Cable Tray Roll Forming Machine for Efficient Cable Management Production

Reliable Cable Tray Roll Forming Solution for Industrial Applications

The Cable Tray Roll Forming Machine is designed for manufacturers who require continuous production of high-quality metal cable trays. This production line integrates material feeding, leveling, punching, roll forming, conveying, and final collection into one complete system.

Compared with traditional fabrication methods, this machine allows operators to produce cable trays with stable dimensions, consistent quality, and improved production efficiency. Meanwhile, the adjustable forming structure enables the equipment to process different sizes of cable trays according to customer requirements.

Zhongtuo designs this cable tray production line with a practical structure and reliable components, helping customers reduce manual operations and improve overall manufacturing efficiency. The machine is suitable for galvanized steel coils and supports customized cable tray widths for different engineering projects.

Complete Production Process and Machine Structure

The Cable Tray Roll Forming Machine adopts a continuous production process to improve working efficiency. The complete workflow includes:

Hydraulic Decoiling → Material Leveling → Cutting → Punching → Conveyor Transfer → Roll Forming → Finished Product Collection

At the beginning of production, the hydraulic decoiler automatically expands and releases the steel coil. The leveling unit then corrects material deformation and ensures accurate feeding. After that, the punching system creates required holes before the sheet enters the forming section.

Furthermore, the roll forming system gradually shapes the flat metal strip into the required cable tray profile through multiple forming stations. Finally, the conveyor system transfers finished products smoothly to the collection table, making the whole production process more convenient and efficient.

Advanced Forming System for Different Cable Tray Sizes

The main forming section is the core part of the production line. This machine uses a multi-station roller forming structure, which provides stable forming performance and accurate profile dimensions.

The forming rollers are manufactured from high-quality 45# steel and receive heat treatment and chrome plating to improve surface hardness and wear resistance. Therefore, the rollers maintain better performance during long-term production.

The frame adjustment design allows operators to change production sizes by adjusting the forming structure. This feature helps manufacturers produce various cable tray specifications with one machine instead of purchasing multiple production lines.

The main forming specifications include:

Item	Technical Specification
Product Name	Cable Tray Roll Forming Machine
Material	Galvanized Steel Coil
Coil Thickness	0.8-1.5 mm
Coil Width Range	200-650 mm
Maximum Yield Strength	≤235 MPa
Forming Stations	28 Stations
Roller Material	45# Steel with Heat Treatment & Chrome Plating
Shaft Diameter	70 mm
Production Speed	8-16 m/min

High Precision Punching and Intelligent Control System

To meet different cable tray applications, the production line is equipped with a hydraulic punching unit. The punching system uses dedicated molds made from Cr12MoV material with heat treatment, which provides excellent durability and stable punching performance.

The punching unit can complete hole processing before roll forming, allowing the final cable tray products to achieve accurate hole positions and clean edges.

Meanwhile, the electrical control system improves operation convenience. The machine uses a PLC control system with Delta PLC, Delta touch screen, Delta inverter, Omron encoder, and Schneider electrical components. Operators can easily adjust production parameters, monitor machine operation, and control production length through the control panel.

Efficient Configuration and Customized Production Support

In addition to the main forming system, this cable tray production line includes a 7-ton hydraulic decoiler, conveyor system, and run-out table. The hydraulic decoiler supports stable coil loading and improves feeding efficiency during continuous production.

The conveyor system transfers formed products smoothly, while the receiving table helps workers collect finished cable trays conveniently.

Moreover, Zhongtuo provides customized solutions based on different customer requirements, including cable tray sizes, punching patterns, and production configurations. With flexible design options and professional technical support, this machine can adapt to various cable management manufacturing projects.

The Cable Tray Roll Forming Machine is an ideal choice for companies producing cable trays for construction, electrical installation, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects.
