Compact and Efficient Cold Roll Forming Machine for Highway Guardrail W Panel Production

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 clients in highway safety, infrastructure, and construction industries. It offers space-saving design, high production efficiency, and precision manufacturing, making it ideal for producing durable, high-quality W panels for guardrails.

2. Profile Description

• The W panel is made from 3-4mm cold-rolled steel, featuring a distinct W-shape for maximum strength. It is widely used in highway safety applications, offering excellent durability and crash protection. The panels are precisely formed, punched, and cut for consistent quality and easy installation.

3. Production Process

• Decoiler → Guide → Leveling → Hydraulic Punching → Guide → Roll Former → Hydraulic Cutter

• The steel roll is first uncoiled and guided into the leveling machine, which flattens the steel. After leveling, hydraulic punching creates holes as needed. The steel passes through a guide before entering the roll former, which shapes it. Finally, the hydraulic cutter cuts the panel to the required length.
