Cable Tray Roll Forming Machine

Compared to traditional split bending, manual welding, and outdated simple rolling equipment, the integrated fully automatic cable tray forming machine leverages cold bending rolling forming, servo CNC control, and modular mold integration technology. It is compatible with various sheet materials including galvanized steel plates, cold-rolled steel plates, aluminum alloys, and stainless steel, covering all types of cable trays—trench-type, ladder-type, tray-type, and long-span type—and suitable for applications across building mechanical and electrical systems, new energy photovoltaics, rail transit, industrial plants, and municipal pipeline networks. With six core competitive advantages, it comprehensively addresses industry challenges such as low production capacity, poor accuracy, slow model updates, high consumable costs, elevated labor expenses, and high defect rates in cable tray manufacturing.

Integrated closed-loop production has significantly improved production capacity efficiency.

The system integrates all processing steps—including coil unrolling, leveling, servo punching, continuous rolling forming, bending, flying saw cutting, and material collection—into a single automated process, eliminating the traditional multi-unit workflow of sheet cutting, bending, and drilling, and enabling one-stop automated production from coil feeding to finished product output.

Highly efficient with adjustable processing speed: Conventional models achieve a forming rate of 6–10 m/min, ideal for mass-produced standardized orders, with a daily output capacity of 8,000–12,000 meters of finished cable trays—over three times higher than traditional modular manufacturing methods.

Zero process-wait loss: Equipped with a synchronized flying-cutting system that performs continuous cutting during forming, eliminating the need for machine stops or material interruptions and preventing sheet waste and time wastage caused by startup/stop cycles.

Optimal staffing requirements: Each production line requires only one operator to handle material feeding, parameter adjustment, and finished product storage, eliminating the need for additional roles such as bending, drilling, or shaping workers, thereby significantly reducing team size.

High-precision CNC molding ensures zero defects in product compatibility.

Equipped with an imported PLC CNC system and servo-driven feed positioning system, combined with a thickened, heat-treated integrated frame and high-precision alloy quenching rollers, it ensures precise control over profile dimensions, hole positions, and bending angles from the outset, meeting both standardized project acceptance requirements and on-site seamless assembly demands.

Standardized dimensional specifications: Cable tray width, height, and side height tolerances ≤ ±0.15 mm; hole positioning deviations ≤ ±0.2 mm; all bending angles are uniform with no variations; products within the same batch are fully interchangeable; no secondary grinding or hole modification required during on-site installation.

Non-destructive sheet forming: Utilizing a gradient multi-stage rolling process and progressive bending of sheets, this method effectively prevents issues such as cracking, paint peeling, surface bulging, and edge deformation, making it suitable for processing high-quality materials like color-coated sheets and stainless steel.

Mechanical load-bearing performance meets specifications: The integrated roll-forming and bending structure ensures that the finished cable tray exhibits superior bending and compressive strength compared to manually welded bent products, complying with national mechanical standards for large-span, heavy-load cable installation, with a quality inspection pass rate approaching 100%.

Modular and flexible configuration options, suitable for customized production across multiple product categories

The system employs a detachable standardized roller module combined with a servo-driven width-adjusting mechanism, overcoming the limitations of traditional equipment that confined each model to a single specification. It is designed for producing orders with diverse specifications, small batches, and customized requirements, effectively meeting the multi-category order demands of small and medium-sized manufacturing plants.

Quick interchangeable design: Electric servo system automatically adjusts width without disassembly; preset parameters can be selected with a single click to switch between standard 50–600 mm cable trays and various aperture sizes for ventilation or connection holes, reducing replacement time by 60% compared to traditional equipment.

Compatible with all product types: The system supports manufacturing of trough-type enclosed cable trays, stepped heat-dissipation cable trays, fire-resistant thickened cable trays, and custom-shaped side-reinforced cable trays, meeting requirements for national standards, non-standard specifications, and overseas customized orders.

Adaptive thickness for plates: The equipment features numerically controlled adjustable pressure and roller clearance, compatible with metal plates ranging from 0.8 mm to 2.5 mm in thickness, suitable for both lightweight civil cable trays and heavy-duty industrial cable trays.

Comprehensive process optimization for energy consumption reduction and cost control, delivering outstanding cost-effectiveness in long-term production.

By addressing three key aspects—raw materials, consumables, and operational maintenance—we reduce production costs, overcome the drawbacks of traditional manufacturing processes such as excessive waste, frequent rework, and high consumable consumption, and rapidly lower equipment investment expenses.

The raw material utilization rate is exceptionally high: Through CNC-controlled fixed-length cutting and precision punching layout, the edge waste rate is kept below 1.5%, significantly lower than the 8%-12% waste rate associated with manual bending, thereby substantially reducing coil material costs.

Eliminate secondary processing costs: The finished product has no burrs, no deformation, and hole positions comply with specifications, eliminating the need for subsequent grinding, shaping, welding repairs, or hole modifications, thereby saving on post-processing precision machining steps and associated consumables.

Low operational energy costs: The frequency-controlled energy-saving motor paired with the power system reduces no-load energy consumption by 20%; the rollers are made of wear-resistant alloy, doubling their service life and significantly reducing annual maintenance component replacement frequency.

Intelligent and user-friendly operation, lowering the technical barriers for workforce engagement.

Designed for the working environment of general manufacturing workers, it reduces reliance on technical expertise from operators and features an intelligent human-machine interaction system that enables quick mastery by beginners, thereby simplifying factory recruitment processes.

Parameter Memory for One-Click Production: The system includes built-in production parameters for all national standard cable trays, supports storage of custom non-standard parameters, and allows direct parameter retrieval for identical orders without repeated equipment calibration.

Automatic fault detection and self-diagnosis: Features automatic alarms for material jamming, material shortage, overload, or positioning deviation, along with shutdown protection. A pop-up window displays real-time troubleshooting solutions to quickly identify issues and minimize downtime for maintenance.

Zero-knowledge adaptation: The touch-based visual interface simplifies workflows, enabling ordinary operators to become proficient in just 1–2 days—eliminating the need for high-cost hiring of experienced bending or forming technicians.

The structure is robust and durable, designed for all-weather mass production operations.

The equipment’s body is constructed from thickened I-beams treated with full-weld stress-relief processing, ensuring structural stability and resistance to deformation. It is designed for 24/7 continuous mass production in factories and high-strength industrial applications, delivering extended service life.

Stable performance under fatigue conditions: Featuring a heavy-load transmission structure design, it maintains stable operation during prolonged high-frequency rolling and punching operations without body vibration or displacement, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy over extended production periods.

Multi-layer safety protection: Comprehensive safety configurations including feeding guardrails, emergency stop mechanisms, and photoelectric anti-chipping sensors, fully compliant with workshop safety production environmental assessment requirements and occupational safety standards.

High site adaptability: The integrated, space-efficient layout requires minimal floor area and can be seamlessly connected to automated palletizing and spraying production lines for network integration, making it ideal for retrofitting existing workshops or planning intelligent production lines in new facilities.
