5 Powerful Advantages of Our Guard-Track-Rail Forming Machine Line

Guard-track-rail forming machine line technology represents the pinnacle of efficiency in modern metal profile manufacturing. This integrated system transforms raw metal coil into finished, precisely formed guard rails in a single, continuous operation. Designed for durability, speed, and precision, our automated production line is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial safety component manufacturing, ensuring consistent quality and high output for your business.

 

Unmatched Versatility in Guard Rail Production

A key strength of our guard-track-rail forming machine line is its adaptability. This system is not limited to a single profile. It is engineered to produce up to four different guard rail designs based on your specific customer drawings. Switching between profiles is a streamlined process that involves changing the cutting blades and adjusting the forming rolls, minimizing downtime and maximizing production flexibility. The line is capable of processing metal sheets with a thickness of 1mm to 2.5mm, including both standard metal iron and galvanized steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental and application requirements.

A Detailed Look at the Machine Line Components

Our guard-track-rail forming machine is not a single unit but a synchronized system of specialized stations. Each component plays a critical role in transforming raw coil into a finished product.

1. Decoiler & Feeding System

The process begins with a robust, motorized decoiler designed to handle coils weighing up to 2000kg with a maximum diameter of 1300mm. This ensures continuous feeding of material into the line, reducing the frequency of reloading and supporting uninterrupted production cycles.

2. Precision Leveling and Guidance

Before forming, the metal strip must be perfectly flat. Our machine features a 7-station leveling unit (3 upper, 4 lower rollers) made from hardened 40CR steel. This crucial step eliminates any coil memory or curvature, ensuring the material enters the forming section flawlessly for a consistent, high-quality final product.

3. High-Speed Servo Feeding & Punching

Pre-punching holes, notches, or embossments is a critical function. Our line integrates a high-precision servo feeding system that works in tandem with a powerful 63-ton punching machine. The servo system allows for multi-stage feed lengths and is controlled via an intuitive LCD touchscreen. This ensures accurate placement of every punch at speeds of up to 60 times per minute, with tooling made from durable Cr12 steel.

4. The Heart: The 18-Station Roll Forming Unit

This is where the actual shaping occurs. The core of our guard-track-rail forming machine features 18 heavy-duty forming stations. Key features include:

• Power: An 18.5KW main motor provides ample torque.

• Durability: Stations are constructed from cast iron (HT50) for stability and vibration dampening.

• Precision Rollers: The forming rollers are crafted from GCR15 bearing steel, quenched and chromed for exceptional wear resistance and a long service life.

• Drive System: A reliable gear-driven system ensures perfect synchronization between all stations.

5. Programmable Control and Cutting

The entire guard-track-rail forming machine line is managed by an advanced Panasonic PLC and transducer system, allowing for precise speed control between 5 and 8 meters per minute. At the end of the line, a hydraulic cutting unit cleanly shears the continuously formed profile to the desired length. The cutting blades, made from Cr12 steel, are engineered for a clean cut and long-lasting performance. The system includes four sets of blades to accommodate the different profiles.
