Production Line
High-efficiency cable tray roll forming line integrating punching, auto size adjustment, and flying cut, designed for continuous production with precise nesting-end forming.
- Continuous non-stop production
- Fast size changeover capability
- Reduced labor dependency
- Consistent punching accuracy
- High production efficiency
Line configurations can be tailored for different cable tray widths, heights, hole patterns, and nesting requirements, including punching layouts, forming passes, and automatic size adjustment systems.
Ideal for manufacturers producing standard and nested cable trays in bulk, especially those requiring frequent size changes, high output, and precise punching consistency.

Machine Details
Steel Coil Decoiler With Leveler
The decoiler and leveling integrated unit combines coil unwinding and material flattening in one compact system, reducing space and improving feeding stability.
Compared to separated machines, it ensures better synchronization and lower investment cost. Leveling rollers remove coil stress, which is critical for maintaining forming accuracy and punching precision.
Servo feeder & Punch Press
The servo feeder delivers precise strip feeding controlled by PLC, ensuring accurate pitch for punching operations. Combined with a punch press, it enables high-speed, repeatable hole patterns. This setup significantly improves consistency compared to manual or pneumatic feeding alternatives.
Roll Forming Machine
The roll forming machine adopts a heavy-duty stand frame with chain transmission for stable power delivery.
It features automatic width adjustment for producing multiple box beam sizes without frequent roller change.
This design ensures high rigidity, precise forming accuracy, and efficient continuous production, suitable for industrial-scale rack beam manufacturing.

Flying Laser Welder
This line uses a flying cutting system, meaning the roll forming process does not stop during cutting. The cutting unit synchronizes with the forming speed, creating relative stillness between tool and profile, ensuring clean cuts without deformation.
For nesting connection, the cable tray end is necked (reduced) during cutting. This is achieved by a combined forming and cutting die, integrating pressing and cutting in one step, ensuring precise fit and eliminating secondary processing.
PLC Control Cabinet & Encoder
In a cold roll forming line, the encoder works with the PLC to provide real-time feedback on material position and speed, ensuring precise feed, synchronized forming, and accurate length control for cutting and punching.
Production speed, product length, and quantity can be set on the control cabinet. The display language can be customized according to customer requirements.

Frequently Asked Question
The standard configuration operates at 15–20 m/min. Higher-end configurations can reach 30–40 m/min, and even higher speeds can be customized according to specific production requirements.
Lead times range from 30-50 days post-order, varying by customization level and supplier location. We typically require 45 days for standard machines.
Laser welding ensures deep penetration, stable seam strength, and consistent bonding for heavy-duty rack applications.
Yes. We are a professional manufacturer that produces both standard market profiles and customized profiles. We can also sign an agreement to ensure that your drawing will not be shared with other parties.
There is no need to worry. Our machines are designed for easy installation and operation.
Before shipment, we will finish the main assembly and testing in our factory. When the machine arrives, you only need to place it in position, connect the power supply, and it can start working.
We will also provide:
detailed installation and operation manuals
machine layout drawings
wiring diagrams
online technical support (video call / photos / videos)
If needed, we can also arrange an engineer to come to your factory to help with installation and training. Many of our customers complete installation smoothly with our online guidance.
30% deposit is paid before production, the balance paid after inspection confrmation, before shipment.
