OPM Automatic Profiling Machine for Structural Profiles: Precision and Efficiency in Profile Manufacturing

The OPM Automatic Profiling Machine for Structural Profiles is an advanced machine designed for the production of profiles for photovoltaic systems with a thickness of up to 2mm. Equipped with graphic software that minimizes operator errors, it allows on-screen visualization of the profile being produced, offering complete control over the process.

Main Features of the Automatic Profiling Machine

• Advanced software: enables dynamic calculation of dimensions to optimize processing, reducing error margins.
• Drilling preview: immediate visualization of the drilling to be performed, ensuring precision in the final result.
• Data upload from USB: allows the import of the work list, further optimizing productivity.

Machine Structure

The profiling machine is built with a welded and painted base, and features an advanced system of rollers, tape centering, hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The machine also includes:

• Lubrication system: for smooth and uninterrupted operation.
• Drilling and cutting units: hydraulic units for intermediate holes, slots, and precision cuts.
• Twist and straightening unit: corrects any deformations, ensuring a consistently perfect final product.
• Integrated PLC: the heart of the machine, it manages and optimizes the entire production process, monitoring active safeties and sensors.

Automated Production Process

The production process starts by entering the data into the PLC, which automatically manages the entire process. Once initiated:

1. The coil is loaded onto the motorized uncoiler.
2. The tape is processed to create holes and slots.
3. The profile passes through the roller and centering system for precise profiling.
4. A dedicated cutting unit performs the final cut, with a precision of ±1mm.

Production Monitoring and Safety

The profiling machine is equipped with photocells that monitor the actual production and ensure automatic stoppage in case of anomalies, such as tape depletion. The centralized management of electrical peripherals, through a dedicated electrical panel, enables quick diagnostics and easy maintenance.

The machine’s active and passive safety features, CE-certified, ensure protection during operation, allowing compliance with Italian and European regulations for tax benefits.

Optional Accessories

• Motorized uncoiler with a capacity of 2 tons, adjustable via inverter, and equipped with tape detection sensors to stop the machine in case of abnormal situations.
• Product collection table: located at the machine’s output, allows finished profiles to be unloaded via a pneumatic tilting system, with wheels for easy transport.
