The working principle of a steel cage winding machine revolves around its role as a specialized CNC equipment tailored for winding external bars onto steel cage structures, addressing key challenges in traditional steel cage fabrication.
Preparation and Setup:
Construction units manually weld the main bars and internal reinforcing rings to create the initial skeleton of the steel cage. The prefabricated steel cage frame is then positioned between the two rollers of the steel cage winding machine, ready for further processing.
Adjustment and Configuration:
Prior to operation, the distance between the two rollers of the steel cage winding machine is adjusted to align with the specific construction requirements. This ensures optimal winding of the bars around the steel cage frame.
Winding Process:
Coiled bars, also known as winding reinforcements, are fed through a straightener and guided into the steel cage structure. The broken ends of these coiled reinforcements are initially welded to the main reinforcement of the steel cage.
Winding and Welding:
As the coiled reinforcement is guided through fixed and moving rotating disks, it is wound around the main reinforcement in a controlled manner. Simultaneously, welding operations are performed to securely bond the winding reinforcement to the main reinforcement, forming a cohesive steel cage structure.
Final Product:
Upon completion of the winding and welding process, the steel cage winding machine produces a finished product – a robust steel cage assembly ready for use in various construction applications, particularly in bored pile construction projects.
In summary, the steel cage winding machine streamlines the fabrication process of steel cages by automating the winding of external bars onto prefabricated cage frames. By optimizing efficiency, flexibility, and precision, it offers a cost-effective solution to meet the evolving demands of modern construction projects.
