Method and apparatus to produce reinforcements for formworks

摘要

The computer controlled machine has one station (12) that selects specific sizes of metal rod from a number of reels (16). The rod is straightened and located in guides and is cut to specific lengths. The rods pass on to an output bed and are transferred in sequence to a second unit (A) that forms the reinforcement mesh. This involves the welding of the bars to cross fed strip material (20). The strip is fed from a main supply roll (22) as a number of parallel strips. After passing through the welding stage the completed mesh is wound on to a roll (26).
