Explore the common questions and answers about Steel Purlin machines
A: The crash barrier roll former can produce common 2-wave (W-Beam) guardrails, 3-wave (Thrie-Beam) guardrails, and M-shaped guardrails. Some models support interchangeable production of 2-wave and 3-wave profiles.
A: Production speed varies depending on the configuration and material thickness. Normally, it runs at 0–15 meters per minute. With a flying shear or hydraulic cutoff system, cutting can be done without stopping the line.
A: The system is equipped with a PLC and touch-screen interface, with encoder feedback for length measurement. It supports automatic feeding, length setting, and hydraulic cutting. Advanced options may include remote monitoring and fault diagnosis.
A: Normally, the machine comes with a 2-year warranty (subject to contract terms). During this period, faulty parts caused by non-human damage are repaired or replaced free of charge. Spare parts and technical support are available beyond the warranty period.
A: It is suitable for galvanized steel, cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, and anti-skid steel sheets. The typical thickness range for an expressway guardrail roll forming machine range is 2.0 mm to 3.2 mm, with heavy-duty versions supporting thicker materials.
A: For machines designed for dual profiles, you only need to adjust or replace part of the roller set. It does not require replacing the entire line, and switching can usually be completed within minutes.
A: Yes, we provide global installation and commissioning. Our engineers can travel to your factory to set up the machine and train your operators. Remote guidance, video tutorials, and manuals are also available.
A: With a heavy-duty frame, precision-machined rollers, and gearbox transmission, the expected lifespan of the w beam highway guardrail roll forming machines and 3 wave highway guardrail roll forming machine is 15–20 years with proper maintenance, making them a reliable investment for long-term production.
