HOPEX-Multi Material Cable Tray
One cable tray machine has to handle several strip materials, and they do not behave the same way in the mill. This page covers what changes between them and how the line copes.
| Material | Forming behaviour | Line consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Q235 galvanized steel | Predictable, most common | Coating abrasion on tooling |
| Stainless steel | Higher springback, work hardens | Needs progressive forming |
| Zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy | Coating sensitive at bend radius | Gradual bend distribution |

Q235 galvanized is the reference material for the line. The zinc layer is abrasive against tooling, which is why rollers are 45# steel, quenched and hard chromed.
Stainless springs back further than carbon steel and hardens as it deforms. Spreading the bend across 26 rows keeps each increment small enough that the material does not harden ahead of the final passes.

Zn-Al-Mg coatings are valued for corrosion performance, and cracking them at the bend radius removes the reason for specifying them. Progressive forming across the full row sequence is what protects the surface.

Manufactured in Tianjin, China with a 2 years warranty and 18 months of free maintenance covering parts and freight. Lifetime technical support is provided.
Q1. Which materials can this machine run?
Q235 galvanized steel, stainless steel or zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy.
Q2. Does stainless steel need different tooling?
The same tooling set is used. Stainless springs back further, which is why the bend is distributed across 26 rows.
Q3. Will the machine damage a Zn-Al-Mg coating?
Progressive forming across the full row sequence is specified precisely to protect coatings at the bend radius.
Q4. Does material choice change the speed?
Production speed remains 8 – 16 m/min.
Q5. What thickness range applies to all materials?
0.8 – 1.5 mm, held to ±0.03 mm.
Q6. What warranty and maintenance is included?
2 years warranty plus 18 months free maintenance including parts and freight.
