This forming line was developed specifically for producing cable management systems such as cable troughs and cable tray covers. With a wide range of profile sizes accommodated, it is ideal for a broad range of manufacturing environments—especially those involved in electrical infrastructure, construction, or industrial installations. The flexibility in profile width and thickness supports varied product specifications, making it well-suited to both standard and custom applications.
The 20 forming steps ensure progressive and accurate shaping of sheet metal, reducing stress on the material and enhancing surface finish and structural integrity. The integration of five 4-step forming heads provides additional forming capacity, optimizing profile shaping and edge control.
This machine handles profiles from 85 mm to 670 mm wide and 0.6 mm to 1.5 mm thick, with lengths from 2000 mm to 5000 mm, making it ideal for long-length cable trays and accessories. These specifications are crucial for large-scale electrical and infrastructure installations where precise and consistent panel lengths are critical.
With fully automatic operation, including roller conveyors for both loading and unloading, this machine is designed to improve workflow efficiency and reduce manual labor. This feature supports a streamlined production environment, allowing operators to focus on quality control and process monitoring rather than material handling.
Its automated system not only saves time but also increases repeatability, reduces error rates, and supports continuous production—ideal for operations requiring high throughput.
Weighing in at 25,000 kg, the machine boasts a rigid frame and robust design, ensuring vibration-free operation and long-term mechanical reliability. The dimensions of 7300 mm x 2400 mm x 1500 mm make this a floor-mounted industrial machine that requires appropriate shop space and lifting equipment for setup.
Even though it was manufactured in 1989, the machine’s durable construction and proven longevity mean it continues to serve as a dependable asset in demanding production environments.
If your business specializes in electrical infrastructure, industrial cable systems, construction components, or HVAC installations, this roll forming machine will significantly improve your in-house production capacity and reduce dependence on external suppliers.

Routine maintenance for this machine includes:
Checking and replacing roller lubrication
Ensuring conveyor rollers and chains are clean and aligned
Inspecting drive systems, motors, and bearings
Calibrating forming heads for consistent output
Keeping control panels and automation systems dust-free
While the machine was made in 1989, many of the standard components (motors, PLCs, hydraulics) can still be sourced or replaced with modern equivalents if needed.
Q1: Can I modify the profile dimensions for custom tray covers?
Yes, this roll forming machine supports a wide range of profile widths (85 mm to 670 mm) and lengths (2000 mm to 5000 mm). If you require custom tooling or profile changes, we can assist you in sourcing modifications or tooling sets.
Q2: What kind of material can it process?
This machine is designed to process steel and galvanized sheet materials within 0.6 mm to 1.5 mm thickness. Other materials such as aluminum may be used depending on profile requirements and tooling.
Q3: Is this machine suitable for high-volume production?
Absolutely. With its automatic conveyor system and 20-step roll forming configuration, it's ideal for continuous, high-volume manufacturing with minimal operator intervention.
Q4: Does the machine include a PLC control system?
While the original setup may include older control components, the system can be retrofitted with a modern PLC system to improve automation, diagnostics, and performance tracking.
Q5: What are the installation requirements?
You will need adequate space for a 7.3-meter-long machine, access to industrial power supply (voltage requirements can be confirmed), and lifting equipment for installation. We can support you through the setup process.
Q6: Is technical documentation or manuals available?
Yes, we can provide original machine documentation or generate new documentation if needed, including setup instructions and maintenance schedules.
