In the modern construction landscape, efficiency and precision are no longer optional—they are the standards that define success. At the heart of this shift toward rapid, high-quality building is the stud and track roll forming machine. As a foundational element of light gauge steel framing (LSF) and drywall systems, these machines have revolutionized how interior partitions and load-bearing walls are constructed globally.
With over 28 years of expertise, Haixing Industry Group has been at the forefront of manufacturing high-performance stud and track machines, providing the technical "backbone" for thousands of infrastructure projects worldwide.
To understand the machine, one must first understand the product. In drywall construction, the "Stud" and "Track" form a structural frame:
Together, they create a lightweight yet incredibly strong skeleton for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Unlike traditional timber framing, metal studs are perfectly straight, fire-resistant, and immune to rot or termite damage.
A stud and track roll forming machine is a continuous production line that transforms flat galvanized steel coils into precise C and U profiles. The process involves several key stages:

One of the most important aspects of a metal stud machine is its ability to handle different profile specifications. Typically, these machines are designed to produce:
Haixing’s machines are often customized to produce various widths (e.g., 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm) and flange heights. Some advanced models are "Adjustable Stud and Track Machines," allowing the operator to change dimensions via the PLC touch screen without changing rollers, significantly reducing downtime.
The versatility of a light gauge steel framing machine is measured by the thickness of the material it can process.
Haixing machines utilize high-grade G550 or G350 galvanized steel, ensuring that every stud and track meets international building codes for strength and corrosion resistance.
In the B2B machinery sector, speed equals profit. Our standard stud and track lines operate at speeds of 30 to 60 meters per minute. For large-scale manufacturers, this means thousands of meters of framing produced every single shift.
Coupled with a high-precision PLC control system (available in multiple languages), the machine ensures minimal material waste, which is a critical factor in maintaining a high ROI for your roofing and framing business.
We have observed a massive surge in demand for stud and track machines in emerging markets:
At Haixing, we provide specialized export services to these international markets, ensuring that our machines are calibrated to local electrical standards and material specifications.
While studs and tracks form the walls, Omega (Hat) channels are often used for ceiling systems and exterior cladding. Many of our clients invest in both a stud-track line and an Omega roll forming machine to offer a complete structural solution to their customers.
1. Can one machine produce both studs and tracks? Yes. We offer "Dual-Row" or "Changeable" machines that can produce both C-studs and U-tracks on the same production line, saving factory space.
2. What is the power requirement for these machines? Typically, the main motor is around 5.5kW to 7.5kW, depending on the thickness and speed requirements. We can customize the voltage (e.g., 380V/50Hz/3Phase) to match your local grid.
3. Is the machine easy to operate for new workers? Absolutely. The PLC system is user-friendly. Once the material is loaded and parameters (length and quantity) are set, the machine operates automatically.
4. How long is the delivery time? For standard stud and track machines, the manufacturing time is usually 30-45 days.
5. What kind of maintenance is required? Regular lubrication of the rollers and chains, and checking the hydraulic oil levels, are the primary maintenance tasks required to ensure a long machine lifespan.
With nearly three decades of experience, Haixing Industry Group is your reliable partner for high-quality roll forming technology.
