A steel framing machine produces cold-formed members from coil. This family includes light gauge steel framing equipment, drywall stud and track lines, and ceiling grid or furring-profile machines. Choose the route that matches the finished member and its intended use.
A drywall profile or a catalogue thickness range does not establish suitability for a load-bearing wall, floor or truss. For structural framing, supply the approved member and connection drawings, steel grade, base metal thickness and punching schedule, and agree how the proposed line and measured trial parts will be checked. Project structural design remains a separate engineering responsibility.
For partition-wall stud and track equipment, start with the light steel keel line selection guide and compare each finished profile drawing before choosing a model.
Best suited forFor drywall partitions, suspended ceilings, modular walls and light steel buildings.

Start with the member, not the machine name
Direct answer: a drywall partition stud or track, a ceiling furring profile and a load-bearing light-gauge framing member are different production requests. Send the approved profile drawing and installation detail first; then compare the line that can make that section in the specified steel grade, thickness range, hole pattern and target output.
| What you need to produce | Relevant starting page | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Partition wall stud and track | Stud and track machine selection | Both section drawings, matching track fit, hole schedule and measured samples |
| Ceiling grid or furring member | Ceiling profile line | Profile and joint drawing, fixing detail and a matching formed sample |
| Wall, floor or roof framing member | Light-gauge framing machine | Structural designer's member drawing, connection detail and trial part record |
| Factory material transfer between workstations | HAMR-01 AMR support equipment | Route, load, station interfaces and safety review; the AMR does not form profiles |
Halcyon works directly with factory production teams on equipment selection and supply. The model table below cites technical standards from our Xiamen production base as reference specifications, not a tested guarantee for a buyer's configuration. Confirm the exact machine photo, supplied modules and acceptance method in the signed technical proposal. Use the stud and track buyer checklist to prepare the drawings and sample checks.
FACTORY DOCUMENTED MODEL RANGE
Match the machine to the framing member
Factory technical standards separate fixed-profile LG machines from flexible MF platforms. Width and forming-speed figures are document references for shortlisting, not accepted output for a buyer's configuration; request a trial against the approved drawing.

Speed note: high-speed figures describe the forming reference. Hole patterns, marking, cut cycle, material strength and handling determine actual finished-member output.
HOW TO SELECT
The model name is only the starting point
Material strength, thickness, profile geometry, punching frequency and output target determine the final line configuration.
- Finished profileDimensioned cross-section and tolerances
- MaterialGrade, thickness, coating and coil data
- OperationsHole pattern, marking, cutting and stacking
- OutputLengths, batch sizes and target per shift

More profile-specific light-steel lines
“Super keel” is a supplier label, not a profile standard. To compare a larger stud, track or omega section, send the dimensioned drawing, steel grade, coating, thickness range, hole layout and target output. Our factory team must check the proposed tooling and sample trial against the actual section; a label alone does not establish capacity or structural rating.
Review the profile drawing and material before selecting a dedicated line.
Specify BMT before selecting a steel framing machine
For an Australian steel framing enquiry, identify base metal thickness (BMT) separately from total coated thickness (TCT). BMT describes the steel substrate; TCT includes the coating. Give the material grade and coating designation alongside the thickness rather than selecting an LG or MF model from thickness alone.
Request written confirmation for the complete member drawing, material and punching schedule. Retain the coil identification and material documentation with the measured trial parts. A listed thickness range does not prove every grade and profile combination is included.
Material terminology source: BlueScope Technical Bulletin TB-14, BMT and TCT terminology, reviewed 3 October 2026. This reference explains the material terms; it is not a Halcyon machine approval or a finished-building compliance certificate.
How much does a light steel keel machine cost?
Direct answer: We quote every light steel keel machine by configuration, not from a fixed price list. The price depends on the profile drawing, material thickness, punching and cutting, the level of automation and the delivery terms. Send your drawing and we reply with a written quotation for that exact configuration.
| Configuration level | What changes | Usually chosen for |
|---|---|---|
| Single-profile line | One stud, track or keel section per line. | One standard drywall or framing profile |
| Multi-profile / quick-change line | Several sections or sizes from one line, changed by adjusting or exchanging tooling. | Stud and track sets or several keel sizes |
| High-speed line with punching | Higher line speed with punching (service holes, dimples) and flying cut-off as required by the drawing. | Large-volume framing production |
Price rises from the first level to the third as tooling, servo control and automation are added.
What affects the price
- Number of keel sections (stud, track, ceiling, furring, angle)
- Section sizes and steel thickness
- Punching and embossing requirements
- Line speed and cut-off method
- One section per machine or multi-profile tooling
- Control system and main component brands (PLC, servo, hydraulics)
- Decoiler, outfeed table and automatic stacking
- Delivery terms (FOB or CIF), packing and spare parts
