Tray Structure & Load-Carrying Geometry

Cable tray dimensions are determined not only by overall width but also by the relationship between the bottom panel and side walls. Deeper side walls can increase the section's resistance to bending, while ribs, beads, or folded edges can further reinforce the tray without requiring excessive material thickness.

The forming system can produce different tray constructions, including:

Perforated cable trays

Solid-bottom trays

Ladder-type tray components

Slotted cable trays

Raceway sections

Heavy-duty cable trays

Cable tray side rails and covers

For perforated designs, holes can be produced at predefined intervals before or during the forming process. The punching pattern can be selected according to cable fixing requirements, ventilation needs, and connection hardware.

Perforation & Connection Preparation

Many cable tray systems use perforated bottoms or side walls. These openings reduce material weight, improve ventilation, and provide multiple points for cable ties and fixing accessories.

The punching unit can be selected according to the tray's hole shape and spacing. Round holes, elongated slots, and customized openings can be incorporated into the production program. For high-volume production, servo-controlled punching provides synchronized positioning between the hole pattern and the tray length.

Connection areas can also be prepared during production where the tray design requires regularly spaced joining holes. This reduces the amount of drilling required during installation and allows sections to be connected using standard tray hardware.

Production Line Configuration

Applications in Cable Management Systems

The finished trays are installed on walls, ceilings, floors, cable bridges, equipment structures, and support frames to organize and protect cable routes.

Typical applications include:

Industrial Plants
Used for power distribution, instrumentation, automation, and control cables around production equipment.

Commercial Buildings
Cable trays provide organized routes for electrical and communication wiring in offices, shopping centers, and large buildings.

Data & Communication Facilities
Perforated and ventilated tray sections can be used for structured cabling and communication infrastructure.

Power Infrastructure
Heavy-duty tray sections can carry larger groups of power cables in substations, utility facilities, and electrical rooms.

Infrastructure Projects
Cable management systems are also used in tunnels, transportation facilities, airports, and other large installations.

The tray configuration can be selected according to cable quantity, cable weight, support spacing, environmental conditions, and available installation space. Width and side-wall height can therefore vary substantially between projects.

Tray Design & Production Options

Different cable management systems require different tray constructions. A light-duty communication installation may use a narrow perforated tray, while power installations can require thicker steel, deeper side walls, and reinforced bottom sections.

The machine can be designed around the required tray geometry, with the following factors determining the final configuration:

For galvanized cable trays, the forming tooling can be finished to reduce unnecessary surface damage. For stainless steel or heavier materials, the machine structure and drive system can be selected according to the additional forming load.

The line can also be arranged to produce several tray sizes with dedicated tooling sets, allowing manufacturers to maintain separate profile geometries for light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty cable management applications.
