About Rollformers & Pittsburgh Machines

Rollformers, Roll Formers, or Lockformers are machines that use a series of rolls to create a locking joint that securely connects two pieces of sheet metal. The most common joints/profiles are Pittsburgh Lock, ACME Double Seam, Drive Cleat, and Right Angle. Rollformers also come as S & Drive machines and “Male and Female Button Lock”. Onix Machinery offers RAMS Sheet Metal Equipment made in the USA. A Pittsburgh Lockformer is a sheet metal forming machine used to create precise and durable ductwork.

How Does a Pittsburgh Lockformer Work?

Pittsburgh machines are usually rated for 24 to 28-gauge mild steel or 20 to 26-gauge mild steel. The Pittsburgh Lockformer’s first roll forms a 180-degree bend in the metal, while the second roll forms a pocket used to secure the joint. The third roll forms a second 180-degree bend in the metal, which locks the joint in place. RAMS Sheet Metal Pittsburgh Machines come in both configurations. The 24 to 28-gauge Pittsburgh Machine is extremely portable, can be taken to the job site, and can be utilized anywhere as it only needs 110V power to operate. The 20 to 26-gauge Pittsburgh Machine is quick and reliable and will become an important machine for your business’s success.

Why Pittsburgh Lockformers Are the Best

Since its release circa 1937-1939, the Pittsburgh Lock Roll Former has been the industry standard for a practical lock-forming machine because of its speed. The Pittsburgh Lock Seam is a type of commonly used longitudinal seam. These seams were once manufactured in a brake or press brake. Today, they are made with roll-forming machines that form the flange on one of the pieces and the pocket on the other. Onix Machinery Sales Ltd. provides easy-to-understand quotes for all your Pittsburgh Machines needs. We offer add-ons that will complement your business, such as Power Flangers and Drive Cleat Rolls, to mention a few. Give us a call or send an email, and we will assist you with all your rollformer needs.

Pittsburgh Machines Safety and Maintenance Tips

As with any fabrication machinery, Pittsburgh Machines should be used with the utmost care. Here are some simple guidelines:

Always wear the proper protective gear, such as safety glasses and ear protection.

Make sure clothes are tight-fitting so they don’t get snagged by the rolls of the Pittsburgh Machine.

Before every use, conduct a thorough equipment inspection and keep the work area organized and free of obstacles and debris.

Anyone using a Pittsburgh Machine must be aware of these safety rules and be properly trained to operate this equipment. As far as maintenance goes, always keep the surface of the rollers clean. Clean and lubricate every 4 hours of operation into the six oil fittings at the back of the machine.
