SCHLEBACH – Precision, Flexibility, and German Engineering at Its Best
The QUADRO profiling machine range brings true versatility to metal profiling. It’s designed for workshops that need flexibility, speed, and consistently top-quality results.
QUADRO Profiling machine
German precision > Kiwi practicality > Unlimited flexibility.
The Schlebach QUADRO is a world-class rollforming machine built for roofers, fabricators, and sheet metal professionals who demand top performance and total flexibility. Whether you’re producing standing seam, snap seam, or façade profiles — the QUADRO delivers speed, accuracy, and reliability that keep your projects moving.
Fast Profile Changeovers
The QUADRO’s clever cassette system lets you switch between profiles in just minutes. Each cassette contains 10 or 12 forming stations, designed for quick release and simple retooling. That means less downtime and more productivity. You can also add new cassettes or accessories anytime to suit future jobs — it’s a machine that grows with your business.
Swivelling Cassette Design
A standout feature is the swivelling cassette, with rollers mounted on both sides. This allows you to run two profiles from the same cassette — for example, roof and façade profiles. One operator can flip between them in under two minutes, without tools. You can even adjust the seam height from 25 to 38 mm, or change from Standing Seam to Snap Seam in about five minutes.
Built for the Real World
The QUADRO sits on a heavy-duty mobile frame with lockable castors, forklift pockets, and lifting eyes for easy transport. It’s made for both workshop and on-site use, giving you full flexibility wherever you’re working. Hinged safety covers keep everything protected yet easy to access for setup or maintenance.
Precision Feeding and Cutting
Sheet infeed width is adjustable from 300 to 800 mm via a smooth handwheel system. Ball-bearing guides keep material tracking perfectly straight. The integrated cross-cutting shear features hardened roller blades for clean, burr-free cuts, and can handle panels as short as 700 mm (or even shorter with optional cutters).
Smart Automation
A PLC touchscreen control makes operation simple and efficient. Just enter your panel length and quantity, and the machine takes care of the rest. The automatic feed, forming, and cutting cycle runs at up to 14 m/min (20 m/min optional), producing consistently accurate panels with minimal manual input.
Reliable, Proven Performance
Like every Schlebach machine, the QUADRO is built to last — engineered in Germany, trusted worldwide. It delivers precise, repeatable results day after day, job after job, with minimal maintenance.

The big difference of the QUADRO-KS variant is its ability to incline/angle the cassette, cut the strip at an angle, and produce tapered lengths in one pass, conical profiling.
. In practical terms:
-
It can feed the metal strip, cut it at an angle, and then profile it — all in one pass.
-
That means it’s particularly suited for long, conically-shaped profiles such as for domes, tent roofs or other curved roof-shell applications, and also long conical “fitting strips” (Passbahnen) where the width or shape changes along length.
-
It supports standard roof and façade profiles too (given its heritage from the QUADRO series), but the “KS” variant adds the conical capability.
So in short, if you need sheet-metal profiling for architectural components where the profile doesn’t have a constant width but is tapered, flared or conical, the QUADRO-KS is a strong fit.

For the production of conical profile webs, the QUADRO-KS is additionally equipped with an LS longitudinal cut-off device in the infeed area. This allows the conical longitudinal cut to be made before profiling.
In this case, the strip is transported, cut at an angle, and profiled in a single operation, irrespective of the profile shape.
This results in a possible field of application, e.g. the economical production of long, conical profile webs for dome or tent roof shapes, or also long conical fitting webs.

QUADRO ACCESSORIES
Additional material guide for single-sided profile shaping of panels. The installation of the guideboy on any of the Schlebach profile shaping machine infeed guides requires little effort.
The Guideboy prevents the sheet material from shifting towards the centre of the machine during single-sided profile shaping operations. The required lateral force across the profiling direction may be adjusted by means of the directional angle, as well as an increase of the contact pressure on the sheet metal.
Damage to the material surface is ruled out by the use of high-quality pressure rollers with a special rubber coating.
Slitting device for burr-free slitting of coil material before profile shaping. The LS can save time, especially when long-standing seam sheets are being profiled from existing coil widths. This will also dramatically reduce the variety of coil widths that have to be carried in stock, which also results in a reduction in storage costs.
The cutting head is adjustable across the profiling direction to permit edge trimming of the infeed material to the required width. The blades of the cutting head are made of high-quality tool steel to provide maximum service life. Because of the maintenance-friendly design, the cutting discs may be replaced or reground with very little effort when they have worn down.
Ribbing attachment to shape longitudinal ribs with a width of 25 mm and a depth of approximately 1.1 mm into the visible surface of profiled panels. The ribbing attachment consists of a guide unit, upper and lower ribbing rollers with brackets. The ribbing attachments are equipped with high-quality ribbing rollers on ball bearings to ensure maximum protection of the surface of the panels being profiled. The ribbing attachments are continuo usly adjustable across the profile shaping direction. This ensures that the distance of the ribs that are pressed into the panels may be adjusted as required.
Note: The profiling of ribs is not possible on conical shapes.
Ribbing attachment to shape longitudinal ribs with a width of 58 mm and a depth of approximately 1.1 mm into the visible surface of profiled panels. The ribbing attachment consists of a guide unit, upper and lower ribbing rollers with brackets. The ribbing attachments are equipped with high-quality ribbing rollers on ball bearings to ensure maximum protection of the surface of the panels being profiled. The ribbing attachments are continuously adjustable across the profile shaping direction.
Note: The profiling of ribs is not possible on conical shapes.
Ribbing attachment to shape round ribs with a width of 8 mm and a depth of approximately 2.2 mm into the visible surface of profiled panels. The ribbing attachment consists of a guide unit, upper and lower ribbing rollers with brackets. The ribbing attachments are equipped with high-quality ribbing rollers on ball bearings to ensure maximum protection of the surface of the panels being profiled. The ribbing attachments are continuously adjustable across the profile shaping direction. This ensures that the distance of the ribs that are pressed into the panels may be adjusted as required.
Note: The profiling of ribs is not possible on conical shapes.
A striation unit to create small vertical striations with a width of 20 mm and an adjustable depth of 1 – 3 mm. The distance between the individual striations is at least 50 mm. The striation unit consists of a guiding unit as well as four upper and five lower striation rollers. Striation units are equipped with high-quality ball-bearing striation rollers that provide maximum protection to the surface of the profiled plates. The striation unit is continuously adjustable perpendicular to the profiling direction. This means that the distance between the striations that are impregnated into the plates is variable.
Note: The profiling of striations is not possible on conical shapes.
A perforation device to perforate the visible area of profiled panels of Soffit-panels or reveal panels. The purpose of perforation these panels are, for example, to provide rear ventilation or sound proofing on facades or ceiling coverings. Depending on the width of the profiled panel, either one or two perforations with 4 perforation rows each may be applied to the panels. The perforation unit is flanged to the exit area of the QUADRO profile shaping machine. Two powered perforation units with 4 perforation rows are mounted on a sturdy welded frame. The unit is driven by a chain that is connected to the last station of the profiling cassette. The perforation tools are made of wear-resistant tool steel. The perforation unit is also suitable for retrofitting.
Note: The perforating of conical shapes is not possible.

Cross-cutting assembly for oblique cuts on profiled panels is made of non-ferrous metals. The assembly consists of a stable welded base frame, a swivelling table with carriage and a high-quality circular saw made by Bosch that is supplied with special blades for copper (type SBC with a hard chrome finish) or alternatively aluminium and titanium zinc (type SBS with steam-treated surface). The cutting angle across the profile shaping direction is continuously adjustable from 0° to ±60°. The connecting components required to flange the assembly to a profile shaping machine are delivered with the QA. The cross-cutting assembly can be installed after the profile shaping unit of different profile shaping machines. The existing length-measuring device may be used.
The motor-driven cutting unit for standing seam profiles for a height of 25 mm is installed downstream from the QUADRO profiling machine. The cutting unit is programmed and integrated into the process using the control system of the profiling machine. The cutting guide is set using the width adjustment system of the profiling machine.
Using the cutting unit, it is possible to cut even short profile cladding panels starting at 100 mm without flash or twisting.
The STA unit is flanged to the exit area of the QUADRO profile shaping machine. After the profile shaping process and when the lateral profiling areas have been notched by an AK–QUAD, profiled panels may be cut at an angle ranging from 0° to ±60°. The Quadro machine controller calculates the eventual cutting position using the programmed profile parameters. When the desired length is reached, the machine controller will stop the QUADRO’s profiling process. The operator adjusts the cutting unit for the required angle. Now the profile plate is clamped to the supporting table of the cutting unit by means of the manual hold-down device, and then it is cut with the manual roller shear.
