Laser cutting machines are widely applied in the field of metal guardrails, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Cutting Processing
Precise Material Cutting: Metal guardrails are usually composed of various specifications of pipes, plates, etc. Laser cutting machines can accurately cut metal materials into the required lengths and shapes according to design requirements. For example, long strip-shaped metal plates can be cut into rectangles, trapezoids, etc. of specific sizes for different parts of the guardrail. The precision can be controlled within millimeters or even smaller levels, reducing material waste and improving material utilization.
Complex Graphic Cutting: It can easily achieve the cutting of various complex graphics. Whether it is the decorative parts of the guardrail with unique shapes, such as carvings, hollow patterns, etc., or some connecting parts with irregular shapes, laser cutting machines can accurately cut them through programming to meet the diversified design requirements of metal guardrails.

Preparation before Welding
Groove Processing: In the welding and assembly process of metal guardrails, in order to ensure the welding quality, groove processing is often required for the welding parts of metal materials. Laser cutting machines can cut various shapes of grooves, such as V-shaped, U-shaped, etc., on the edges of metal pipes or plates, providing good conditions for the subsequent welding work and making the weld seam stronger and more beautiful.
Cutting Welding Positioning Holes: In order to ensure that all components of the metal guardrail can be accurately aligned during welding, laser cutting machines can cut precise positioning holes on the materials. These positioning holes can provide an accurate positioning reference for the welding fixtures, improving the precision and efficiency of welding and ensuring the overall structural stability of the guardrail.

Guardrail Repair and Reconstruction
Cutting and Replacing Damaged Parts: When some parts of the metal guardrail are damaged due to external impacts, corrosion, and other reasons, the laser cutting machine can quickly and accurately cut off the damaged parts, and then replace them with new parts to achieve the repair of the guardrail.
Guardrail Reconstruction and Upgrade: If it is necessary to reconstruct and upgrade the existing metal guardrail, such as increasing the height, changing the shape, etc., the laser cutting machine can cut and adjust the original guardrail materials to make them meet the new design requirements and complete the guardrail reconstruction work conveniently and quickly.
