3. Importance of Metal Framing Making Machine
High speed metal framing machine
KINGREAL Roll Former metal framing making machines can reach operating speeds of up to 120 m/min, providing customers with extremely high production output.
In the construction industry, KINGREAL Roll Former high speed metal framing machines help customers complete projects in a shorter timeframe, improving overall efficiency.
01
Precise forming and cutting for metal framing machine
KINGREAL Roll Former metal framing making machines use CR12MOV die steel for the forming rollers, which undergoes heat treatment and achieves a hardness of HRC 58-60. The cutting station blades are made of D2 material, which undergoes quenching and achieves a hardness of HRC 60.
These material choices ensure that the metal framing machine delivers high-precision forming and cutting during production, guaranteeing high-quality and consistent finished products.
02
Highly automated metal framing making machine
Modern metal framing machines are becoming increasingly automated, and KINGREAL Roll Former has equipped them with an auto packaging unit. After the metal framing making machine completes profile production, the product is transported directly from the discharge table to the packaging machine for automatic stacking, bundling, and packaging. This automated process not only improves efficiency but also prevents the finished product from falling apart during transportation.
In addition, the metal framing machine's equipped inkjet device or engraving roller allows the customer's brand logo or specifications, such as dimensions, to be printed directly on the finished product, reducing the need for post-processing and further streamlining the production process.
03
Diverse punching dies for metal framing machine
Another key feature of the metal framing making machine is its diverse punching die options. KINGREAL Roll Former can configure different punching dies based on customer drawings, producing products with H-shaped, round, and rectangular hole patterns. By changing the punching die, customers can flexibly meet diverse production needs, enhancing the metal framing machine's adaptability and flexibility.

5. Installation of Metal Stud and Track
The installation of a metal framing machine is a systematic process involving multiple steps, each crucial to the stability and aesthetics of the final wall. The following detailed installation process will help you understand how to install partition wall stud and tracks efficiently and accurately.
1. System Selection
Before installing a partition wall, you must first select studs that are appropriate for the wall height and the liner you plan to use. Choosing tracks that match the stud size and specifications is equally important. Ensuring these components meet your design requirements will enhance the wall's load-bearing capacity and overall stability.
2. Corner Spacers
Corner spacers play a critical role in the partition wall's structure. Once you've determined the corner spacer requirements for your wall, you can proceed with installation. Installation instructions are as follows:
While installing the stud, place the track flat on the floor track.Slide the corner spacer track upward onto the stud.Secure the corner spacer to each side of the stud with screws to ensure a secure fit. This installation method improves the overall strength of the wall and ensures smooth corners.
3. Layout and Installation
The next step is to install the flooring and tracks that suit your wall layout. Note the following:
Ensure the internal center distance is at least 600 mm and the distance from the structure is maintained at least 100 mm.
Securely secure the tracks to the structure to ensure wall stability.
Proper layout and securing will effectively prevent deformation or loosening of the wall during use.
4. Inserting Studs
Insert the studs into the appropriate locations on the tracks, ensuring that all studs are aligned. The specific steps are as follows:
The studs are designed to be friction-fitted and installed using a twist-on method.
Ensure that the maintenance holes on the wall studs align to facilitate future maintenance.
Because the studs are reinforced with a backing plate, they do not require permanent fixings, making subsequent adjustments easier.
This design provides greater installation flexibility and facilitates future maintenance and adjustments.
5. Joint Treatment
During the installation process, the treatment of the ceiling joints is equally important. Ensuring the stability and aesthetics of the joints is key to building a high-quality wall. Use appropriate fasteners at joints to ensure a secure connection.
Check the flatness of the joints to avoid problems during subsequent construction.
6. Control Joints
Install control joints on continuous walls up to 12 meters in length, as recommended by the drywall manufacturer. Control joints effectively prevent wall deformation due to temperature fluctuations, ensuring stability and aesthetics.
7. Drywall Lining
Finally, before installing lining board, consult the drywall manufacturer for specific requirements. Always install the lining board to the open side of the stud first to prevent joint misalignment during vertical fastening applications.
Ensure a secure connection between the lining board and the stud to avoid weak points in the wall due to joint problems.
Check the flatness of the lining board to ensure the desired finish and performance.
