Cable tray manufacturing equipment model

Cable tray manufacturing relies on integrated machines such as roll forming lines, CNC press brakes, punching machines, and shearing units, with models like HCM-600 offering fully automated production.

Core Equipment for Cable Tray Production

1. Roll Forming Machines Roll forming machines are the backbone of cable tray production, shaping metal strips into U-channel, C-channel, or ladder profiles. Modern models, such as multi-size roll forming machines, can handle sheet thicknesses from 0.4 mm to 3 mm and widths from 50 mm to 1200 mm, producing trays with heights of 20–150 mm. These machines often include hydraulic decoilers, leveling units, servo feeders, and flying or fixed-length shears for continuous production .
2. CNC Punching Machines CNC punching units create mounting holes, ventilation slots, and knockouts. They allow flexible hole layouts to optimize heat dissipation and cable management. High-precision punching ensures structural integrity while reducing tray weight. These machines are integrated into automated lines and can handle various punching designs for ladder, perforated, or solid trays .
3. Press Brakes and Bending Machines CNC press brakes perform secondary bending operations to achieve precise angles and tray shapes. High-precision bending machines ensure consistent angles across all tray components, contributing to structural stability .
4. Shearing Machines Shearing machines cut trays to the required lengths, typically 2–6 meters. Flying shears or fixed-length shears are used depending on production line automation. These machines provide high cutting accuracy and efficiency .

Automated Production Lines

Fully automated lines, such as the HCM-600 Cable Tray Automatic Production Line, integrate decoiling, leveling, punching, notching, roll forming, straightening, and cutting. These lines use PLC control and AC frequency conversion for continuous operation, supporting coil widths up to 1000 mm and thicknesses of 0.4–2 mm. Intelligent feeders and servo motor systems ensure precise material handling and stable production .
