Scottsdale Construction Systems is proud to introduce the KFS Framemaker 1420 G3, the newest addition to our family of roll forming machines, a true milestone in steel framing technology and steel framing automation. Designed for today’s builders, engineers, and fabricators, this leading roll forming system redefines what’s possible in cold-formed steel framing construction.
The KFS Framemaker 1420 G3 combines the precision of advanced roll forming machines, the intelligence of digital steel framing automation, and the performance of a leading roll forming system engineered for reliability and speed. Built for global standards in cold-formed steel, it delivers efficiency, consistency, and strength across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
What Are KFS Framemaker Roll Forming Machines?
The KFS Framemaker series of roll forming machines is globally known for producing structural members in cold-formed steel construction. These machines are engineered to fabricate both lipped and unlipped channel sections used in high-strength steel framing, allowing builders to produce load-bearing and non-load-bearing components for cold-formed steel walls, partitions, and more.
With the G3 generation, this leading roll forming system now offers unparalleled steel framing automation, giving fabricators faster setups, higher throughput, and tighter tolerances. Designed to fabricate cold-formed steel members that meet AISI S100, CSA 136, EN 1993-1-3, and AS/NZ 4600 standards, the KFS Framemaker ensures every profile meets stringent global requirements in steel framing systems.
The KFS Framemaker 1420 G3 Roll Forming Machines: A New Benchmark
The new KFS Framemaker 1420 G3 roll forming machine builds upon the success of previous multi-profile machines with advanced automation and faster operation. It fabricates Cee-sections and U-sections ranging from 3.5 in. to 12 in. deep and 1.63 in. to 3.00 in. wide. This next-generation roll forming machine features:
- 6× faster changeover compared to the industry average—2.5× faster than the G2—thanks to automated servo-controlled roller adjustment.
- A 10% higher operating speed than the G2, ensuring greater production capacity and improved steel framing automation.
- A fully integrated ecoDecoiler that uses gravity-feed technology, eliminating the need for power and reducing energy use.
These enhancements make the KFS Framemaker 1420 G3 the most efficient and sustainable roll forming machine for manufacturers seeking to improve productivity and lower operating costs.
