Sheet-metal forming
Ridge-cap machine
The ridge-cap machine forms roof and façade ridge profiles from coil in successive roll stations and cuts them to length. A PLC controls feed and cut.

Operating principle
Strip from coil passes successive roll stations that form the ridge profile step by step. At the end a shear cuts to target length. The PLC keeps feed, cut and stacking together. Sheet thickness, line speed and drive are sized for the material and profile.
Where this machine is used
Ridge profiles for roof and façade in sheet processing and construction.

Frequently asked sizing questions
What data is needed for a ridge-cap machine?
A dimensioned profile drawing, sheet material and strength, coating, thickness and width range, coil weight, required lengths, tolerances and daily output are required. An approved sample helps define the profile unambiguously.
How is coated sheet protected during roll forming?
Roll geometry, finish, cleanliness, guidance and forming stages are matched to the approved material. Permitted visual characteristics and inspection conditions are agreed in advance; scratch-free output is not promised without a material trial.
How are length and profile dimensions accepted?
Cut length, profile dimensions, angles, straightness and twist are set as measurable acceptance criteria. Confirmation uses approved coil material, agreed measuring equipment and documented samples.
