Stud and Track Roll Forming Machine – Precision Steel Framing Solutions

Cangzhou Zhongtuo Roll Forming Machinery Co., Ltd. delivers enterprise-grade stud and track roll forming machines engineered for high-volume light gauge steel framing production. Our systems produce C-shaped studs and U-shaped tracks with profile widths ranging from 3″ to 6″, flange options of 1¼″ to 2″, and material thickness from 22 gauge to 16 gauge. Supporting galvanized steel with max yield strength up to 80ksi at 1.6mm thickness, our fully automated lines achieve production speeds of 8-13 meters/minute with dimensional accuracy within ±0.5mm, ensuring friction-tight assembly for modern drywall partition systems.

Machine Components and Technical Configuration

Our production line integrates five core modules designed for continuous operation. The system begins with a 5-ton hydraulic passive uncoiler accommodating coil inner diameters of 508-610mm. A seven-axis automatic leveling machine ensures material flatness before entering the forming process.

The main roll forming section features 13 rows of bearing steel shafts (55mm solid diameter) with high-frequency quenched rollers. Each forming station uses 14mm thick welded steel frames with 18mm vertical plates for structural rigidity. Chain drive transmission powered by a 4.0kw adjustable-speed motor delivers consistent torque throughout the forming sequence.

Hydraulic punching equipment (5.5kw) creates utility holes for wiring and piping before the shearing stage. The automatic cutting system utilizes CR12 heat-treated blades driven by a 3kw hydraulic station, enabling flying shear operation without production interruption.

Intelligent Control System

Your production efficiency benefits from our PLC-based automation platform. The Panasonic control system integrates with KEL-320 touchscreen displays for intuitive operation. Domestic photoelectric rotary encoders (A40S6-600-2-12-ACP) provide precise length measurement, while programmable logic eliminates manual calculation errors.

Operators set target lengths through the digital interface. The servo following cutting system synchronizes blade movement with material flow, maintaining accuracy during high-speed production. This automation reduces labor requirements while improving profile consistency across production runs.

Quality Control Standards

Manufacturing precision directly impacts your installation efficiency. Our machines maintain straightness within 1mm per meter across 3-meter test lengths, preventing wall verticality issues. The automated shearing system produces clean cuts without edge deformation or dangerous burrs that complicate assembly.

Roller design minimizes surface contact pressure, preserving galvanized coatings throughout the forming process. Eight-hour endurance testing validates hydraulic oil temperature stability and PLC logic reliability under continuous operation. These protocols ensure your equipment delivers consistent performance during peak production demands.

Industrial Application Scenarios

Commercial Construction Projects: Your high-rise office towers require fire-rated partition systems. Our heavy-gauge production capability creates structural studs that maintain integrity under wind load pressures while meeting acoustic insulation standards.

Prefabricated Housing Facilities: Modular construction factories benefit from our quick-changeover design. Profile switching adapts to CAD/CAM specifications, producing pre-punched components that eliminate on-site modifications and reduce labor costs by 40%.

Interior Renovation Supply: Building material distributors serve contractors needing burr-free ceiling furring channels and drywall frames with the stud and track roll forming machine. Our precision cutting protects installer safety while minimizing rework in complex interior layouts.
