In engineering fields such as building mechanical and electrical systems, new energy photovoltaics, rail transit, and industrial plants, cable trays serve as essential components for ensuring proper cable installation, organization, and protection. With the standardization and scaling up of infrastructure projects, market demands have increased significantly regarding dimensional accuracy, product consistency, and production efficiency for trough-type, ladder-type, and tray-type cable trays. The traditional modular manufacturing approach—relying on separate processes like bending, punching, and cutting— suffers from numerous drawbacks including complex operations, high labor costs, significant product variations, and limited production capacity. In contrast, the hydraulic punching cable tray forming machine, as an integrated intelligent production system, combines multiple functions—including unwinding, leveling, roller pressing, hydraulic punching, and precision cutting—thereby revolutionizing cable tray manufacturing and becoming a core piece of equipment for modern cable tray manufacturers.

Core Advantages of the Device: Revolutionizing Traditional Cable Tray Manufacturing Methods

The most significant feature of the hydraulic punching cable tray forming machine lies in its seamless integration of independent punching and roll-forming processes, enabling fully automated continuous production and fundamentally addressing the limitations of traditional methods. Conventional production lines require first bending the plates into shape before manually transferring them to punching equipment for secondary processing—a process that not only increases material handling costs but also frequently leads to tray deformation, hole misalignment, and edge wear. Moreover, the errors introduced during this secondary processing often fail to meet the stringent standards required for high-end engineering projects.

This equipment is equipped with a high-precision hydraulic punching system that enables precise punching of slot holes, round holes, and mounting holes during the simultaneous roll-forming stage of sheet metal, achieving one-step formation without requiring secondary processing. The hydraulic power system delivers stable output pressure and uniform impact force, ensuring burr-free and edge-smoothed punching with precisely consistent hole spacing, completely eliminating defects such as misalignment or inconsistent hole sizes associated with manual punching. Additionally, the device employs variable frequency speed control combined with a CNC length-control system to accurately regulate cable tray length, bending angle, and punching positions, maintaining finished product dimensional accuracy within ±0.5 mm, making it fully suitable for high-standard construction applications including municipal projects, new energy power stations, and high-end industrial facilities.

Compared to traditional equipment, its production efficiency is 3–5 times higher. The entire production line requires only one operator, significantly reducing labor costs while substantially improving plate utilization rates and minimizing raw material waste, thereby enabling factories to achieve cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.

These dies are easy to install and remove, allowing quick model switching without specialized tools—enabling seamless production of cable trays in widths such as 200 mm, 300 mm, and 400 mm, whether slot-type or tray-type. This multi-functional design significantly enhances the equipment’s adaptability and flexibility.

The control system employs an industrial-grade PLC numerical control unit paired with a high-definition touchscreen, featuring a simple and intuitive operation interface that supports Chinese and English language switching. Operators can directly configure parameters such as cable tray length, hole spacing, production quantity, and forming speed on the screen, with the equipment automatically completing the entire production process. The system also includes automatic counting, fault alarm functionality, parameter memory retention, and one-touch reset capabilities, enabling new users to operate it effortlessly after brief training, thereby significantly reducing operational complexity and human error rates. Additionally, the equipment is equipped with multiple safety safeguards that effectively eliminate potential hazards during production and ensure stable line operation.

Complete production process: Integrated assembly line with no need for secondary processing

The hydraulic punching cable tray forming machine employs a fully automated closed-loop production process that requires no manual intervention throughout, ensuring a seamless and efficient workflow. The specific steps are as follows: coil unwinding and material feeding → plate leveling → precise servo-driven feeding → multi-stage roller pressing → synchronized hydraulic punching → CNC-controlled length-cutting → final product discharge and collection.

First, the uncoiler automatically dispenses the sheet material, while the leveling device precisely levels the plates to eliminate curling and uneven deformation, ensuring subsequent forming flatness. Next, the servo feeding system accurately delivers the plates, which are then progressively bent by multiple forming rollers in sequence, guaranteeing the cable tray has a uniform curvature, straight edges, and no cracking or deformation. During forming, the hydraulic punching system precisely positions itself to simultaneously punch installation holes and fixing holes on the side walls. Finally, the material is automatically cut according to preset dimensions, yielding finished products that are smooth and flat without requiring secondary processing such as grinding, hole filling, or edge trimming; they can be directly used for galvanizing, powder coating, or on-site installation, significantly reducing production time.
