GrandForce is a brand of Changzhou Guosu Technology Co., Ltd.
Changzhou Guosu Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in the manufacturing of Cable Tray Roll Forming Machines. The equipment is designed with a non-standard customized solution, suitable for the continuous and automated production of cable trays in various sizes and specifications.
The machine adopts a modular and adjustable structure. One roll forming production line can cover multiple cable tray sizes. By adjusting the roll forming rollers and changing the corresponding punching dies, different tray widths, heights, and hole patterns can be switched quickly, effectively reducing changeover time and improving production efficiency.
Machine Components
The complete cable tray roll forming line mainly consists of:
- Decoiler
- Leveling Machine
- Servo Feeding System
- Punch Press
- Customized Punching Dies
- Guide Frame
- Main Roll Forming Machine
- Flying Cut-off System
- Run-out Table
All units operate continuously with a stable structure, ensuring high forming accuracy and clean cutting quality.
Forming Process
Decoiling → Leveling → Punching → Roll Forming → Flying Cut-off → Collecting
The continuous roll forming process is suitable for medium and large-scale cable tray production.
Technical Specifications
Why these numbers matter for your production: The right specifications directly impact your output capacity, material cost, and product quality. Below is a detailed breakdown of our cable tray roll forming machine.
| Parameter | Specification | Why It Matters |
|---|
| Material Thickness | 0.8 – 2.8 mm | Covers both light-duty (0.8mm) and heavy-duty (2.8mm) cable trays. One machine handles all common thicknesses. |
| Tray Width Range | 100 – 600 mm (adjustable) | Covers most standard cable tray widths. No need to buy separate machines for different widths. |
| Tray Height Range | 30 – 150 mm (adjustable) | Side height adjustment without changing rollers. Saves tooling cost. |
| Forming Speed (with punching) | ~6 m/min | Punching requires precise positioning — this speed ensures accurate hole patterns without deformation. |
| Forming Speed (without punching) | Up to 16 m/min | For orders without hole requirements — higher speed means higher daily output. |
| Number of Forming Stations | 18 – 22 sets (by profile) | More stations = smoother forming = less material stress. We determine the exact number based on your tray shape. |
| Roller Material | GCR15 / 45# steel, quenched HRC58-62° | Hardened rollers resist wear. Typical service life: 5-8 years with proper maintenance. |
| Main Shaft Diameter | φ70 – φ85 mm (40Cr quenched) | Thicker shafts prevent deflection when processing heavy-gauge steel (2.5mm+). |
| Main Motor Power | 11 – 22 kW (by thickness) | Higher power for thicker materials. We size the motor according to your typical production. |
| Cut-off Tolerance | ±1.0 mm (standard) / ±0.5 mm (servo) | Precise cutting reduces material waste. ±0.5mm option recommended for high-value orders. |
| Control System | PLC + Touch Screen (Siemens/Delta) | Save up to 50 size recipes. One operator can manage 2-3 lines simultaneously. |
| Power Supply | 380V / 50Hz (customizable) | We adjust voltage and frequency to your local standard — no transformer needed. |
| Machine Dimensions (L×W×H) | 12–18m × 1.5–2.2m × 1.8–2.5m | Varies by configuration. We provide workshop layout drawing before shipment. |
| Total Weight | 8 – 15 tons | Heavier frame = less vibration = better forming accuracy. Includes all main components. |
Note: All specifications above are customizable. The final parameters are determined based on your profile drawing, target output, and workshop conditions. Contact us with your requirements for a tailored specification sheet.
