Engineered to deliver exceptional dimensional accuracy, high durability, and maximum operational efficiency for worldwide cold-formed steel projects.
The global construction sector is undergoing a profound paradigm shift. Driven by urban population expansion, tightening environmental policies, and a shortage of skilled manual labor, the demand for off-site prefabrication and industrialized construction methods has never been higher. Light Gauge Steel (LGS) framing systems, also recognized as Cold-Formed Steel (CFS), have emerged as a premier response to these modern structural requirements.
By utilizing high-tensile, galvanized steel coils, light gauge steel roll formers produce non-combustible, dimensionally stable structural components including studs, tracks, purlins, and headers. These components achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio, optimizing load distribution while maintaining design flexibility.
Providing robust, automated manufacturing systems designed for continuous, high-speed production.
As an established expert in cold-formed steel processing, XC (Xiongchang) provides integrated roll forming solutions. Our portfolio encompasses core production machinery for roofing, flooring, door systems, and structural framing elements, alongside the complete range of auxiliary pre-cut and post-cut systems necessary for efficient plant operation.
We maintain an in-house engineering and R&D department dedicated to simulating stresses and refining profile designs prior to CNC toolpath creation. This ensures that every roll former we deliver is optimized for long-term production and minimal maintenance.
XC designs and manufactures high-performance steel framing machinery engineered for diverse industrial sectors.
Roof panel, wall panel, and high-strength floor deck roll forming machines configured for modern commercial, residential, and industrial construction projects.
Automated C/Z purlin machinery and dynamic stud & track roll formers with rapid profile-switching, supporting variable gauge thickness adjustment.
Heavy-duty downspout, gutter, and fire-rated door frame roll forming systems designed for integration into specialized production facilities.
To ensure dimensional accuracy and consistent quality across all production lines, XC maintains a comprehensive suite of diagnostic and testing equipment. Every machine undergoes pre-shipment validation, testing roller alignment, hydraulic shearing performance, and control systems under load.
Our quality control protocols monitor raw material specifications and finish tolerances, ensuring that LGS components produced on our machines comply with structural and safety standards.
XC roll formers are deployed globally, manufacturing components that meet regional construction codes and standards.
Exporting roll formers globally requires a deep understanding of local construction codes. LGS framing produced by our machinery conforms to major international building codes, including:
Our control systems support standard industry file formats, enabling direct importing of design files from packages like Vertex BD, MWF, and Framecad. This direct path from digital model to roll former reduces programming errors and helps maintain design-to-production consistency.
At XC, we look beyond the initial sale to provide ongoing operational support. Our engineering teams assist with factory layout planning, electrical installation requirements, and commissioning to integrate the roll former into your production flow.
We offer comprehensive training programs covering operator safety, coil threading, parameter setting via PLC, and basic maintenance procedures.
Prompt response times with direct access to diagnostic technicians.
Standardized electrical and hydraulic components available globally.
XC is continuously developing and testing new features to increase output quality, automation, and efficiency.
Developing in-line sensors to detect variations in coil thickness and yield strength. Our goal is to enable automated roller height adjustments, helping maintain profile dimensions even with varying raw material quality.
Integrating dynamic, servo-driven flying shear and punching systems. This technology enables continuous profile cutting at line speeds up to 100 meters per minute without halting the forming rollers.
Developing remote IoT diagnostic tools to monitor motor load currents and hydraulic temperature patterns. This data will help predict maintenance needs, reducing unscheduled machine downtime.
Technical guidance and answers to common operational questions regarding cold-formed steel manufacturing.
Our roll forming machines utilize high-grade roller sets (Cr12Mov tool steel) engineered with a smooth lead-in section and multiple straightening rollers. The straightening unit can be manually or electronically adjusted to compensate for coil set and camber, ensuring that the finished studs and tracks remain straight, even when using slightly irregular coils.
XC C/Z interchangeable purlin machines are configured with an automated PLC-driven width adjustment system. The operator inputs the desired purlin web and flange dimensions on the touchscreen interface, and a servo motor adjusts the roller spacing, completing the profile transition within minutes.
Our control panels are compatible with industry-standard file outputs (such as CSV and TXT files) from popular framing design software like Vertex BD and MWF. These files are transferred via USB or ethernet, loading the precise hole punching and shearing coordinates directly to the PLC for automated production.
We provide on-site commissioning, machine installation, and staff training globally. Additionally, we support remote video diagnostics and ship replacement parts via express courier to help keep your production lines running with minimal downtime.
