Product overview
We design roll forming lines for uprights used in pallet racking and industrial mezzanine floors, where surface quality, tight tolerances and repeatability are essential for correct assembly and secure interlocking of components. Our systems deliver configurable process flows to produce ready-to-assemble uprights to industrial specifications.

Roll forming solutions and benefits
Gasparini roll forming solutions combine production speed, fast setup flexibility and software integration to maximize line efficiency.

• Quality and tolerances: Surface finish and tight dimensional tolerances are maintained regardless of material thickness or production speed, ensuring uprights that fit and interlock precisely.
• Spring-back control: Cold roll forming with integrated cutting reduces head-to-tail effect, producing straighter and more stable profiles.
• Ultra-fast setup: Rapid section changes and retooling (TWIN: section change in under 5 minutes; PRO: setup in under 1 hour; interchangeable cassettes: retooling in under 1 hour).
• Software and connectivity: Dedicated HMI interfaces, ERP integration, flexible import/export formats for production and reporting, and intuitive architecture for fast startups and format changes.

Auxiliary technologies integrated in-line
Gasparini integrates auxiliary technologies directly into the roll forming line to provide a complete process and finished product. Typical in-line processes for uprights include:

• Straightening system
• Punching system
• Cutting system

Optional in-line equipment
Optional equipment increases efficiency and machine availability while reducing changeover times:

• Automatic coil loading system
• Sheet joining unit
• Quick die change system
• Automatic unloading system
• Automatic stacking, packaging, strapping and labeling system
