These introductions refer only to the production line and configuration shown in the main image. Each machine is custom-built. Metalign welcomes your inquiry and provides the right production line—forming metal into profiles aligned to your needs.
1. Production Line Overview
- A versatile roll forming solution designed for cable tray manufacturers, electrical system integrators, and panel system fabricators. Ideal for clients seeking flexibility, precision, and space-saving dual-profile capability.
2. Profile Description
- Formed from galvanized steel with 1.0–1.5mm thickness, this ladder-type cable tray features punched slots for mounting and ventilation. Widely used in electrical cable routing and industrial facility installations.
3. Production Process
- Manual Decoiler → Leveling Machine → Servo Feeder → Hydraulic Punching Machine → Guide → Roll Former → Flying Hydraulic Cutter → Out Table
-
The process begins with decoiling and leveling, followed by servo feeding into a hydraulic punching unit for pre-punched holes. The double-row guiding system aligns the strip into a gear-box driven roll former with dual sets of forming tools. The tracking cutter then accurately shears the formed trays according to length.
4. Technical Parameters
| Machine | Analysis |
| Manual Decoiler | Holds 3T steel coil; cost-efficient for manual loading. |
| Suitable for low to medium production speed lines. | |
| Leveling Machine | 3 over 4 structure ensures flatness for forming precision. |
| Independent unit offers better tension control. | |
| Servo Feeder | Feeds coil into punching unit with accuracy and programmable length. |
| Hydraulic Punching Machine | One-station design for pre-punching mounting holes. |
| Independent structure reduces vibration during punching. | |
| Guiding system | Aligns material to left or right row as required. |
| Roll Former | Wall panel base with gear box drive ensures stability and power. |
| Dual-tooling setup allows flexible profile changeover. | |
| Tracking Hydraulic Cutter | Equipped with two cutting dies for each tray design. |
| Cuts during movement, enhancing cutting precision and speed. |
5. Key Focus
- Dual-row forming structure allows flexible tooling on both sides.
- Punching before forming improves precision and minimizes deformation.
- Flying cutter ensures clean, synchronized cuts at high speed.
- Ideal for cable tray producers needing quick profile switchovers.
- Compact and efficient line layout for space-saving production.
