Soffit Machines
Features
- Frame Construction: The frame construction is a weldment of structural steel welded into a rigid frame. The frame is machined to provide a true plane for the assembly of the forming stations. Adjustable feet are provided enabling the machine to be set perfectly level.
- Forming Stations: All the forming rolls coming into contact with the painted surface of the conductor pipe are hard chrome plated to insure long roll life and protect the finish on the pipe.
- Best Drive in the Industry: All the stations of the machines are driving stations, top and bottom. They are all spring loaded which creates a constant load on the material. The springs make our gutter machines the most versatile on the market allowing you to run different material with virtually no adjustments.
Perforation of the Profile
The machine will be equipped with a perforating station. Each panel section will include 5 separate lancing blades on top and mating rings on the bottom. This will create a loop perforation that will be pressed down. The perforation is disabled by raising the upper section. Both the lancing knives and the lower rings can be replaced individually if they should be damaged. They will be made out of A-2 tool steel and then, they will be heat treated and ground for a higher precision.
Automatic Control
The machine can be provided with manual controls or fully automatic controls. Our automatic machines are equipped with the Grover Smart Digital Panel. you can run as many as 5 different jobs and the machine will run them automatically. The machine counts and runs preset quantities automatically. Length control is through an electronic measuring counter. The operator can program the length and the number of pieces to be run. When the operator presses the «START» button, the machine will run the pre-programmed length, stop, cut and restart. This cycle will automatically repeat until the «STOP» button is pressed or the pre-programmed number of pieces has been run. The operation of our downspout machine is very efficient.
Additional Features
- Air Clutch and Brake Drive: The use of an air clutch and brake enables the drive motor to run continuously. This is essential when making short pieces for producing elbows.
- Cutting Method: The soffit is cut with a pneumatically activated shear. This allows a clean cut and no distortion on the ends. Saw chips could foul electrical switches and blowback into the machine and stick to the driving rollers causing indentations in the finished product. With the Grover pneumatic shear, these problems are overcome.
- Safe: The exit shear makes a lot less noise than a regular saw. It is totally enclosed and the operator cannot get cut with the exit shear.
- Powder Coated Finish: Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading and wearing than other finishes.
