Automatic Decoiling: Smoothly unwinds heavy metal coils for continuous production. Reduces manual handling and increases safety.
Leveling & Straightening: Ensures flat and uniform sheets for accurate forming. Removes coil stress and waviness.
Roll Forming System: Multiple roller stations gradually shape the sheet into cable tray profiles. Can produce U-type, C-type, or ladder-type trays.
Hydraulic Cutting System: Cuts finished trays to required length with high accuracy. Can operate continuously without stopping the line.
High Efficiency: Continuous operation ensures consistent output.
Material Flexibility: Can work with galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum sheets.
Safety Features: Emergency stop buttons, sensors, and protective guards for operator safety. Reduces risks associated with heavy metal handling.
The operation begins with an automatic decoiler, which unwinds heavy coils of galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum and feeds them smoothly into the line. The sheet then passes through a leveling or straightening unit to remove any bends or waviness, ensuring a flat and uniform surface for precise forming. Once leveled, the sheet enters the roll forming section, where a series of rollers gradually bend it into the desired tray profile, such as U-type, C-type, or ladder-type trays. If required, the line can include a punching station that automatically creates slots, holes, or knockouts for cable entry, ventilation, or mounting points, all synchronized with the material feed.
After forming, the tray reaches a hydraulic or flying saw cutter, which cuts it to the programmed length with high accuracy, without stopping the production line. Finally, the finished trays move onto a run-out table or automatic stacker, where they are neatly collected and stacked for packaging or installation. The entire process is coordinated by a PLC control system, allowing operators to adjust tray dimensions, punching patterns, production speed, and batch quantity while ensuring safety and efficiency throughout the line.
