How Stud and Track Roll Forming Works？
This production line utilizes advanced automation technology to directly process metal coils into profiles for light steel construction. Our C-Stud and U-Track Roll Forming Machine integrates an uncoiler, feeding platform, forming main unit, punching unit, hydraulic cutting unit, and receiving device into a complete production line, making your keel and track products stand out in the market.
- Uncoiler: Steel coils are manually loaded onto the uncoiler’s spool, ensuring safe loading before being fed into the forming main unit. We offer manual, electric, and hydraulic uncoilers, and other specifications, which can be customized to your needs.
- Feeding Device: The coil is controlled by the feeding platform to enter the forming rollers of the forming main unit in a straight line, preventing deviation during production.
- Main Forming Section: The main unit is processed by more than a dozen roller pressing stations, resulting in a complete profile with precise dimensions for the C-stud or U-Track guide rails.
- Punching Unit: Precise holes are punched into the profiles after forming (for fasteners or connecting other profiles). Servo positioning ensures accuracy. The punching device can be added according to your needs.
- Hydraulic Cutting Device: Utilizes a non-stop servo cutting method for precise cutting, doubling machine output. Continuous operation of the entire production line is achieved through a receiving device.
- PLC Control System: The PLC control cabinet allows setting the required profile length, machine operating speed, and production order quantity.
- Hydraulic Pump Station System: Provides powerful hydraulics for the shearing and punching units. A large-capacity, self-cooled pump station system prevents overheating and reduced machine output.
- Receiving Device: Equipped with a device for automatically stacking finished profiles for packaging or subsequent processing.

Our Stud and Track Roll Forming Machines: Core Advantages
Our machines are designed for reliability and production efficiency, solving the pain points of traditional metal frame production—labor-intensive processes, poor profile consistency, and high material waste. Here are our advantages:
- Intelligent Control System: Branded PLC program + user-friendly touchscreen interface, allowing users to set the required profile length and production speed.
- High-Precision Positioning System: Equipped with Siemens brand servo motor drive, hydraulic cutting achieves smooth, burr-free cutting with a repeatability accuracy of ±0.05mm.
- Fully Automated Integrated Process: From uncoiler, coil feeding, forming, punching, and cutting, the entire keel profile production process is completed in one go. One operator can manage the entire process, reducing labor costs by 50% compared to manual operation.
- Applicable to multiple specifications of coil materials: Easily handles materials ranging from 0.3-1.2m in thickness, whether carbon steel or galvanized coils.
- Customizable profiles and automatic profile changing: Adjustable rollers accommodate various profile sizes (from 38mm to 140mm), suitable for ceiling joists, wall joists, and partitions. One-button automatic profile changing can switch between joist and track sizes within 1 minute.
- High speed and low wear: Our machine’s forming speed can reach 20-40 meters per minute, supporting mass production for commercial and government projects. The hydraulic cutting system uses non-stop servo cutting, reducing low-speed cutting. A rationally designed power system reduces energy consumption.
Stable and low maintenance costs: The stud and track roll forming machine adopts a box-frame structure, minimizing vibration during operation. Add appropriate amounts of hydraulic oil according to production volume; routine maintenance requires monthly checks to reduce downtime.

Customer Case Studies
–Last year, we supplied a fully automatic stud and track roll forming machine to a Southeast Asian building materials supplier. A building materials company in the Philippines wanted to upgrade your equipment and purchased our fully automatic stud and track roll forming machine. Within just three months, their production capacity increased by 80%, material waste decreased from 12% to 3%, and they expanded their supply range to six large-scale construction projects in the local market. The machine’s automatic sizing function enabled them to meet the diverse profile requirements of residential and commercial customers.
