Technical FAQ Center: Industry Terms Explained
- What is the main material used for rollers?
GCr15 high carbon chromium bearing steel, quenched to HRC 60-62, offers superior wear and corrosion resistance especially for long production runs vs. conventional 45# steel.
- What forming accuracy can I expect?
The line ensures ±0.2mm precise profile, thanks to CNC-processed rollers, in-line laser QC and tight servo control.
- Are there certification standards for export?
Yes, each machine ships with ISO9001, CE (for EU), ANSI (for USA) compliance documents and may be supplied with SGS/BV factory audit reports.
- What installation space is required?
Typical one-line system: 16-26m (L) × 1.8m (W) × 1.5m (H), varies by station count and auxiliary devices.
