More information

The QUADRO machine is supported by a robust base frame that is equipped with four wheels. Two of the wheels are equipped with brakes to stop the machine from moving unintentionally. The scope of delivery also includes lifting eyes as well as forklift pockets that are installed on the frame for the safe transportation of the machine on site. This ensures that the machine provides utmost flexibility, both operationally and on the construction site. Hinged covers secured by safety devices protect the machine and the operator and facilitate adjustments.

The infeed width is continuously adjustable from 300 mm to 800 mm with the well proven system employing a spindle and a hand wheel. The right and left side of the QUADRO machines infeed area are equipped with robust infeed guides on ball-bearings that feed the strip material safely and securely. These are separately adjustable to adapt to the outer edges of each profile. As a result, the strip will run smoothly and without backlash.

The cross-cutting disc shear in the infeed area consists of a cutting head with hardened roller blades that may be sharpened or even replaced with little effort if necessary. The cutting head is mounted on a maintenance-free linear guide and it is driven by a toothed belt. This guarantees a clean, burr-free cut. The shortest panel that can be produces with this separation process is about 700 mm. Additional dividing devices are available for installation in the outlet area of the QUADRO machine where shorter panels from approximately 100 mm must be produced. Depending on the material and the type of profile, cutting may be performed by a QA60 (only for non-ferrous metals) or a hydraulic segmented separating shear (for double standing seam 25).

The exchangeable cassette system is arranged in the profiling area. Depending on the type of profile it may accommodate cassettes with 10 or 12 profiling stations. Retooling for different profiles is accomplished in no time by rotating or replacing the cassette. When rotating the cassette, the changeover only requires a few minutes and does not involve the use of additional equipment. The replacement of the cassette requires tools such as a forklift, a table-mounted crane or an overhead crane. Even in this case, the maximum time required is less than 20 minutes. The hardened and surface treated profile rollers of the cassettes are pre-set to material gauges of between 0.5 – 0.7 mm in the factory (except for special or facade profiles they may be set to either 0.6 – 0.8 mm or 0.8 – 1.0 mm). As with all Schlebach profile shaping machines, narrow panels, oblique panels and conical panels may easily be produced in just 2 operations and without additional tools.

The machine is equipped with a PLC to automatically process material in various lengths and quantities. Control inputs are entered via a menu-driven touch panel that is located in the infeed area of the machine or that may be arranged on a rail between the infeed and outlet areas where it can be moved. The program with the profile shaping runs may be executed automatically or in single cycle mode.

Profiling from a coil requires that the desired length and the item count are entered first via the touch panel. In the machine, manually fed strip material is transported by driven transport rollers. When the programmed length is reached, the frequency converter controlled drive is stopped and the crosscut shear executes an automatic cut. The overshoot, i.e. the tolerance in length is about 1 – 2 mm. In automatic mode, the next strip is started automatically. In single cycle mode, the operator is responsible for the restart. When the last profile has been cut from the strip, the material feed may be stopped by means of the clutch lever before the strip is removed manually from the infeed area.

Accessories

Guideboy

Additional material guide for single-sided profile shaping of panels. The installation of the guideboy on any of the Schlebach profile shaping machine infeed guides requires little effort.

The Guideboy prevents the sheet material from shifting towards the centre of the machine during single-sided profile shaping operations. The required lateral force across the profiling direction may be adjusted by means of the directional angle, as well as an increase of the contact pressure on the sheet metal.

Damage to the material surface is ruled out by the use of high quality pressure rollers with a special rubber coating.

Slitting device LS

Slitting device for burr-free slitting of coil material before profile shaping. The LS can save time, especially when long standing seam sheets are being profiled from existing coil widths. This will also dramatically reduce the variety of coil widths that have to be carried in stock, which also results in a reduction in storage costs.

The cutting head is adjustable across the profiling direction to permit edge trimming of the infeed material to the required width. The blades of the cutting head are made of high quality tool steel to provide maximum service life. Because of the maintenance-friendly design, the cutting discs may be replaced or reground with very little effort when they have worn down.

Concave curving attachment

Concave curving attachment for the production of concave folded profile panels with a maximum height of 25 mm and a minimum bending radius of 3000 mm. The concave curving attachment is attached to the exit area of the profiling machine and is suitable for retrofitting. The folded profiles produced by means of the profiing machine is automatically fed to the concave curving attachment and bent to the desired radius by adjustable pressure rollers. The concave curving attachment consists of two bending assemblies, one for the side lacking overlap as well as one for the overlapping side of the profile.

Note: Concave curving is only possible at parallel profiled shapes.

Ribbing attachment 25 mm

Ribbing attachment 58 mm

Ribbing attachment to shape longitudinal ribs with a width of 58 mm and a depth of approx. 1.1 mm into the visible surface of profiled panels. The ribbing attachment consists of a guide unit, upper and lower ribbing rollers with brackets. The ribbing attachments are equipped with high-quality ribbing rollers on ball-bearings to ensure maximum protection of the surface of the panels being profiled. The ribbing attachments are continuously adjustable across the profile shaping direction.

Note: The profiling of ribs is not possible on conical shapes.

Pencil ribbing attachment

Ribbing attachment to shape round ribs with a width of 8 mm and a depth of approximately 2.2 mm into the visible surface of profiled panels. The ribbing attachment consists of a guide unit, upper and lower ribbing rollers with brackets. The ribbing attachments are equipped with high-quality ribbing rollers on ball-bearings to ensure maximum protection of the surface of the panels being profiled. The ribbing attachments are continuously adjustable across the profile shaping direction. This ensures that the distance of the ribs that are pressed into the panels may be adjusted as required.

Note: The profiling of ribs is not possible on conical shapes.

Striation unit

A striation unit to create small vertical striations with a width of 20 mm and an adjustable depth of 1 – 3 mm. The distance between the individual striation is at least 50 mm. The striation unit consists of a guiding unit as well as four upper and five lower striation rollers. Striation units are equipped with high-quality ball-bearing striation rollers that provide maximum protection to the surface of the profiled plates. The striation unit is continuously adjustable perpendicular to the profiling direction. This means that the distance between the striations that are impregnated into the plates is variable.

Note: The profiling of striations is not possible on conical shapes.

Perforation unit

A perforation device to perforate the visible area of profiled panels of Soffit-panels or reveal panels. The purpose of perforation these panels are for example to provide rear ventilation or sound proofing on facades or ceiling coverings. Depending on the width of the profiled panel, either one or two perforations with 4 perforation rows each may be applied to the panels. The perforation unit is flanged to the exit area of the QUADRO profile shaping machine. Two powered perforation units with 4 perforation rows are mounted on a sturdy welded frame. The unit is driven by a chain which is connected to the last station of the profiling cassette. The perforation tools are made of wear-resistant tool steel. The perforation unit is also suitable for retrofitting.

Note: The perforating of conical shapes is not possible.

V-ribbing and perforation unit

A perforation device to perforate and/or apply a V-rib to the visible area of profiled panels of Soffit-panels or reveal panels. The purpose of perforation these panels are for example to provide rear ventilation or sound proofing on facades or ceiling coverings. The V-ribbing provides the visible surface with optical divisions. Depending on the width of the profiled panel, either one or two perforations with 4 perforation rows each may be applied to the panels. The perforations may be combined with one or two V-ribs. Alternatively, the V-rib may be used without perforations. The unit is flanged to the exit area of the Quadro profiling machine. Two powered perforation units with 4 perforation rows and two V-ribs are mounted on a sturdy welded frame. The unit is driven by a chain which is connected to the last station of the profiling cassette. The perforation tools are made of wear-resistant tool steel. The V-ribs made of high quality steel surface treated special steel. The unit is also suitable for retrofitting.

Note: The perforating and/or profiling of V-ribs of conical shapes is not possible.

Cross-cutting assembly QA60

Cross-cutting assembly for oblique cuts on profiled panels is made of non-ferrous metals. The assembly consists of a stable welded base frame, a swivelling table with carriage and a high-quality circular saw made by Bosch that is supplied with special blades for copper (type SBC with a hard chrome finish) or alternatively aluminium and titanium zinc (type SBS with steam-treated surface). The cutting angle across the profile shaping direction is continuously adjustable from 0° to ±60°. The connecting components required to flange the assembly to a profile shaping machine are delivered with the QA. The cross-cutting assembly can be installed after the profile shaping unit of different profile shaping machines. The existing length measuring device may be used.

Segment knife cutting unit SMTE25

The motor-driven cutting unit for standing seam profiles for height 25 mm is installed downstream from the QUADRO profiling machine. The cutting unit is programmed and integrated into the process using the control system of the profiling machine. The cutting guide is set using the width adjustment system of the profiling machine.

Using the cutting unit, it is possible to cut even short profile cladding panels starting at 100 mm without flash or twisting.

Oblique cutting system STA

Oblique cutting system STA-M

The STA-M unit is flanged to the exit area of the QUADRO profile shaping machine. After the profile shaping process and when the lateral profiling areas having been notched by an AK – QUAD, profiled panels may be cut at an angle ranging from 0° to ±60°. The Quadro machine controller calculates the eventual cutting position using the programmed profile parameters. When the desired length is reached, the machine controller will stop the QUADRO’s profiling process. The operator adjusts the cutting unit for the required angle. Now the profile plate is clamped to the supporting table of the cutting unit by means of the manual hold-down device, then it is cut with the motorised roller shear by the operator pressing a button.
