HOPEX-Electric Cable Tray Machine
An electric cable tray machine is not a single mill. It is six sections working to one timing, and a weakness in any of them shows up in the finished tray. This page walks through each section and states what it contributes.
The line forms trays 200 – 650 mm wide from strip 0.8 – 1.5 mm thick, running at 8 – 16 m/min.
An electric decoiler, 10 t maximum loading carries the coil. Loading capacity matters because a heavy coil that has to be split adds a changeover for every tonne saved.
A 12-roller leveller with lifter linkage system removes coil set before the strip reaches any tooling. The lifter linkage lets the operator change levelling pressure as a single adjustment rather than roller by roller.
Curvature left in the strip is locked into the tray by the forming mill. No downstream station can remove it, which is why this section sits before punching rather than after.
A two-position punching machine handles Z-hook punching and marking in the same pass. Optional patterns include large-span Z-hook holes and pallet holes.

Q1. Why does the line need a separate levelling section?
Because curvature left in the strip is locked into the tray by the forming mill. The 12-roller leveller with lifter linkage system removes it before any tooling touches the material.
Q2. What tray widths can be produced?
200 – 650 mm.
Q3. What strip thickness is supported?
0.8 – 1.5 mm, held to ±0.03 mm.
Q4. How fast does the line run with punching included?
8 – 16 m/min, including punching of connecting holes.
Q5. What is the coil loading capacity?
The electric decoiler, 10 t maximum loading carries up to 10 tonnes.
Q6. What control system is fitted?
PLC, Taiwan Delta or Siemens, with English and Spanish language options.
