Roll forming machines are industrial equipment that requires high precision and is in continuous use. Therefore, they need regular maintenance, repairs, and servicing so that they can maintain their optimum performance and have a long lifespan.

Maintenance Processes

• Daily Care:
  • General cleaning of the machine (removal of grease, chips, etc.)
  • Control of lubrication points and lubrication
  • Inspection of wear parts
  • Control of fluid levels (hydraulic oil, cooling water, etc.)
  • Control of electrical connections
• Periodic Maintenance:
  • Wear control of rolls and replacement when necessary
  • Checking the hydraulic system and changing the filter
  • Inspection and maintenance of the electrical panel
  • Adjustment and clamping of mechanical parts
  • Control of temperature distribution by thermal imaging

Repair Processes

• Scheduled Repairs:
  • Elimination of problems detected during periodic maintenance
  • Replacement of wearing or deteriorating parts
  • Refurbishment of a specific part of the machine
• Emergency Repairs:
  • Interventions in case of an unexpected malfunction in the machine
  • Detection and elimination of the cause of the malfunction
  • Getting the machine back up and running as soon as possible

Service Processes

• Installation and Commissioning:
  • Actions when a new machine is purchased or an existing machine is moved to a different location
  • Correct installation and adjustment of the machine
  • Getting the machine up and running and testing it
• Periodic Control:
  • Detailed inspection and maintenance operations carried out at regular intervals
  • Evaluation of the performance of the machine
  • Identifying potential problems and taking preventive measures
