Mesh welding lines for the precast and construction industry

Eurobend GmbH offers the most complete range of mesh welding lines for the production of any type of mesh used in precast operations and in the construction field in general. In addition to the offered broad range of welding lines for the production of standard & specialized construction mesh, engineering, precast or architectural mesh, Eurobend GmbH is introducing the newest method for the fully automatic production of Individual High Chairs.

Up to know, according to the manufacturer, the only two methods to produce any type and size of ‘high’ chairs was either by producing them in several separate stages (straightening, bending & welding) which is extremely time and labor intensive, as each production stage requires different machines and one operator per machine, or by using outdated cam operated machines, where their disadvantages are the over-complexity of the design and the time consuming product changeovers.

This special solution of Eurobend GmbH, offers compact machine design, flexibility on every product changeover, increased productivity and exceptional output accuracy.

Two machine versions available

There are two machine versions available, one produces high chairs with automatic insertion of plastic cups and a second one that produces plain-type high chairs with ‘over-bend’ of all four wire ends. This machine can produce also high chairs with straight ends, for dipping.

Both machine versions are offering the same advantages and features, which can be summarized as follows: their smart design offers almost unmanned operation, allowing also ample space for trouble free and precise product changeovers. High chairs with heights from 2” (50mm) up to 12” (305mm) can be produced with negligible manual involvement. In simple terms, the operator is only required to supervise the production process and remove the automatically produced high chairs from the stacking device.

Thanks to the minimal manual adjustments required, the machines ensure uninterrupted production. Both the line and cross wires are precisely fed to the machine, due to the use of powered pay off stations and use of servomotors.

Quick set up adjustment devices

All wire straightening units are using quick set up adjustment devices, for fast, accurate and trouble free wire diameter changeovers. Additional set up adjustment devices can be provided to cover a vast range of wire diameters, thus minimizing any downtimes spent on adjusting the straightening rollers.

The bending stages are fully synchronized, ensuring continuous operation totally eliminating any downtimes. On the machine version with the integrated unique cup insertion system the elimination of any loose cups is ensured, which is a major problem on any other cup insertion method and/or system. The machines are using a windows based, simplified software which requires minimal programming skills and features also fault diagnostics tools and remote access for technical support. The finished products are uniformly collected in a sliding discharge and stacking unit for easier removal.

With multiple units already in operation shortly after the introduction of the high chair machines, it is more than obvious that they will repeat the success story of the bar support machines offered by Eurobend GmbH and very soon they will dominate the high chair global market, according to the manufacturer.
