Dahlstrom Supplies Supermill® for Door Frame Profiles

Dahlstrom recently supplied a customer with a 2DFR Supermill® Roll Forming system for production of steel door frames.  The system is equipped with motorized, programmable adjustment, so the operator can select the profile to be run, by choosing from the included part master database, or input the profile dimensions on the operator’s touchscreen.  All feature dimensions, as well as over-bending, flare compensation and material thickness can be stored and adjusted by the main touchscreen control.  The system was supplied with an entry feed conveyor that automatically transferred the sheet blank from the customer’s upstream coil processing line. The supermill system is also available as a stand-alone machine, so customers may load notched or sheet blanks from a discrete turret press, laser or cut-to-length process.


In addition to door frames, the Supermill® systems have been supplied for a variety of applications in the construction, furniture, lighting, and mechanical component markets.  For more information contact dahlstrom@formtekgroup.com or call (216) 292-6300, or visit www.dahlstromusa.com
