A garage door track machine typically refers to specialized equipment used to manufacture or bend the steel tracks that guide a garage door as it opens and closes, which is typically an "L" or "U" shape. The machine passes a flat sheet of metal through a series of rollers, gradually bending it into the desired track shape.

How Garage Door Track Machines Work

• Unwinding Metal Coils:

  • The primary function of a decoiler is to unwind metal coils smoothly and evenly. These coils are often tightly wound and can be heavy, making manual unwinding impractical. The decoiler automates the process, ensuring consistent feeding into the production line.
  • Decoilers control the tension of the metal as it is unwound, preventing the metal from becoming too loose (which can cause kinks or deformation) or too tight (which can cause the coil to spring back or become difficult to feed).
    

• Roll Forming Process:

  • The process begins with a flat metal sheet (typically steel or aluminum) fed through the rollers of a roll forming machine. As the sheet passes through the rollers, the machine gradually bends and shapes it into a continuous track. The metal is carefully formed to match the specific profile (L-shaped or U-shaped) required for the garage door system

• Cutting and Slotted Holes:

  • After forming, the track is cut to length using cutting machines. Additionally, slotting or punching machines are used to create any required holes in the track. This can include slotted holes for adjustability or specific mounting points for hardware like brackets, rollers, or end bearings.

 Garage door tracks are typically made of steel or galvanized metal and come in various sizes depending on the type and size of the door. They are designed to guide the door as it moves up and down, ensuring smooth and efficient operation, also we can customized other tracks of garage door

Types of Garage Door Tracks:

1. Standard Vertical Tracks:

   • These tracks run vertically along the sides of the garage door opening. The door rollers travel along these tracks as the door opens and closes.
   • Vertical tracks are commonly used in traditional and sectional garage doors.

2. Horizontal Tracks:

   • Horizontal tracks are mounted along the ceiling of the garage and guide the door after it has moved vertically. The door rollers move along the horizontal tracks to fully open or close the door.
   • Horizontal tracks can be curved to create a transition between vertical and horizontal movement. This is common in systems that require low headroom or high-lift configurations.

3. Curved or High-Lift Tracks:

   • These tracks are used in custom setups where the door opens more vertically before transitioning into a horizontal movement. This configuration is often used when more vertical clearance is required, or when commercial doors need to be mounted in spaces with specific height restrictions.
   • Common in settings like warehouses or industrial spaces.

4. Radius Tracks:

   • These tracks have a curved shape and are used for more specialized applications like side-mount systems or certain commercial garage doors.
   • Radius tracks allow for custom movements, often used when maximizing ceiling space or creating more clearance for large vehicles.
