Gerd Wolff Trapeze Lines are engineered for the continuous and high-precision production of trapezoidal metal roofing and wall-cladding profiles from steel and non-ferrous metal coils. The complete production system integrates coil handling, material feeding, precision roll forming, length measurement, cutting, conveying, and stacking into a synchronized automated production line.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, our Trapeze Lines provide consistent profile geometry, dimensional accuracy, reliable material flow, and high production efficiency. Each line is engineered according to the required profile geometry, material characteristics, sheet thickness, coil width, production speed, and finished panel dimensions.
The forming process is performed through multiple precision-engineered roller stations, gradually transforming the flat strip into the specified trapezoidal profile while maintaining controlled material flow and surface quality throughout the production cycle.
Our Trapeze Lines utilize progressive roll forming technology to produce consistent trapezoidal profiles with repeatable dimensions and stable geometric accuracy.
The line can be configured with high-capacity decoilers, straightening and feeding systems, servo-controlled material handling, precision forming stations, automatic length measurement, hydraulic or flying cutting systems, and automatic stacking equipment.
The forming tooling is engineered according to the approved customer profile drawing. This allows the system to accommodate different profile heights, widths, rib geometries, and material specifications.
Depending on the application, multi-profile or cassette-type configurations can also be implemented to provide increased production flexibility and faster product changeover.
Gerd Wolff Trapeze Lines are designed as fully integrated production systems in which mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and automation technologies operate as one coordinated platform.
The automation system controls and synchronizes material feeding, roll forming, length measurement, cutting, conveying, and stacking processes.
PLC-based control combined with HMI and motion-control technology provides operators with direct access to production parameters, recipe management, machine status, alarms, diagnostics, and production information.
This integrated architecture enables stable operation, repeatable production quality, reduced setup time, and efficient utilization of raw material.
The production process begins with controlled coil loading and decoiling. The decoiler provides stable and continuous material supply while maintaining proper strip alignment and tension.
The strip passes through guiding, leveling, and feeding systems to establish a stable material position before entering the forming section.
The material is gradually shaped through a series of precision roller stations. Each forming stage contributes to the final trapezoidal geometry while controlling material deformation and surface quality.
An encoder-based measuring system continuously tracks material movement and provides accurate length information to the control system. When the programmed length is reached, the cutting system separates the finished panel without compromising profile geometry.
Finished profiles are transferred through the discharge conveyor to the receiving or automatic stacking system. Depending on the application, stacking equipment can automatically align and organize panels for handling, packaging, and shipment.
Every Gerd Wolff Trapeze Line is engineered around the customer’s production requirements.
Key design parameters include:
This engineering-driven approach allows each line to be optimized for its intended application rather than relying on a standard machine configuration.
