Automatic Light Gauge Steel Stud and Track Roll Forming Machine 40–100 m/min

The C Stud and U Track Roll Forming Machine is an automated steel framing production line designed to manufacture C-shaped metal studs, U tracks, ceiling channels, and furring channels for modern construction applications. Using continuous cold roll forming technology, the machine converts galvanized steel and other metal coils into accurately formed framing profiles with consistent dimensions and reliable quality.

With automatic punching, roll forming, cutting, and PLC control, this metal stud roll forming machine provides an efficient solution for manufacturers supplying drywall partitions, suspended ceilings, light steel buildings, prefabricated houses, and commercial construction projects.

Efficient Production of C Studs and U Tracks

Light gauge steel framing has become an important alternative to traditional construction materials because steel profiles offer stable dimensions, good durability, and resistance to termites, moisture, mold, and deformation.

The C stud and U track system is widely used to build lightweight partition walls. C studs provide the vertical framing members, while U tracks are installed horizontally to form the top and bottom connections.

These metal framing profiles are suitable for:

• Drywall partition systems

• Interior wall framing

• Suspended ceiling systems

• Commercial buildings

• Residential construction

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities

• Schools and universities

• Hotels and office buildings

• Modular and prefabricated buildings

For manufacturers serving different construction markets, a flexible light gauge steel framing machine can produce multiple profile sizes on one production line.

Multi-Profile Metal Stud Roll Forming System

One of the main advantages of this metal stud and track roll forming machine is its ability to manufacture different framing profiles according to customer requirements.

Typical products include:

Profile	Dimensions (A × B)	Thickness
U Track	50 × 40 mm	0.6 mm
U Track	75 × 40 mm	0.6 / 0.8 mm
U Track	100 × 40 mm	0.6 / 0.8 mm
U Track	150 × 40 mm	0.7 / 1.0 mm
C Stud	48.5 × 50 mm	0.6 / 0.8 mm
C Stud	73.5 × 50 mm	0.6 / 0.7 / 0.8 / 1.0 mm
C Stud	98.5 × 50 mm	0.6 / 0.7 / 0.8 / 1.0 mm
C Stud	148.5 × 50 mm	0.6 / 0.7 / 0.8 / 1.0 mm
Ceiling Channel	38 × 12 mm	1.0 / 1.2 mm
Furring Channel	50 × 32 mm	0.5 mm
Furring Channel	75 × 32 mm	0.5 mm
Furring Channel	75 × 35 mm	0.55 mm

Custom profile dimensions can also be developed according to customer drawings, project specifications, or local construction standards. This makes the C channel steel roll forming machine suitable for manufacturers that need to supply different framing systems.

Automatic Punching, Forming and Cutting

The production line starts with a hydraulic automatic decoiler that feeds the metal coil into the forming section. The strip passes through multiple forming stations, where precision rollers gradually transform the flat material into the required C or U profile.

When service holes, installation holes, or other openings are required, the integrated punching system can process them automatically during production. After forming, the hydraulic cutting unit cuts the finished profiles according to the preset length.

This integrated workflow reduces secondary processing and allows manufacturers to achieve continuous production with fewer manual operations.

The PLC control system also allows operators to adjust production parameters, manage different profile specifications, and monitor the production process through the control interface.

High-Speed Light Gauge Steel Framing Machine

For high-volume production, manufacturing speed is an important consideration. This light gauge steel stud machine can achieve a production speed of approximately 40–100 m/min, depending on the selected profile, material, punching requirements, and production configuration.

The automated production process helps manufacturers increase output while reducing manual intervention. Precision forming rollers maintain stable profile dimensions throughout the production process, which is particularly important when studs and tracks must fit together accurately during installation.

The machine uses a gear transmission system and is equipped with two 7.5 kW main motors, providing stable power for continuous roll forming.

Applications of C Stud and U Track Profiles

The finished products from this C stud roll forming machine can be used in various steel framing systems.

For drywall walls, C studs and U tracks form the basic framework for partition construction. Their lightweight structure and standardized dimensions make them suitable for offices, apartments, hotels, hospitals, schools, and other commercial buildings.

For ceiling applications, the machine can also manufacture ceiling channels and furring channels used as supporting members in suspended ceiling systems.

In light steel and prefabricated construction, steel framing profiles can be applied to walls, roofs, floors, window reinforcement, and other structural components. The finished profiles can therefore support a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial building projects.

Reliable Equipment for Steel Framing Production

As demand for lightweight and prefabricated construction continues to expand, manufacturers need equipment that can produce accurate framing components efficiently and consistently.

The C Stud and U Track Roll Forming Machine combines continuous roll forming, automatic punching, hydraulic cutting, and PLC control into one production system. It can manufacture a variety of metal framing profiles for drywall partitions, ceilings, light gauge steel buildings, and prefabricated construction.

Whether you need a standard metal stud roll forming machine or a customized light gauge steel framing machine, the production line can be configured according to your target profile and manufacturing requirements.
