Machine Role
Product Overview
One compact workstation for preparing thin sheet and duct panels.
The LQ-15 combines appropriate thin-sheet shearing, profile slitting and reinforcement beading before downstream folding, lock forming, flanging and assembly. Combining these preparation steps reduces transfers between separate machines when a workshop handles short runs, mixed parts or site work.
A reel shearing beading machine is useful to HVAC duct manufacturers, contractors and light-fabrication workshops that need flexible sheet preparation rather than a fully automatic duct line. It works as a sheet metal cutting and beading machine for HVAC production support; it does not replace the other machines required to finish a duct.
Compared with a standalone reel shear machine, the combined workstation also provides matched beading and slitting-profile capability for suitable sheet. Buyers should select it from the required operations and tooling rather than from a product label alone.
What Problems Can It Solve?
Practical answers to common thin-sheet preparation gaps.
The machine is most useful when a workshop needs flexible cutting and reinforcement beading without adding a large production system.
02
Flat duct sheets need reinforcement
Form beads that help add rigidity to suitable panels before folding and assembly.
03
Small workshops have limited floor space
Use a compact machine where a larger automated line would not match the available space or production pattern.
04
Job-site work needs flexible preparation
Support confirmed thin-sheet preparation close to the installation workflow.

Confirmed Machine Functions
Sheet Metal Cutting, Slitting and Beading
The LQ-15 combines related preparation operations, but each workpiece still needs material, thickness and tooling confirmation.
01
Sheet Metal Cutting
Prepare suitable thin sheet for later duct-panel operations. This sheet metal cutting and beading machine is intended for confirmed light-gauge work within the published LQ-15 range.
02
Reinforcement Beading
Form reinforcement beads that help stiffen appropriate HVAC panels before folding, locking and assembly. This is the core forming role of the thin sheet metal beading machine.
03
Sheet Metal Slitting
The verified LQ-15 function field includes beading / slitting profiles. As a sheet metal beading and slitting machine, its exact profile must be matched to the supplied roller or tooling.
04
Roller Shear and Beading Machine Profiles
Profile rollers create the selected bead or groove geometry. For any sheet metal shearing and beading machine, the exact result must match the supplied tooling rather than an assumed universal profile.

Materials
Materials for LQ-15 Processing Review
The published 0.5–1.2 mm range is machine data, not a promise that every listed material can run at the same maximum thickness. Confirm material grade, strength and tooling before quotation.
01
Galvanized Sheet
Common in HVAC duct work; confirm coating, base-metal thickness and required profile before selection.
02
Mild Steel Sheet
Suitable applications depend on actual grade, tensile strength, thickness and installed tooling.
03
Stainless Steel Sheet
Its higher forming resistance requires separate capacity confirmation rather than assuming the mild-steel range.
04
Aluminum Sheet
Confirm alloy, temper, surface protection and profile geometry to limit marking or distortion.
05
Color Steel Sheet
Review coating sensitivity and tooling contact before cutting or forming pre-painted material.
06
Thin Metal Plate
Other thin plate should be evaluated from material strength, thickness and the required bead or slit profile.
From Sheet to Reinforced Duct Panel
