Cage making machine for the production of round cages with welded spirals and pre-set pitch. The machine is characterized by a reduced longitudinal length. The welding process is performed by a mobile unit and the bar loading zone is a telescope, for this reason, during the welding operation, the length decreases while the welding head moves forward. Unwinding pay-off Placed at the side of the machine’s body, it holds the coil that is going to produce the spiral. The pay-off moves together with the mobile disk where the welding machine has been placed. Ray Its aim is that of separating the bars that are going to produce the cage. The ray is hooked to the mobile disk, therefore it has the same rotating movement and it reduces itself while the welding head moves forward.   Their function is to support the cage during its fabrication. They are raised automatically and stopped as soon as the supporting rollers reach the cage. Fixed plate Bored plate rotating in a synchronised way with the mobile plate; its clamps are used to secure the rebars. Mobile plate This plate is bored in the same way as the fixed plate. Once you have set the diameter of the cage you are going to produce, the bushes are placed and secured to the plate. The rebars fed through the dial are then made to slide through these bushes. Cages are produced by moving the mobile plate forward and forming a spiral around the rebars.

The new CM PRO Telescope control is incorporated in the base structure so that the machine takes up less space, at the same time freeing the operator working area. It is fitted with a touch screen, flash memory, and provision has been made for a serial line. In addition, it allows changing the cage execution speed without interrupting the working cycle, producing cages with variable pitch, defining how many cross-pieces to weld and automatically lifting the supports.

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.

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.
