Drawer Slide Roll Forming Machine
What Is a Drawer Slide Roll Forming Machine?
A drawer slide roll forming machine produces the precision steel profiles used as drawer slides and runners in furniture manufacturing. Drawer slides are formed from cold-rolled steel strip (0.6-1.0 mm) into C or omega sections with ball-bearing raceways or simple sliding surfaces. The machine runs continuous strip through 8-14 stations and cuts sections to length, after which the buyer adds rollers, stoppers and finishes.
Typical Sections
- Runner sections: the fixed and moving parts of a drawer slide system.
- Omega/C sections: furniture frame and rail profiles.
- Precision requirement: raceway geometry must be consistent, so roller quality and frame rigidity matter most.
Machine Configuration
| Material | Cold rolled steel strip |
| Thickness | 0.6-1.0 mm |
| Forming speed | 15-30 m/min |
| Forming stations | 8-14 sets |

Applications
Furniture hardware manufacturers produce drawer slides and furniture frame profiles for the office furniture, kitchen cabinet and wardrobe industries in China and export markets. High-speed strip forming keeps unit cost low at volume.
FAQ
What does a drawer slide machine produce?
Continuous steel sections for drawer slides and furniture rails, cut to length, from cold-rolled strip.
What thickness does it run?
0.6-1.0 mm cold-rolled steel strip, depending on the slide system.
How fast is it?
15-30 m/min, suitable for high-volume furniture hardware production.
Is high precision possible?
Yes — hardened rollers and a rigid frame hold the raceway geometry; servo cutting holds ±1 mm length.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ is 1 set, tooled to your slide section.
