Product Description

HOPEX-Highway Guardrail

A W-beam guardrail roll forming machine is only as good as the way its stations work together. This page walks the line from the coil holder at the entry to the stacked panels at the discharge end.

Entry Section: Uncoiling, Leveling, Feeding

The strip is unwound from the coil, residual curvature is removed, and the sheet is guided into the first forming station at a controlled feed rate. A flat, straight entry is the foundation of a consistent profile — no downstream station can fully correct a twisted entry.

Forming Section: 15 – 18 Stations

Each station bends the strip by a small angle and the accumulated bends build the full W-beam profile. Forming rollers are carried on 120 mm shafts, keeping roller pairs rigid and evenly loaded even when running 4.0 mm material.

Punching and Cut-to-Length

After forming, mounting holes are punched in step with strip speed, then the cutting unit separates panels with Cr12 blades quenched to HRC 58–62. Because both are synchronized with forming speed, hole spacing and panel length hold tolerance from 5 to 15 m/min.
