PRECAST MESH PRODUCTION

EUROBEND, offers solutions for every precast firm regardless of size and application, with the well established and innovative PL XY ESP SERIES of welding lines in the production of engineering, customized mesh and mesh with openings for various precast elements

 

The EUROBEND machines, equipped with high end innovative features, sophisticated electronics, computer software and hardware with a unique redundant memory system for eliminating the possibility of production down times due to hard disk defects or data losses and an interface for exchanging production data using various industrial formats (such as “BVBS”, “UNITECHNIK” etc.) are easy to operate and due to the thoughtful modular design easy to maintain.

 

 

FLEXIBLE MESH WELDING LINES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CUSTOMIZED MESH AND MESH WITH OPENINGS

 

Production of standard mesh, customized mesh and mesh with openings

The production of standard mesh, customized mesh and special mesh with openings is covered by the unique high-end CNC programmable mesh welding line PL XY ESP working from pre-cut bars (patent).

 

It produces mesh with maximum diameter up to Ø20mm for both, line and cross wires. The PL XY is equipped with either one or two moving welding blocks, achieving up to 400 welding points per minute. The produced mesh can have min. line wire spacing of 50 mm (and above, in steps of 50 mm) and min. cross wire spacing of 50 mm (above infinitely programmable) for all diameters. Any mesh with the above characteristics can be produced instantly, one type after the other, without any adjustments. Everything is controlled by the machine’s computer program.

 

The line wires are fed manually into pre-selected grippers who are mounted on a carrier. The carrier, then, inserts automatically the line wires into the welding machine and returns to the start-up position for reloading, while the machine welds the mesh. Each gripper is equipped with a led-light, facilitating the line-wire feeding. This system eliminates practically the idle time between two meshes produced.

 

A secondary feeding system on the line wire carrier enables the production of mesh with variable line wire lengths within the same (material saving mesh) or mesh with openings.

 

The cross wires are fed into the welding line automatically from a cross wire feeder. A secondary cross wire feeding and positioning system enables the production of mesh with variable cross wire lengths and mesh with openings. In this case a second auxiliary display facilitates the feeding of the special cross wire lengths.

 

 

The produced mesh is removed automatically through a mesh stacking and roller conveyor system.

 

Production of the pre-cut bars

Next to the mesh welding line, an independently operated multi rotor straightening and cutting machine of the MELC Flexiline series using EUROBEND’s 4G rotor with hyperbolically profiled rollers and our patented wire convergence guiding system ensure perfect straightening and length accuracies and allow diameter changes in 2-3 seconds without any moving mechanical parts produces just-in-time or according to the day’s production schedule the needed pre-cut bars in the requested diameters.

 

The extreme fast diameter changing system offers the unique possibility to produce one after the other the pre-cut bars for each mesh in a batch. The bars are delivered to a pocket chain conveyor, each pocket receiving the bars for each mesh.

 

Thus the material handling, storage and logistics issues are simplified guarantying personnel and investment savings.

 

The combination of the unmatched flexibility offered by the PL XY Twin welding machine, together with the straightening superiority and the diameter changes within seconds of the MELC FLEXILINE Rotor Straightening & Cutting machine, is the first and most economic choice for all mesh producing factories for the just-in-time production of standard and customized mesh and mesh with openings for all pre-cast applications.
