Coil comes from an upper spool or cradle towards the back of our machine. To load the machine all one does is to slide the material between the stainless transition wheel guard and the transition wheel. At the bottom of the transition wheel is an Urethane drive roller that grabs the coil and drives it towards the main part of the machine. In the above photo you can see the material being formed into an U-shape as it heads towards the main part of the machine.

You can also see the aluminum side bars. Aluminum gives strength, durability, non-rusting and is lightweight--essential for portability and long life.

This Urethane drive system and transition wheel is essential into making sure the material enters the machine perfectly aligned with the rest of the machine. material goes between guides to form it properly to the drive wheels on the main part of the machine.

Here you can see the material being formed with the side rails and bottom guides as it leaves the Urethane feed system and goes into the main part of the machine. Underneath the rollers at top center of the picture are stainless drive rollers that propel the material evenly through the rst of the machine. Large DRIVE WHEEL can be seen in above picture and will be shown in next picture.

Here is the drive wheel from the top side of the machine. All covers have been removed for photo. At the bottom of the Drive Wheel you can see the material is held tightly by stainless guide rollers. This is one of our secrets to perfect pipe from our machine. (There are other secrets we can't tell you). The material is moving from the top right to bottom left which is the lockforming station. The lockforming station is where the bends that will end up being the back seam of the downspout will be bent.

The above photo shows the aluminum leaving the lockforming station. See the bends in the right and left side of the pipe that have been formed. In the rear you can see the Drive Wheel. It will leave the lockforming station and be gathered towards the final seaming rollers.

Below you can see the material moving towards the end of the machine. Guides on either side of the machine gather each side towards each other to bend them together into a strong consistent seam.

Towards the end of the machine you can see the final rollers of the machine. The shot below is a side shot which shows some of the rollers more clearly.

On the left of this picture you can see that the seam has been gathered and now is formed together, folded over, compressed, dimpled by the roller that looks like a sprocket, and then the corrogations put in by final corrogation roller. On far right hand side you can see the pipe entering our patent pending quadrashear.

The outside end of the machine can been seen here. You can see the tool-hardened inside shear blade and the pipe beginnign to come out. The handle of the shear sticks above the shear for easy access . Below the shear can be seen the easy access to the forward/reverse switch, and the aluminum channels th entire machine is built upon. These channels not only provide support and rigidity, but house the motor, gearhead drive reduction, and electrical system.

As pipe exits the machine the exit roll controls the direction of the machine. It can be adjusted from side to side to tweak any bow side to side and up and down to adjust the up and down bow. Underneath the shear can be seen the gearbox and motor of the machine safely hidden away under the machine. Easy access to the motor is obtained from side panels.

In the end we have a finished machine. Under 8' and only 650 pounds.
