Abstract
A cable tray is a fixture to support and protect electrical and communication cables. In this study, a roll-forming analysis is conducted to produce an all-in-one cable tray. The number of process stands is calculated using an empirical formula. By applying bending methods to the design of the roll flower pattern, the final process stands and forming angles are determined. The shape and stress variations in the cable tray are modeled and observed by roll forming analysis using LS-DYNA Software. The width of the side rail and the maximum stress on all stands does not exceed the reference values. The forming machine and rolls are manufactured based on the results of the roll forming analysis. In addition, all-in-one cable trays satisfy the National Electrical Manufacturers Association standards when they are manufactured according to this design.
