Automated Cold W Panel Highway Guardrail Forming Machine Pre Punched Holes And Hydraulic Cutting
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 production line is designed for manufacturing highway guardrail W panels. It serves industries like road construction, transportation, and infrastructure, delivering high-quality, precise steel guardrails. The line offers efficiency, flexibility, and automation, ensuring low waste and high output.
2. Profile Description
-
The W panel is made from 3-4mm thick cold-rolled steel, designed with pre-punched holes. It is characterized by high durability, suitable for highway and traffic safety barriers. The product is used in construction and road infrastructure, providing robust protection against vehicle collisions.
3. Production Process
-
10T Hydraulic Decoiler → Leveling Machine → Hydraulic Punching → Hydraulic Cut → Transfer Table → Guide → Roll Former → Out Table
-
The line starts with a hydraulic decoiler, unwinding the steel. The leveling machine ensures the steel is flat. The hydraulic punching station pre-punches holes for quick installation. Hydraulic shear cuts the steel to the required length. A transfer table moves the material to the roll former, where it is shaped into the W panel profile. The final product is then collected at the out table.
