Applications
Residential Light Gauge Steel Framing
The MF1600 is the ideal production line for fabricating complete structural frameworks for single-family villas, townhouses, and low-rise residential projects. It easily outputs standard 89mm and 92mm load-bearing wall studs and tracks, providing structural rigidity and millimetric tolerances required for modern prefabricated homes.
Commercial Interior Partitions & Infill Wall Systems
For commercial office towers, hotels, and shopping malls, the machine produces lightweight 75mm and 92mm steel studs. These non-load-bearing profiles are perfect for high-efficiency interior partition framing, drywall tracks, and acoustic wall systems, ensuring fast on-site installation.
Off-Site Modular Housing & Bathroom Pods
The MF1600 provides the millimetric accuracy required by the off-site modular construction sector. It is commonly used to roll-form the precise steel skeletons for volumetric modular pods, portable cabins, container houses, and prefabricated bathroom units, where seamless component interlocking is non-negotiable.
Light-Span Roof Trusses & Floor Joists
By adjusting the PLC to wider profiles like 140mm or 150mm, the MF1600 fabricates deep web channels suited for lightweight roof truss systems and floor joists. These rigid profiles offer high bending resistance and structural stability across medium spans in low-rise buildings.
