Suspended Ceiling Lines
Lines that make the metal parts of a suspended ceiling from coil: the T-grid (main tee, cross tee, wall angle) and the C/U profiles of drywall ceilings on a roll forming line; clip-in and lay-in metal ceiling panels on a servo-fed press line, where they are perforated, cut and formed. Each line is engineered around your section and output volume.
From the field
Not brochure promises — running lines: real footage from installations, factory tests and customer sites.
Hole and slot accuracy
The servo feeder advances the strip by the same pitch on every stroke, so hanger holes and cross-tee slots stay evenly spaced along the profile and the grid sits square on site.
Section-specific roll tooling
Roll forming stations are designed for the T, C or U section; the number of stations and the roll layout are set so that thin strip forms true to the section.
From profile to panel
Carrier profiles run on a roll forming line, clip-in and lay-in panels on a press line; both start with a decoiler, straightener and servo feeder.
Single-point control
From decoiler to stacker, the line runs from one PLC and operator panel; profile length and hole recipes are stored on the HMI.
Why a Servosteel suspended ceiling line?
The first stations of a ceiling line — decoiler, straightener and servo feeder — are Servosteel's own products, and so are the roll forming line that shapes the profiles and the automatic stacker at the exit. We build the line around these units, for your section, as one project, with every unit sized to the next.
A suspended ceiling is not one product but a system: the T-grid, the C and U profiles of drywall ceilings, and metal panels that either lay into the grid or clip onto it. Each needs a different line. Carrier profiles are a continuous section, so they are roll formed; panels are flat parts with folded edges, so they are perforated, cut and formed on a servo-fed press line.
For a quotation, send a drawing of the profile section or panel, the material and coating, the thickness range, product lengths, the hole and slot layout and your target output; we will size the line from there.

- 1
Decoiling
The decoiler carries the coil and feeds the strip into the line under controlled tension. On capped T-grid a second decoiler feeds the pre-painted cap strip separately.
- 2
Straightening and servo feeding
Straightener rolls remove coil set; the servo feeder then indexes the strip into the punching die by a measured pitch on every stroke.
- 3
In-line punching
Hanger holes, cross-tee slots and connection holes are punched in the flat strip before forming. Their spacing decides whether the grid sits square on site.
- 4
Roll forming
Roll stations bend the strip step by step. On T-grid the web is folded double and the cap strip is wrapped over the bottom flange; C and U profiles are completed in fewer stations.
- 5
Cut-off and stacking
The profile is cut to length; the end tabs of cross tees are usually formed in the cut-off die. The automatic stacker collects the profiles in pack order.
Suspended ceiling product types
A suspended ceiling system has two families of parts: the profiles that carry the ceiling and the panels that form the visible surface. Profiles are a continuous section; panels are flat parts with folded edges. That difference decides the type of line.
T-grid system
Main tees, cross tees and wall angles; the main tees hang from the soffit on hanger wires and the panels sit in the grid. The body is usually galvanized steel and the visible underside a pre-painted cap strip.
Drywall ceiling profiles
The C carrier profile that the plasterboard is screwed to, and the U perimeter profile fixed to the walls. Simple open sections; the surfaces are usually knurled for screw grip and stiffness.
Clip-in metal panels
Tray panels whose folded edges clip onto a carrier profile, leaving no grid visible from below. Often perforated for acoustics.
Lay-in metal panels
Tray panels that sit on the flanges of the T-grid and lift out for maintenance. The edge can be square or stepped (tegular).
Grid, panels and hangers are tied together by dimensions: the slot spacing of the T-grid follows the panel module, and the edge form of the panel follows the carrier section. When we design the line we want to see a drawing of the whole system, not just one profile.
Which product needs which line?
T-grid
Roll forming line with two decoilers and in-line punching
For a capped, double-web section the body and cap strip are fed from two separate decoilers. Hanger holes and slots are punched in-line, and the cross-tee end tabs are formed in the cut-off die.
Roll Forming LinesDrywall C and U profiles
Roll forming line with flying cut-off and automatic stacking
A simple open section needs fewer stations. Because these profiles run in high volumes, line speed is usually set by the cut-off and by stacking at the exit; stacking and packing by hand becomes the bottleneck.
Automatic StackerClip-in and lay-in panels
Servo-fed press line
The strip is straightened and servo-fed into the press, perforated where required, cut into blanks, corner-notched and edge-formed. Hole patterns and open area are covered on the perforating lines page.
Coil Perforating LinesDifferent sections can be run on one line by changing the roll set and cut-off die, but families with different speeds and punching layouts, such as T-grid and drywall profiles, are usually produced on separate lines. Your product range and output volume decide which approach fits.
Frequently asked
Questions about suspended ceiling lines
What does a suspended ceiling line produce?
The metal parts of a suspended ceiling system: the T-grid (main tee, cross tee, wall angle), the C and U profiles of drywall ceilings, and clip-in or lay-in metal ceiling panels. Profiles are made on a roll forming line, panels on a servo-fed press line.
How does a T-grid line differ from a drywall profile line?
T-grid is a capped, double-web section; it usually needs two decoilers, in-line punching and a cut-off die that forms the end tabs. Drywall C and U profiles are simpler open sections; the line is plainer, and what matters most is cut-off speed and stacking and packing.
Are metal ceiling panels made on a roll forming line?
Square and rectangular clip-in and lay-in panels are not: they are flat parts folded on four edges, so they are perforated, cut, corner-notched and edge-formed on a servo-fed press line. Long linear (strip) ceiling panels, however, are a continuous section and can be roll formed.
What do you need for a ceiling line quotation?
A drawing of the profile section or panel, material and coating (galvanized, pre-painted), thickness and width range, product lengths or panel sizes, the hole and slot layout, target output and the packing format.
