The FRAMECAD ST925iT is a multi-profile cold-formed steel (CFS) roll forming machine built for structural and load-bearing framing applications. This 2023 unit is configured to run four distinct stud profiles — 3 5/8", 6", 8", and 12" — giving operators the flexibility to produce a broad range of member sizes on a single line without requiring separate dedicated machines for each profile.

Material capacity spans a thickness range of 27–80 mil, positioning this machine for mid-to-heavy gauge structural framing work. Steel grade capability is rated 50ksi–70ksi, meeting ASTM A653 specification — the standard governing zinc-coated (galvanized) or zinc-iron alloy-coated sheet steel widely required for structural CFS framing members in commercial and multi-story residential construction.

Coil slit width requirements scale with profile, ranging from 7.52" up to 16.88" across the four supported stud sizes — reflecting a versatile setup suited to shops running mixed production or multiple project types.

As a FRAMECAD-branded system, this machine is part of the FRAMECAD Steelwise (design) + Nexa (production) software ecosystem, giving buyers access to an established, industry-recognized production workflow.

The Howick FRAMA 7800 is a fully convertible frame, truss, and floor joist production machine, capable of running up to 5 set profile widths within a single compact base unit. Unlike traditional multi-profile roll-formers, the FRAMA 7800's convertible tooling design lets operators run a single profile size initially and add tooling sets for additional widths as production needs grow — avoiding the cost and complexity of a fixed multi-profile machine from day one.

This 2022 unit is a hybrid machine capable of producing frames, trusses, and floor joists from material between 16 and 12 gauge (1.85mm to 2.5mm), giving it strong versatility across residential and light commercial construction applications. The FRAMA 7800 is available in three configuration types — floor joist production, framing production, or a customized combination of frame and joist tooling — allowing the setup to be tailored to the buyer's production mix.

With 13 forming stages and a smaller footprint than comparable multi-profile machines, the FRAMA 7800 delivers higher product accuracy and reduced material wastage when changing section widths. As with all Howick FRAMA machines, components are computer-controlled for precision, and each part is dimpled and notched so frames self-clip together — no clamping, drilling, or jig required.

The machine is controlled via a Windows 10 touchscreen panel PC running FRAMA Machine Control software, with CSV file input. A 3.0-ton decoiler (6,600 lb capacity) is included, with hydraulic 3-jaw self-centering expansion and auto-pause at coil end.

The Howick FRAMA 5600 is a dedicated frame and truss production machine built around Howick's proven end-bearing stud detail, purpose-designed for load-bearing frame manufacturing. This 2021 unit is configured specifically for 5.5" profile production, well suited for shops running deeper structural members for load-bearing wall and floor framing applications.

The FRAMA 5600 handles material from 20 to 16 gauge (0.95mm to 1.55mm), giving it real capacity for heavier, load-bearing sections beyond typical light-gauge partition work. With 9 forming stages and a full standard tooling package — including truss end tool, service hole, web hole, bolt hole, lip notch, web notch, lip roller, dimple, swage, and end-bearing cut-off — the machine produces fully processed, ready-to-assemble components. Parts are dimpled and notched so frames self-clip together, eliminating the need for clamping, drilling, or a jig.

Production speeds run 1,312–2,620 ft/hr depending on component complexity, with a line speed of 98 ft/min. The machine is computer-controlled via a Windows 10 touchscreen panel PC running FRAMA Machine Control software, with CSV file input. A 3.0-ton decoiler (6,600 lb capacity) is included, with hydraulic 3-jaw self-centering expansion and auto-pause at coil end.

With a compact footprint of 11.2' x 2.5' x 4.6' and a weight of 5,300 lb, the FRAMA 5600 is built to maximize production efficiency without demanding excessive floor space.

This 2022 Howick FRAMA 6800 is a dedicated floor joist cassette manufacturing system, built to improve production and installation efficiency over traditional lattice floor systems. The machine forms material between 2.0mm and 2.5mm (14–13 gauge) — heavier gauge capacity than Howick's frame/truss-focused models — reflecting its purpose-built role in floor joist production.

The FRAMA 6800 features Howick's proprietary swaged service hole design for ducting and plumbing runs, along with a swage-and-tab joint detail that allows floor lining to sit flush against the joists. Floor cassettes produced on this machine can be built as modular units offsite or assembled piece by piece in existing structures.

With 10 forming stages, the machine is computer-controlled and produces fully processed components — dimpled, notched, and fastener-ready — eliminating the need for jigs, clamping, or drilling during assembly. It ships with 7 standard tools: swaged service hole, service hole, bolt hole, tab, lip roller, swage, and crimping cut-off. The unit is operated via a Windows 10 touch-screen panel PC running FRAMA Machine Control, with CSV input file support, and includes dual-head inkjet component marking.
