Cable Tray and Cable Trough Roll Forming Machines
cable tray machine · cable trough roll forming · cable bridge machine · perforated tray1. Tray, trough and bridge in one search
Buyers search cable tray machine, cable trough, cable bridge and perforated tray as if they were one mill. In the catalogue, the trough / U-channel cable-bridge line is the continuous roll-formed trough family. Perforated tray is another machine. Ladder tray is not this trough line.
This page keeps every power and thickness figure tied to the EN, U or YX quotation it came from. Where the source quotations conflict, the conflict stays visible.
2. Formed width and height class
| Dimension | Documented class |
|---|---|
| Formed width (trough 100–600) | ~100–600 mm class; YX can start from 50 mm |
| Height (EN table) | Often 50–200 mm |
| Height (YX) | Often 50–100 mm |
Width and height are quotation inputs. A 600 mm trough with 200 mm sides is not the same flower as a 100 × 50 U.
3. Pre-cut punch vs post-cut
Two configuration variants share the same trough family:
- Pre-cut then form — punch / cut upstream of the mill, then roll form the blank.
- Post-cut — form continuous strip, then cut (and punch as configured).
They are options on the trough family, not two different product families. The punch pattern, die set and cut length still have to match the drawing.
4. Speeds on labeled tables
| Stage (EN-side documentation) | Speed class |
|---|---|
| Forming | ~3–6 m/min |
| Decoil / feed | 0–10 (feed class on that table) |
| Pre-cut punch line | ~2–4 m/min |
The forming band is not a free “line speed” for every punch layout — pre-cut punch rate and forming rate are different stages.
5. Power: conflicting quotations, not one host kW
Catalogue files disagree on how power is packaged, so there is no one unique host kW for “cable tray machine.”
| Source / package | What that file says |
|---|---|
| EN | Hyd punch/cut ~15 kW + multi-motor form (not collapsed to one host number here) |
| U100-600 total package | ~94.5 kW package with host ~7.5 kW on that quotation |
| Egypt host | Host ~30 kW on that quotation |
| YX (~20 stands file) | Host ~22 kW on that quotation (see stands below) |
EN hyd punch/cut, U total package, Egypt host and YX host are different accounting units. Quoting “the” tray mill at one kW would mix those units.
6. Stands and thickness by source
| Source | Stands / host note | Thickness on that quotation |
|---|---|---|
| EN | ~22 stands | 0.8–2.0 mm (note on that quotation: can change to 0.5–1.0) |
| U | (see U100-600 package above) | 1.0–1.2 mm |
| YX | ~20 stands; host ~22 kW on that quotation | 1.0–2.0 mm |
Thickness ranges are not merged into one range. EN 0.8–2.0, U 1.0–1.2 and YX 1.0–2.0 stay as separate bands. The EN note that thickness can change to 0.5–1.0 is a variant note, not a new universal band.
7. What this trough line is not
- Perforated tray — another machine; hole field and tooling differ.
- Ladder tray — not this trough / U line.
- Fire-damper lines — damper blade / frame geometry, different encyclopedia.
- Cabinet / enclosure lines — panel and bend work, not cable trough.
8. Send the trough drawing
- Finished width × height × length class; YX-from-50 vs 100–600 class
- Thickness and grade — name the source band you need (EN / U / YX); each band stays separate
- Pre-cut punch then form, or post-cut
- Hole / slot pattern and whether perforated tray is actually required
- Whether ladder tray or covers are also in the order (separate lines)
- Site power and which quotation variant you are comparing — each variant keeps its own kW
9. Buyer FAQ
What is the host kW of a cable tray machine?
There is no single number on this page. EN uses hyd punch/cut ~15 kW plus multi-motor form; U100-600 shows total ~94.5 with host ~7.5; Egypt lists host ~30; one YX file lists host ~22. Quote from the drawing and the named package.
Is perforated tray the same mill with extra dies?
No. Perforated tray is another machine.
Can I run ladder tray on a trough line?
No. Ladder tray is not this trough line.
Pre-cut and post-cut — two product codes?
They are configuration variants of the same trough family, not two unrelated machines. Still specify which flow you need.
Speeds, stands, thickness and kW above come from EN, U100-600, Egypt and YX quotations. Conflicting host figures are left as conflicts.
