Rollformer Software
Producing light gauge steel trusses in minutes
Once frames are designed using ScotSteel 3D design software, they are exported to our two production software packages – ScotPanel and ScotTruss.
They are checked before being automatically cut to length, punched, notched and swaged by our CNC-controlled rollformer.
Operating ScotRF rollformer software is easy and provides a powerful tool with constant visual representation of the extrusion process.
Our ScotRF Truss software performs a bridge between the design/engineering software and our Series 600 rollformer. It’s highly intuitive, interpreting the geometric data from the design and engineering software and converting it into machine commands for the rollformer. Light gauge steel trusses can be produced in minutes.
ScotPanel & ScotTruss production software
Simple in design, powerful in application
ScotPanel
ScotPanel is the most advanced and intuitive production software available. It acts as a conduit between ScotSteel and the Series 500 and 700 rollformer interpreting the design data into precise machine instructions.
Default settings allow instant, accurate configuration of the machine regardless of complexity whilst on-screen graphics deliver clear images of the panel being produced.
It also delivers real time machine diagnostics for optimal performance and colour coded graphics to indicate the order of each piece on the assembly line.

Scotruss
Similar in features to ScotPanel, ScotTruss software provides comprehensive and powerful editing tools. It enables an operator to make emergency alterations to the truss without revisiting the design.
Advanced, real time features include ink jet printing (optional), user defined truss orders, a hydraulic operation counter and speed control placing it at the forefront of light gauge steel production software.
