UNIQ^® CONTROL SYSTEM

The new UNIQ Controls system is not only a batch and length controller, it also offers new and improved reliability and safety features, an easier and more user-friendly interface, and is compliant with CE standards as well as OSHA requirements.

Our Rollforming Learning Center and New Tech Machinery YouTube channel house all sorts of educational resources on how to use the UNIQ Control System, how it works with your machine, and its capabilities. Also check out our other portable rollforming machine resources, and machine manuals for more information.

At this point, only new SSQII MultiPro Roof Panel Machines will come with UNIQ Control System. We currently don’t support the new control system to be retrofit or switched on any machines, but we still offer the PLC and NTM200 controllers.

The UNIQ Controls will know the exact length and quantity of the panels input into the system, if you want notching features added, and will direct the machine’s start drive, notching, and shear functions.

Cut lists can be put into the UNIQ Control System in three different ways: You can type the panel cut list on a computer and export it to the controller, input the cut list right on the touchscreen on the UNIQ Control System, or generate the cut list through AppliCad and import it into the controller.

With improved troubleshooting capabilities, the UNIQ Controls will allow machine operators to fix some machine problems on their own, reducing downtime on projects. Error messages will pop up on the touchscreen when diagnosing problems and include help pages and videos for user assistance.

As a secondary method of troubleshooting, there are indicator lights that will come on if a function of the machine isn’t occurring when it should be.

No, as long as you can run your portable rollformer, you can use the UNIQ Control System. There will be occasional software updates to the control system that we will send directly to you.

We will offer a simplified, non-technological version of the UNIQ Control System that doesn’t have the touchscreen or PLC technology, it will only have the push buttons and incorporate the interlock covers.

UNIQ Controls is also integrated with AppliCad software, making importing cut lists even easier and more accurate. The control system will take the cut list directly from AppliCad and import it into the machine automatically.

The AppliCad Roof Wizard software calculates exact quantities of the material you need based on the application of panels to the roof model. The software generates a cut list which feeds the panel cutting details right into your NTM machine control panel.

Please not that only a trial subscription is offered with the UNIQ Control System. The program is available for purchase after subscription ends. Check out this page for more information on how AppliCad works with your NTM portable rollforming machine.

Yes, we will continue to keep replacement parts and inventory for both the PLC and NTM200 controllers. We will also still offer service and support on all controllers.
