2-4mm highway guardrail W panel roll forming machine
These introductions refer only to the production line and configuration shown in the main image. Each machine is custom-built. Metalign welcomes your inquiry and provides the right production line—forming metal into profiles aligned to your needs.
1. Production Line Overview
This high-speed W-Beam roll forming line is designed for highway safety product manufacturers and infrastructure projects. Featuring high automation, precision punching, and a gearbox-driven system, it ensures efficient, high-quality production. The independent leveling and punching units enhance processing accuracy, making it ideal for mass production.
2. Profile Description
Made of 2-4mm hot-rolled steel, the W-Beam guardrail features two humps and one valley for enhanced impact absorption. It includes pre-punched elongated holes for easy bolt installation, ensuring a secure connection. Commonly galvanized for corrosion resistance, it is widely used for highway safety and traffic management.
3. Production Process
Hydraulic decoiler – Leveler – Servo feeder – Hydraulic punch – Pre-cut – Transport table – Guiding – Roll former – Out table
The production line starts with a hydraulic decoiler feeding the hot-rolled steel into an independent leveling unit for flatness correction. A servo feeder ensures precise positioning before hydraulic punching creates elongated mounting holes.
The pre-cut system improves efficiency by cutting before roll forming, preventing material distortion. The gearbox-driven roll forming machine shapes the W-Beam with high precision. Finally, the manual offloading system ensures safe and organized stacking.
