Light Gauge Steel Stud & Track Machine - PLC Automatic

Drywall and ceiling profiles are high-volume, low-margin products, so the machine that makes them must run fast and stop rarely. This Light Gauge Steel Stud & Track forms the target sections from galvanized coil at high line speed, with a PLC that keeps lengths consistent for palletizing and direct dispatch.

Overview

The Light Gauge Steel Stud & Track Machine is a fully automatic roll forming line designed to produce metal studs and tracks for drywall and light steel framing. With 15 kw drive power, it delivers consistent, high quality production for building and construction applications.

Manufactured by Zhongtuo (ZTRFM) in Botou, Hebei, China, this machine uses high grade 45# steel shafts and rollers. PLC control ensures automatic operation. It is CE BV STV ISO certified with a 1 Year warranty. Every unit ships with a machinery test report and video outgoing-inspection.

These machines supply profiles to drywall contractors, ceiling installers and partition-system manufacturers. Target profiles are consumed in office fit-outs, hotels, hospitals and residential projects wherever lightweight steel framing is preferred over timber. Demand is steady, so a drywall line usually reaches high utilization within the first months of operation.

Key Specifications of the Light Gauge Steel Stud & Track

The main drive is rated at 15 kw, sized for continuous operation at full line speed without overheating on long shifts. Electrical supply is 380V, and the control cabinet can be adapted to your local voltage when ordering. Length presets, counting and profile programs run on the PLC(imported Brand), so operators switch between jobs from the panel without mechanical re-setup. Forming rollers are Cr12, giving predictable profile accuracy and long intervals between re-grinds. The forming shafts are 45# High Grade Steel, selected for stiffness so the roller stack stays aligned under load. The machine is built to run PPGI PPGL GI GL coil, and the tooling path is set up for these coated or galvanized materials without surface marking.

For drywall lines, uptime is everything. This Light Gauge Steel Stud & Track uses a drive sized for continuous duty, a quick-release roller arrangement for profile changes, and a cutting unit that keeps pace with the fastest packing crew. Most operators reach full rated speed within the first week.

FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity?

The MOQ is 1 set.

What material does this machine process?

It processes PPGI PPGL GI GL coil.

What is the warranty period?

A 1 Year warranty applies, with machinery test report and video outgoing-inspection provided.

Can the machine be customized for my profile?

Yes. Roller sets and profiles can be customized to your drawings, and OEM/ODM service is available.

What is the installed power of this machine?

The line is rated at 15 kw. Power consumption in practice is lower than the rated figure for most running profiles, since the drive only loads under material.

What voltage does the machine require?

The standard configuration runs on 380V. We can adapt the electrical cabinet to your local supply, so confirm your site voltage when ordering.

What is the production speed?

High-speed drywall and ceiling lines in this class run approximately 40-60 m/min for standard stud, track and furring profiles. The actual rate depends on the profile size and cutting cycle.

Can one machine replace manual bending?

Yes. Replacing manual profile bending with a roll forming line removes the most labour-intensive step and gives consistent dimensions. Most customers recover the investment through labour saving within the first year at two-shift operation.

What coil material is suitable?

Galvanized and pre-painted steel coil from 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm is typical for drywall and ceiling profiles. If you plan a different gauge range, tell us so we can adjust the forming stations and drive.

Does it cut profiles to length automatically?

Yes, lengths are set in the PLC and the machine cuts automatically, with counting support for standard packing. Length presets can be stored for the different products you run.
