Heavy Duty W Beam Roll Forming Machine With Tracking Hydraulic Cutter And Gearbox Drive
Heavy-Duty W Beam Roll Forming Machine with Tracking Hydraulic Cutter and Gearbox Drive
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
-
Designed for steel service centers, highway safety equipment suppliers, and infrastructure contractors, this heavy-duty guardrail roll forming line provides reliable shaping and cutting for high-thickness steel, with stable production, minimal material waste, and superior profile accuracy.
2. Profile Description
-
The W-beam guardrail is made from 3–4mm cold-rolled steel, featuring a wave-shaped structure for energy absorption and high impact resistance. It’s widely used in highway safety systems to prevent vehicles from veering off the road.
3. Production Process
-
7.5T Hydraulic Decoiler → First-Level Leveling Machine → Material Guiding Device → Powered Feeding Roller → Second-Level Leveling & Hydraulic Punching Station → Guiding Device → Roll Former → Flying Hydraulic Cutter
-
Material is decoiled and leveled twice for precision shaping. The punched and guided steel enters a high-rigidity roll former, producing W beam profiles with tracking hydraulic cutting for accurate, high-speed shearing.
