Stud & Track Roll Forming Machines
Every Stud. Every Track.
C-studs and U-track punched, cut to length and ready for the job site. US-engineered, specified and commissioned by ACERO.
From commercial buildings to residential homes and garages
Steel stud and track is the framing behind interior walls in homes, garages, offices and commercial build-outs. Two members do the work.
The vertical member
The C-stud stands upright in the wall and carries the drywall sheet fastened to its face.
Top and bottom
The U-track runs along the ceiling and floor, fastened down, and holds each vertical stud in place.
Alpha Series with automatic stacker
Coil in, stacked and ready to ship. The Alpha line forms, punches, cuts and stacks stud and track without an operator touching the part.
Two profiles. One line.
C-stud, U-track and slotted track for commercial and residential framing, formed, punched and cut to length in a single pass.
C-Stud
Load-bearing and non-structural studs with lipped flanges, punched for service holes in line.
U-Track
Top and bottom track to receive the stud — same web range, run on the same line.
Slotted Track
U track with vertical slots punched along both legs, so studs can move with the structure above while staying fastened.

Gauge reference (structural): 20 ga ≈ 33 mil · 18 ga ≈ 43 mil · 16 ga ≈ 54 mil · 14 ga ≈ 68 mil · 12 ga ≈ 97 mil. Web sizes and gauges are nominal. Final material thickness, flange and leg sizes are confirmed at quote.
