expanding Range | 460-50mm |
Roll Forming Machine
The roll forming machine uses cast-iron stands and gearbox transmission to ensure stable forming pressure, precise profile shaping, and reliable long-term operation. Multiple forming stations gradually shape the steel strip into accurate rack cross bracing profiles with high consistency.
| Speed | 20m/min | Forming Station | 18 Stands |
| Motor Power | 7.5Kw | Shaft Diameter | 76mm, solid |
| Driving System | Gearbox | Roller Material | Gcr15,HRC58-62° |
| Frame Structure | Cast-iron | Shaft Material | 40Cr heat treatment |
Flying Cutting & Punching Unit
The flying hydraulic cutting and punching unit performs non-stop punching and cutting synchronized with the roll forming speed. The moving cutting carriage creates relative static positioning during operation, ensuring accurate hole locations and clean cutting without stopping production, greatly improving installation efficiency and production capacity.
PLC Control Cabinet & Encoder
In a cold roll forming line, the encoder works with the PLC to provide real-time feedback on material position and speed, ensuring precise feed, synchronized forming, and accurate length control for cutting and punching.
Production speed, product length, and quantity can be set on the control cabinet. The display language can be customized according to customer requirements.
