Frequently Asked Questions
The 686 IBR profile is specifically designed for high-strength roofing and cladding, offering excellent water drainage and structural rigidity, making it ideal for industrial and residential buildings in high-rainfall areas.
Yes, the machine is compatible with galvanized steel, Galvalume, and pre-painted (PPGI/PPGL) coils, provided they fall within the supported thickness range of 0.3mm to 0.8mm.
It utilizes a high-precision hydraulic post-cutting system. The length is programmed via the PLC, and the machine automatically stops and cuts the sheet to the exact specified dimension.
Regular lubrication of the bearings and periodic inspection of the roller surfaces for debris are recommended to maintain precision and extend the life of the tooling.
Yes, the machine is shipped in modular sections for easier transport and is designed for straightforward installation. We provide detailed manuals and technical support for commissioning.
Absolutely. The PLC control system allows the operator to input any required length, making it perfect for custom orders and specific architectural requirements.
