T&H Lemont Inc. recently designed, built, and shipped a model RA11-18 roll forming machine for a customer that specializes in retail displays. The machine is being used to produce a kick plate, a width of contoured steel that protects the base of most display racks and cabinets.

The machine design was based on the company’s standard model RA11, customized with 18 stations, 1.5-in. shafts, and 14-in. roll spacing. It features 11-in. horizontal centers and vertical centers that are adjustable from 6-1/4 to 7-1/2 in. The roll former processes mild steel in thicknesses from 0.031 to 0.035 in. at speeds up to 100 FPM. Metal Roof Tile Ridge Cap Sheet Roll Forming Machine

Its welded steel base uses plate-type construction. The shafts are made from high-strength alloy steel, carburized, and ground. Precision tapered cup/cone bearings can bear both radial and axial loads. The hardened gears run in an oil bath for smooth, quiet operation.
