Modern steel construction requires structural components that combine strength, dimensional accuracy, and efficient production. The C Z Purlin Machine is designed to manufacture C and Z-shaped steel purlins for roofing systems, steel buildings, warehouses, solar structures, and other structural applications.
The C Z Purlin Roll Forming Machine integrates decoiling, leveling, pre-punching, pre-cutting, roll forming, post-cutting, and product support into one automated production line. With an adjustable forming system, the machine can produce different C and Z purlin sizes without replacing the complete set of forming rollers.
For manufacturers handling multiple purlin specifications, the C Z Purlin Roll Forming Machine Full Automatic configuration provides an efficient way to reduce manual operation and maintain consistent production quality.

Adjustable C/Z Profile Production
One of the main advantages of this CZ Profile Roll Forming Machine is its flexible profile range. The forming system is designed to produce both C and Z purlins while allowing manufacturers to adjust the required profile dimensions according to different construction projects.
The available profile range includes:
| Profile | Width | Height | Lip |
|---|---|---|---|
| C Purlin | 80–300 mm | 30–80 mm | 10–20 mm |
| Z Purlin | 120–300 mm | 30–80 mm | 10–20 mm |
The machine can also support 90° and 135° forming configurations, depending on the required profile design.
This flexibility makes the equipment suitable for manufacturers that produce different structural steel sections rather than focusing on only one fixed purlin size.

Full Automatic C/Z Purlin Production Line
The production process of the CZ Purlin Machine can be arranged as:
Decoiling → Leveling → Pre-Punching → Pre-Cutting → Roll Forming → Post-Cutting → Product Support
The PLC control system coordinates each stage.
The pre-punching system processes holes before the steel strip enters the roll forming section. This helps maintain accurate hole positioning for structural installation.
The pre-cutting system allows the material to be cut according to programmed production requirements before forming, helping reduce unnecessary material waste for customized orders.
After punching and cutting, the strip enters the forming section where multiple roller stations gradually shape the steel into the required C or Z profile.

Interchange C/Z Purlin Machine Without Frequent Roller Changes
For manufacturers producing both C and Z sections, an Interchange CZ Purlin Machine can provide greater production flexibility than a machine dedicated to only one profile.
The SX20 configuration allows operators to adjust the required profile dimensions through the PLC control system. This reduces the need for frequent manual adjustments and makes switching between different production requirements more convenient.
The machine is suitable for producing:
- C-shaped steel purlins
- Z-shaped steel purlins
- Different profile widths
- Different profile heights
- Different lip dimensions
- Customized punching patterns
- Customized cutting lengths
This makes the CZ Purlin Roll Forming Machine particularly useful for steel fabrication companies that receive orders with different specifications.

Pre-Punching and Pre-Cutting System
A major feature of the machine is the integrated pre-punching and pre-cutting system.
The hydraulic punching unit creates holes at programmed positions before the material enters the forming section. Hole spacing, quantity, and production length can be controlled through the PLC system.
Meanwhile, pre-cutting allows the machine to process customized lengths according to the production program.
The system can automatically manage:
- Punching positions
- Hole spacing
- Cutting length
- Production quantity
- Batch production
- C/Z profile parameters
By storing production parameters in the control system, operators can switch between different orders more efficiently.


High-Strength Roll Forming for 1.0–3.0 mm Steel
The CZ Roll Forming Machine is designed for steel materials with thicknesses from 1.0 to 3.0 mm.
Compatible materials include cold rolled steel, galvanized steel, and hot rolled steel. Typical material grades include Q195, Q235B, and ST52.
The forming section uses approximately 18–20 roller stations, depending on the final machine configuration. Cr12 forming rollers can be used to provide good wear resistance and stable forming performance during continuous production.
The standard forming speed is approximately 15–18 m/min with punching, while production speed can reach up to 30 m/min without punching, depending on the profile and machine configuration.
The main forming system uses a 22 kW servo motor, while an 11 kW hydraulic station provides power for punching and cutting operations.
