ASSEMBLY DETAILS
Steel Structure Assembly Types Used in Light Steel Structures
Light Steel Structures are preferred due to their flexible usage areas, low-cost production, quick construction capabilities, and increased resistance to natural disasters like earthquakes. The light steel construction system has diverse applications, ranging from modular buildings and tiny houses to single-story and multi-story constructions, as well as large-scale housing projects and village constructions.
TRUSS
You can also produce the roof trusses of the steel structure with UNBAK LSF machines. After selecting one of the various roof models and creating it in the design model program, the design software generates the steel truss.
WALL PANEL
In structures, the interior and exterior walls are automatically calculated in the building design program, taking into account details like doors and windows. The steel wall panels are then created as frames. The generated wall data is uploaded to the machine via flash drive or network connection.
LATTICE JOIST
In light steel structures, there are several methods for creating floors between levels. The most common and well-known method is the Lattice Joist. In trusses, cross braces are frequently placed to form long panels, which are then joined side by side to create a sturdy floor between levels.
FLOOR JOIST
In light steel structures, there are several methods for creating floors between levels. The quickest to produce is the intermediate floor chassis. This system is used exclusively in multi-housing production, mass housing projects, high-rise buildings, and steel structures with wide spans like factories. Due to its areas of application, it is more suitable for high-level professional productions.
WIDE PRODUCT RANGE
Striking Design
UNBAK Light Steel Structure Machines are built on details that prioritize design alongside functionality. Our machine portfolio includes light steel structure machines suitable for the needs of every light steel structure project.
Lip Notch
Lip notch is applied to facilitate the assembly of profiles that will interlock during installation. The lips are automatically applied during production.
Swage
Swage – Section Reduction, is automatically applied to specific areas of the profile to facilitate easier assembly. During installation, this allows profiles to easily interlock. This punch ensures that the cladding or drywall sits completely flush against the frame and provides enhanced final durability at the intersections of the studs and plates.
Dimple
Flange Punching (both right and left sides of the profile) creates small holes in the center of the flanges. This system is used to correctly position the joined profiles and ensure that the heads of the countersunk bolts are flush with the profile wall. This allows the drywall to sit smoothly against the frame.
Service Hole
Service Holes are automatically applied to wall panels in areas specified during the design phase. These holes are created in the panels during design where cables or plumbing are required, and they are automatically implemented on the profiles during production. The cables or pipes to be used are run through these holes.
Truss End - Chamfer Cut
The produced profile can have this feature applied at either the beginning or the end. It is used to provide a better and easier connection at angular joints. During assembly, the part of the profile that touches the base is rounded, making angled installations like Roof Trusses much easier and more secure.
Web Notch
Base Notching is automatically applied to the profile to facilitate easy assembly during installation when profiles interlock with each other. This punch is applied to the base area of the profiles during production.
Mid Tab – Floor Joist
A die is essential for easy assembly of intermediate floor chassis profiles with each other. After applying the die to the sheet, it is bent to 90 degrees with a hand tool during assembly and secured with three screws. This ensures high strength and quick assembly.
Swaged Service Hole – Floor Joist
Recessed Service Hole is automatically applied to wall panels in areas specified during design. In places requiring cables or plumbing, service holes are created in the panels during design, and these holes are automatically applied to the profiles during production. The cables or pipes to be used are routed through these holes.
Fnalge Holes Floor Joist
The Flange Punch system creates small holes in the middle of the right and left sides of the profile. It is used to correctly position the joined profiles and ensure that the heads of the countersunk bolts are flush with the profile wall.
Special Punch Portfolio – Special Punches
Over the years, our company has designed a unique portfolio of dies that differ from standard options. You can select the die that best suits your needs from our optional die portfolio and use it with any of our machines.
New Special Punch Production – Special Punches
Completely custom die systems can be designed for use in your projects. The designed dies can be easily used with the machine you request.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common issues customers experience after purchasing the product?
Our machine is user-friendly, but an operator without sufficient experience or training may find it difficult to set up the machine properly. Therefore, the initial training we provide at our facility plays a crucial role in ensuring the longevity of the machine and error-free production for the buyer's operator.What is your company’s maximum commitment time for initiating the resolution of an issue?
When you become a part of the UNBAK Family, a WhatsApp group is created as a priority to quickly manage our after-sales services. Issues such as production errors and operator questions are addressed within the first 5-15 minutes. In the second phase, we remotely connect to the machine and inspect it through the software, fixing any issues that can be corrected immediately. In the third phase, we conduct a video call via WhatsApp for problem identification and resolution. If a spare part replacement is deemed necessary during this phase, it will be shipped from our stock to your location, no matter where you are in the world. If the problem cannot be resolved in the third phase or requires faster intervention, a visit to your workplace is planned and carried out.In an emergency, our technician team will visit your factory to resolve the issue on-site.We prefer to train your operator at our facility before the delivery of your machine. Typically, we invite the customer’s operator to our facility just before the machine's delivery.Can a specific production sequence be programmed for home assemblies (walls, beams, and trusses)?
The sequence of operations can be arranged through VertexBD, Revit-Strucsoft, and Framebuilder MDR programs.Is there software that stops the machine when each wall/beam/truss package is completed?
Yes, there is. The machine will stop and give a warning 10 meters before the project cycle is completed.Does your company offer or know of third parties that can take our home design and production guidelines to create the frame machine file? This is likely a service we will consider.
Our software partners are VertexBD, Revit-Strucsoft, and Framebuilder MDR. Training on design software is provided by us to a person designated by the machine owner.
