1. Production Line Overview
- A versatile roll forming solution designed for cable tray
manufacturers, electrical system integrators, and panel system
fabricators. Ideal for clients seeking flexibility, precision, and
space-saving dual-profile capability.
2. Profile Description
- Formed from galvanized steel with 1.0–1.5mm thickness, this
ladder-type cable tray features punched slots for mounting and
ventilation. Widely used in electrical cable routing and industrial
facility installations.

The process begins with decoiling and leveling, followed by servo
feeding into a hydraulic punching unit for pre-punched holes. The
double-row guiding system aligns the strip into a gear-box driven
roll former with dual sets of forming tools. The tracking cutter
then accurately shears the formed trays according to length.
4. Technical Parameters
Machine | Analysis |
Manual Decoiler | Holds 3T steel coil; cost-efficient for manual loading. |
Suitable for low to medium production speed lines. |
Leveling Machine | 3 over 4 structure ensures flatness for forming precision. |
Independent unit offers better tension control. |
Servo Feeder | Feeds coil into punching unit with accuracy and programmable
length. |
Hydraulic Punching Machine | One-station design for pre-punching mounting holes. |
Independent structure reduces vibration during punching. |
Guiding system | Aligns material to left or right row as required. |
Roll Former | Wall panel base with gear box drive ensures stability and power. |
Dual-tooling setup allows flexible profile changeover. |
Tracking Hydraulic Cutter | Equipped with two cutting dies for each tray design. |
Cuts during movement, enhancing cutting precision and speed. |
5. Key Focus
- Dual-row forming structure allows flexible tooling on both sides.
- Punching before forming improves precision and minimizes
deformation.
- Flying cutter ensures clean, synchronized cuts at high speed.
- Ideal for cable tray producers needing quick profile switchovers.
- Compact and efficient line layout for space-saving production.
