Product description
Steel Stud and Track Roll Forming Machine
The Stud & Track Roll Forming Machine by Lotosforming is a high performance industrial production line designed for manufacturing precise light gauge steel framing profiles used in modern construction systems. This machine is engineered to produce C-studs and U-tracks with exceptional accuracy, stability, and efficiency.
It is capable of processing steel coils with a thickness of up to 0.4 mm, making it suitable for lightweight structural applications such as drywall partition systems, interior wall framing, and ceiling support structures. With a production speed of up to 30 meters per minute, the machine ensures continuous, high output manufacturing while maintaining consistent profile quality.
The system integrates advanced roll forming technology with a robust mechanical structure, ensuring smooth operation and long service life. Its precision designed roller stations gradually shape the steel strip into exact geometries, while the PLC control system allows for easy operation, automatic length control, and high production accuracy.

FAQ:
Yes. Many modern roll forming machines are designed to manufacture both C Stud and U Track profiles using interchangeable tooling or quick-change systems.
- High production efficiency
- Consistent product quality
- Reduced labor costs
- Minimal material waste
- Continuous production
- Easy operation
Partition studs are the vertical framing members, while partition tracks are the horizontal channels that hold the studs in place. Together, they form the structural framework for non-load-bearing interior walls.
Yes. The roll tooling and punching dies can be customized to manufacture special stud and track profiles based on customer drawings or international standards.
