Innovation: Butterfly formwork

Concrete is globally available and easy to process. Precast elements can be produced in various ways. One common method is to use tilt tables on which forms are placed for concrete pouring. This approach involves several work steps performed all in the same place, from preparatory work to concrete pouring. Carousel production lines with a high degree of automation represent the current state of the art. On such lines, the steel tables used for concrete placement are conveyed from one work station to the next. At each station, a defined work step is carried out, such as preparing the form or...
