KFS Framemaker Roll Forming Machines
Ideal roll formers for stud and track suppliers, off-site construction, commercial and residential steel framing fabricators, modular contractors, and panelized construction. Optimized for structural load-bearing applications.
HIGHLIGHTS
Better Performance
Proven reliable performance and the speed of up to 7,200 ft/hour (2,200 m/hr) with a servo (electric) drive and the ability to process steel coil with yield strength of 65 ksi (450 MPa) & tensile strength of 75 ksi (520 MPa).
Expert Precision
Equipped with Hydraulic cut-off and punch tools for precise operations. And a Servo (electric) drive system for high precision.
Better Efficiency
With an integrated digital batch controller, you get a more efficient process management. The heavy gauge structural stud and track forming machine forms six (6) web widths and three (3) flange heights in 14 to 20 Ga steel.
AUTOMATION
Supports automated feeding, cutting, and punching for increased productivity.
Compatibility Standards
Meets ASTM A1008 and ASTM 653 standards for Grade 33 structural steel.
Multi-Software Compatibility
Knudson framing machine controllers are compatible with Strucsoft MWF, ScotSteel, Framebuilder MRD, and Vertex.
