Detailed Content
Our automated roll forming system is engineered to produce seismic drift tracks and angle struts that reliably connect exterior cold-formed steel curtain-wall studs to a building’s primary structural frame—especially when significant stand-off distances are required. Bypassing the main structure, these drift slide angle struts accommodate up to 2" of vertical movement (±1") and 2" of in-plane lateral drift (±1") without compromising performance.
Key Features of Seismic Drift Track Roll Forming Machine:
• ICC-ES Approved (Report #ESR-2049)
• Custom drift capacity: For lateral movements beyond 2", TSN engineers can tailor a solution
• Positive mechanical attachment at each stud, load-rated to building code requirements
• Friction-free vertical deflection with patented Step Bushing Technology
• Simplified assemblies—no loose friction-held parts or heavy deep-leg track
• Load-rated #12 screws for deflection connections
• Manufactured from 97 mil, G90-galvanized, 50 ksi cold-formed steel
Product Nomenclature:
Drift slide angle struts are designated by stud depth (inches × 100) followed by strut length (inches). Example: A 6"-deep stud with a 15" long strut becomes ZTRFM® DSLS600-15. For studs 6" deep and larger, specify “3-slot” when ordering to accommodate three screws & bushings.
Seismic Drift Track Benefits:
1. Fire-rated deflection system, UL classified in 80+ systems
2. Standard slotted track—up to 1½" vertical movement
3. Customizable shapes, slots, widths, and gauges
4. Positive anchorage for wall strength
5. Absorbs head-of-wall and floor movements
6. Integrates with traditional wall systems
7. Easy installation reduces labor costs
Machine Workflow:
• 3 ton double-head decoiler → loop guide
• 80 ton YangLi punching unit → loop guide
• Main roll forming line → stud & track punching station
• Conveyor table & stacker for finished lengths
Performance Highlights:
• Rigid welded frame for stable precision
• Pneumatic clutch-brake (dry/wet) for reliable operation
• Precision-ground gears & shafts for low noise
• Sliding-block guides with pneumatic balance for accuracy
• Hydraulic overload protection for tooling safety
• PLC-controlled feeding for single/multi-station stamping
• Dual stepless speed ranges to boost efficiency

This CFS Roll Forming equipment and seismic drift track Roll forming Machine deliver consistent, high-quality profiles with very tight tolerances, minimizing scrap and post-process labor. Studs and tracks can be cut to custom lengths on-line, further optimizing project workflow and reducing on-site adjustments.
CFS Roll Forming Process
Cold-formed steel coils—sourced from accredited service centers—feed directly into the CFS Roll Forming mill. The continuous roll forming operation produces studs, tracks, hat channels, and specialty profiles with high dimensional accuracy. Integrated punching and cut-off stations complete each profile to precise specifications. Custom in-line cutting options eliminate secondary processes, ensuring the seismic drift track Roll forming Machine meets even the tightest jobsite requirements.
