Cable tray making line
Cable tray production is a repeat-bending business: the same profile, the same four bends, all day. Our cable tray lines pair a dedicated CNC press brake with the front supporter and conveying tooling the job needs — and where volume justifies it, a robot that finishes the tray without a manual die change.
Why a dedicated line
Cable tray making is profile work with a fixed bend pattern. A general-purpose press brake does the job, but a tray line does it faster: the tooling is dedicated, the back gauge positions are stored as a program, and the blank handling — supporting, centring, moving the formed section away — is engineered instead of improvised. The general characteristics of our press brake range all apply here:
- High mechanical strength and great rigidity due to the integrated welded steel structure
- Hydraulic powered system to realise precise working power, easy and safe operating
- Pre-installed press brake punches with 88° angle and solid block lower die with four-face multi-V frame
- Fast changing press brake punch holders
- Back gauge equipped with ball screw and slick rod for fast and precise transmission
- Finger pin for flexible and precise positioning of the back gauge, adjustable up and down as per needs
- Steel/nylon front supporting arms to transfer workpieces
- Deflection compensation system controlled by the CNC system beneath the work table for more precise bending results
Robotic bending unit
Where the volume justifies it, the manual steps come out of the cell. The work unit is composed of a CNC brake press, a flexible robot, a manual magnetic tension table, a gravity centring table and a blanking table. The flexible robot is installed on the ground to complete the four-knife bending work on both sides of the product — and in the case of no need to change the cutter die manually, the robot can complete production of the workpiece at one time.
- Four knives on both sides of the product as the standard bending process
- Robot handling removes the operator from both ends of the blank
- Magnetic tension table and gravity centring table keep the blank square through the bend sequence
What the CNC adds
- CNC servo system fitted with 100-program memory (25 sequences per program), controlling the hydraulic system and the movement of the back gauge for efficient and highly precise positioning
- Safety device with light/laser guarding the fingers well
- Visual operating system — easy operation, convenient, multi-functions and practical
- Power safeguard design with light curtain protection and open-door power-off function
- Rational layout of the oil pipeline design to prevent the oil temperature rising quickly
Machine features
- High bending precision, fast working speed, efficient, operational safety, stable performance
- Good anti-knock frame (welded-steel plate construction); the whole frame is tempered to reduce modification, and machined in one process on a large-scale CNC milling machine to ensure high precision
- International brand parts and CNC components
- All parts produced by CNC machining centre according to standard drawings
- Thickened slider and vertical plate to ensure the stability of the machine tool and reduce elasticity
