Metalign Roll Forming Machinery Delivers Light Duty Rack Z Beam Line with Successful Customer Acceptance

Metalign Roll Forming Machinery is proud to announce the successful delivery and on-site inspection of our latest Light Duty Rack Z Beam Roll Forming Machine. Built with precision engineering and user-focused design, this machine has received strong praise from our client following factory acceptance testing.

Purpose-Built for Storage System Efficiency

Z beams are essential components in light-duty racking systems, commonly used as horizontal load-bearing members for shelves in warehouses, supermarkets, and display storage applications. These profiles demand high straightness, consistent shape, and accurate punching to ensure fast assembly and structural stability.

The Metalign Z beam roll forming line is developed specifically for light-duty rack production. It supports galvanized coils ranging from 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm in thickness, and is designed to produce a wide range of Z-shaped beams with adjustable web and flange dimensions. The system integrates inline punching, servo feeding, and quick mold adjustment to streamline the entire forming process.

Key Advantages of the Line

Our light-duty rack Z beam machine stands out in the market for its balance of versatility, durability, and precision. Key benefits include:

• High Production Efficiency: Capable of running at speeds up to 20 meters per minute, with automatic feeding and punching coordination.

• Flexible Profile Range: Easily adjustable to produce different Z beam sizes, flange widths, and slot configurations without major downtime.

• Integrated Hydraulic Punching: Pre-punching system ensures precise hole placement, reducing secondary processing.

• Heavy-Duty Structure: Robust frame, gear transmission, and chain drive ensure long-term reliability and low maintenance.

• Easy Operation: Full PLC control with touchscreen HMI for intuitive setup and parameter adjustments.

This line can be optionally equipped with automated stacking systems, profile marking devices, or integrated inspection cameras to support high-volume production environments.

Customer Satisfaction: Performance Meets Expectations

After manufacturing completion, the customer was invited to Metalign’s factory for a full inspection and live trial. During testing, the machine operated with exceptional stability and accuracy. The customer’s own coil material was used to validate the machine’s compatibility, punching precision, and forming quality.

Operators and quality engineers from the customer’s side expressed full satisfaction with the line’s performance — particularly the clean cut edges, consistent hole alignment, and high-speed stability. The ease of profile changeover and low noise operation were also highlighted as key differentiators.

Their project manager noted that the line would significantly reduce their manual processing time, boost consistency in finished products, and streamline their assembly operations. This inspection marks the beginning of what both parties expect to be a long-term partnership.

Designed with the User in Mind

This successful project is part of Metalign’s ongoing strategy to support the storage and logistics industries with reliable, scalable, and user-oriented roll forming solutions. We understand that for our clients, it’s not just about producing metal profiles — it’s about delivering quality, speed, and adaptability that align with their production goals.

By combining engineering excellence with real-world usability, our light-duty rack forming solutions help our customers respond quickly to market demand, improve inventory flexibility, and stay competitive in a fast-paced industry.
