IDEA assembles cages by means of the patented ‘Schnell System’ (Patented): using three thin longitudinal wires, which may be welded to any point of the stirrup’s exterior surface IDEA is able to half-assemble lattice girders of stirrups of any shape and size.
Its operation is extremely simple: stirrups are fed; next they are welded to the three longitudinal wires by the welding clamps; the whole girder is made to slide forward while its motion is previously set by the computer and may be constantly checked. The half-assembled girder is now ready to be finished off by fixing the frame carrying bars.
Fixed welding unit.
3 welding heads each unit may be moved to different positions both in height and lengthwise and may rotate to reach the ideal welding point. The vertical positioning is performed by a gearmotor.

Mobile traction unit.
It consists of: 1 mobile head which is driven by an electronic motor along the girder supporting framework and is equipped with 3 vices to clamp/release the longitudinal wires. Girder traction frame. The pitch may be set on the computer.
Central framework
It consists of a supporting framework where the half-assembled lattice girder slides during manufacture and slides to remove assembled girders.
Industrial computer mod. ‘Idea-Control’, designed to work in very harsh environments. It is equipped with an alphanumeric display and manages all the functions performed by the machine.
