Cable tray and cover profile rolling forming machine

Product Introduction:
With its high production efficiency and flexible customization capabilities, this cable tray rolling forming machine has become a preferred equipment in the cable tray processing field. It maintains a stable working speed of 20-25 meters per minute, which can significantly improve mass production efficiency; meanwhile, it supports full-process customized design based on the accurate parameters provided by customers, perfectly adapting to diverse cable tray specification requirements.
Cable tray systems are used to support insulated cables required for power distribution, control, and communication. This mechanical support system provides support for cables, conduits, and insulated conductors needed for power distribution, control, signal instrumentation, and communication through a rigid structure. Metal cable trays are usually made of galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, with a variety of product specifications. This article takes small specifications of 50-400 mm as an example to demonstrate the equipment's design principle. Below is a cross-sectional view of the drawing for your reference:

Main Features:
1.High Degree of Automation: Reduce Labor Costs and Ensure Stable Processes
Automation is the core driver of modern manufacturing. This equipment is equipped with a Siemens PLC control system to realize full-process automated operation. From customer parameter input to material rolling forming and shear cutting, little manual intervention is required throughout the process — operators only need to complete parameter setting and operation status monitoring, which greatly reduces labor intensity while effectively minimizing human errors. For small-batch and multi-specification production needs, the automatic parameter switching function can also shorten the debugging time between orders, ensuring continuous and stable production.

2.High Production Efficiency: Accelerate Mass Production and Enhance Delivery Capacity
With a stable working speed of 20-25 meters per minute, the equipment far outperforms traditional processing equipment in terms of production efficiency. Taking 50-400 mm small-specification cable trays as an example, the equipment can complete the forming process of a standard-length tray in just a few seconds. Moreover, the continuous rolling process avoids downtime caused by intermittent processing. For manufacturing enterprises facing tight delivery schedules, this high-efficiency performance can effectively increase daily output, shorten production cycles, and enhance the ability to respond to large orders. In long-term mass production, the efficiency advantage will be further translated into cost savings and market competitiveness.

3.High Molding Accuracy: Guarantee Product Quality and Meet Strict Standards
Accuracy is the core foundation of cable tray quality. This equipment achieves high molding accuracy through two key designs: First, the 45# steel chrome-plated rollers have high surface finish and dimensional stability, which can ensure the consistency of tray cross-section forming during long-term operation and avoid deformation, dimensional deviation and other issues. Second, the PLC control system precisely regulates rolling speed, pressure and shear length, ensuring that the length, width and bending angle of each cable tray meet the accurate parameter requirements provided by customers. This level of accuracy is particularly important for projects with strict installation standards such as commercial buildings and public facilities, as it can reduce on-site modification work and improve overall installation efficiency.

4.Strong Universality: Adapt to Diverse Needs and Expand Production Scope
This rolling forming machine is designed with strong universality to meet the diverse production needs of cable trays. On one hand, the equipment supports full-process customized design based on parameters provided by customers, covering a specification range of 50-400 mm (which can be adjusted to larger specifications as needed), and is suitable for processing various types of cable trays such as trough-type, tray-type and ladder-type. On the other hand, the equipment is compatible with multiple metal materials including galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminum — switching between processing different materials only requires adjusting rolling parameters and replacing corresponding rollers, eliminating the need for enterprises to purchase separate equipment for different products. This universality greatly expands the production scope of enterprises and improves equipment utilization.

5.Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection: Comply with Green Standards and Reduce Operational Costs
In line with global environmental protection trends and industrial policy requirements, this equipment integrates energy conservation and environmental protection concepts into its design. The high-efficiency motor and optimized transmission system reduce energy consumption per unit output compared with traditional equipment, achieving significant energy-saving effects in long-term operation. In addition, the closed rolling structure reduces workshop noise pollution. The chrome-plated rollers and Cr12Mov shear materials have a long service life, which reduces the frequency of replacement of wearing parts and the generation of solid waste. For enterprises pursuing green production, this equipment not only complies with environmental protection standards but also helps reduce operational costs such as energy and waste disposal.
