Profile Information
Vehicle guide rail profiles feature a U-shaped section with curved geometry for guiding, supporting, or sliding applications in automotive structures and assembly systems. They are widely used in commercial vehicles, trailers, and special vehicle body components.
Common materials include galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, and high-strength steel. These curved automotive profiles are usually produced by a roll forming machine combined with an elbowing machine for continuous bending production.
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 adopts a cast-iron stand and chain driving system to ensure strong rigidity and stable transmission during heavy-duty production. Since the material is thick and pre-punched, this configuration helps maintain forming precision, stable hole positioning, and reliable long-term operation.
| Speed | 20m/min | Forming Station | 18 Stands |
| Motor Power | 7.5Kw | Shaft Diameter | 76mm, solid |
| Driving System | Chain | Roller Material | Gcr15,HRC58-62° |
| Frame Structure | Wall panel | Shaft Material | 40Cr heat treatment |
Hydraulic cut unit
The hydraulic cut system provides accurate profile cutting with smooth cutting edges and stable length control. It works synchronously with the roll forming machine to improve production efficiency and reduce profile deformation.
Elbowing Machine
The elbowing machine is used to continuously bend the formed guide rail into the required curved shape. The controlled bending process helps the profile match vehicle installation structures and improves assembly compatibility.
Safety Designs
Chain covers are installed to protect operators and extend chain service life. Full-machine mesh covers (slidable) provide visibility with safety. Flip-type covers ensure convenient access with enhanced protection.
Safety signs are applied to continuously alert operators.
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.
Other Customization Details
The machine comes standard with a blue main color and orange accents. Other colors can be customized free of charge.
The default metal nameplate is Goalon, which can also be customized at no additional cost.
Basic Services
Professional Packing
Machines are packed in plastic film and labeled for easy identification and assembly, and secured inside the container with steel cables.
Installation Guide
Free customized manuals, operationvideos, installationvideos, and remote video supportare provided.
The standard configuration operates at 15–20 m/min. Higher-end configurations can reach 30 m/min, and even higher speeds can be customized according to specific production requirements.
Lead times range from 30-40 days post-order, varying by customization level and supplier location. We typically require 35 days for standard machines.
Yes. The production line includes an elbowing machine specifically designed for continuous curved forming to match vehicle installation and assembly requirements.
Yes. We are a professional manufacturer that produces both standard market profiles and customized profiles. We can also sign an agreement to ensure that your drawing will not be shared with other parties.
There is no need to worry. Our machines are designed for easy installation and operation.
Before shipment, we will finish the main assembly and testing in our factory. When the machine arrives, you only need to place it in position, connect the power supply, and it can start working.
We will also provide:
detailed installation and operation manuals
machine layout drawings
wiring diagrams
online technical support (video call / photos / videos)
If needed, we can also arrange an engineer to come to your factory to help with installation and training. Many of our customers complete installation smoothly with our online guidance.
