The steel angle making machine is a specialized industrial device that produces steel angles. Steel angles are metal manufacturing with thicker and lighter metal plates and show an L-shape. The steel angle can be made from hot-rolled steel, cold-rolled steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. The steel angle-making machine bends the metal into a specific angle. It performs cutting, shearing, punching, and drilling processes on the metal to manufacture angles of different sizes.
The process of making steel angles begins when the material is fed into the steel angle-making machine. The material is then clamped in a fixed position so that a cutting tool can move towards it, performing the first step of the process. The cutting tool moves vertically down to the desired level and then moves horizontally, cutting the metal according to submitted specifications. This process is also known as the shearing process.
Next comes the punching process, where the holes in the angle are made in accordance with the order requirements. The punching process can be done on a hydraulic press or any electric motor-powered machine.
The last stage is the bending of the steel to form the desired angle. In some machines, this is done through heat treatment. In others, it is done through a series of rollers and presses that push the metal into a specific angle.
Each type of the angle-making machine fulfills a distinct purpose in angle production. Here are some types:
Angle Roll Bending Machine:
This machine is specifically designed to roll steel angle posts into arcs or circular shapes. A CNC control unit ensures that the angles are accurate and the machine can bend materials of varying thicknesses. In a 3-roll bending machine, two lower rolls are fixed, and one upper roll moves vertically down to clamp the material between the three rolls. The material is then fed through the machine unrolling and bending into the desired angle. The process may be repeated to achieve more angles.
Angle Cutting Machine/Guillotine:
Also known as the angle iron cutting machine, it uses hydraulic or electric power to cut steel angles of varying thicknesses. This machine produces straight cuts and is used to cut angles to length before they are bent from the steel.
Angle Punching Machine:
This machine can punch holes of various sizes and shapes in the steel angle. It uses hydraulic power and processes steel angles into different forms and shapes through punching. The angle punching machine does the portholes before the steel angle is bent.
Welding Machine for Steel Angles:
A welding machine for steel angles does the welding on the steel angles once they have been cut and bent into the desired angles. It joins together various steel materials by applying heat and pressure. There are different types of welding machines used in angle production, including MIG, TIG, and arc welding machines. These may be semi-automatic or fully automated depending on the order requirement.
Steel Angle Forming Machine:
Angle forming machines use hydraulic power to form the angles from steel into various shapes according to the requirement. They can bend, cut, and punch holes in steel angles to complete the process.
Roller quantity and combination
The roller configuration may be a standalone machine or combined with other units as a multi-functional steel angle rolling machine. The combination aims to roll steel angles of various specifications and complete additional processes such as cold bending or trimming. Depending on the setup, the number, type, and arrangement of the rollers may vary to accommodate specific industrial requirements.
Suitable material
The material used in manufacturing steel angle rolling machines determines their strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. Common materials include low alloy high-strength steel, manganese steel, and cast iron. For instance, alloy cast iron combines high strength and good wear resistance, extending the machine's service life, especially in high-demand industrial settings. Choosing the appropriate material for the angle steel rolling machine is crucial for its efficient performance and longevity in industrial operations.
Regular Inspection and Cleaning
Periodically check all parts to make sure there are no loose or damaged pieces. In particular, do a thorough inspection of the rolls and the bearing. Schedule routine inspections to observe the machine's operating condition, which can help find problems early. Clean the entire machine regularly to prevent impurities from damaging the rolls and bearings.
Lubrication
Always keep the machine well-lubricated. Use the proper lubricating oil to ensure the bearings work smoothly and extend their lifespan.
Maintenance of Components
Pay special attention to roll maintenance, observing for wear and tear or damage. If the angle rolls face wear and tear, they should be repaired or replaced promptly to ensure the machine's normal operation. Additionally, maintain the level and cleanliness of lubricating oil and coolant in the pump to ensure sufficient and smooth lubrication and cooling for the rolling process.
Regular Adjustments
Adjust the relative positions of the rolls as required according to the process needs. Regularly test and adjust the rolling pressure and torque to ensure the machine operates under ideal conditions.
Dust and Moisture Prevention
Cover the machine with a tarp during prolonged periods of non-use to prevent dust and moisture from entering. Keep the working environment clean, dry, and free of corrosive substances to prolong the machine's service life.
Construction industry:
A steel angle making machine is widely used in the construction industry to manufacture steel angles for different types of steel structural frames. Steel angles are also commonly used as beams and supports for wall bracings, roof trusses, lintels, frames, etc. Now they are mainly used for building multi-story commercial and residential properties, factories, warehouses, and infrastructural projects such as bridges, highways, dams, power plants, etc.
Steel fabrication shops:
Fabrication shops use the steel angle making machine to produce custom steel angles according to customers' specifications for shape, size, or thickness. The custom steel angles can also be available with surface finishes and other accessories. They are used for various applications, including support structures, frames, brackets, mounts, etc. The shop may also use a steel angle cutting and drilling machine to pre-cut and drill holes in the custom steel angles before delivery to save customers time when using the products.
Sign manufacturers:
Steel angles are used in constructing sign mounts and support structures because of their excellent strength and durability. Steel sign frames can be made from steel angles. They are now available in different kinds, such as angle iron sign posts.
Machinery industry:
Steel angles are the main components of many types of industrial machines and equipment.
Transportation industry:
Steel angles are used in many parts of different kinds of transportation, including trains, trucks, ships, and airplanes.
Furniture industry:
Steel angles can also be used in some kinds of furniture, such as industrial-style coffee table frames, shelf brackets, etc.
