GHM Machinery’s steel cage winding machine represents a significant advancement in the production of steel cages, providing a more efficient and standardized alternative to manual binding. Below is a detailed description of the use process and the key features of the steel cage winding machine:
Use Process
- Setup and Preparation:
- Positioning: Place the machine in a designated area with adequate space for operation.
- Material Placement: Load the steel bars onto the feeding mechanism of the machine.
- Power Connection: Ensure the machine is connected to the appropriate power source and turned on.
- Programming and Configuration:
- PLC Control Setup: Use the touch screen interface to set the desired parameters, such as welding speed, spacing, and number of windings.
- Diameter Adjustment: Adjust the machine settings to match the required diameter of the steel cage, which can range from 0.3 meters to 5 meters.
- Parameter Storage: Save the programmed settings if repetitive production is required, taking advantage of the machine’s data storage capabilities.
- Operation:
- Feeding Steel Bars: Feed the steel bars into the machine. The machine’s feeding mechanism ensures that the bars are correctly positioned for winding.
- Automatic Winding and Welding: Start the machine. The PLC control system will guide the automatic winding and welding process. The machine will form and weld the steel bars into a cage structure according to the preset parameters.
- Monitoring: Continuously monitor the process via the touch screen interface to ensure everything is functioning as intended. Adjust settings if necessary without stopping the machine.
- Completion:
- Finishing: Once the steel cage is formed and welded, the machine will automatically stop.
- Unloading: Remove the finished steel cage from the machine and transport it to the next stage of the construction process or storage.
- Quality Check: Inspect the finished steel cage for consistency and quality. Ensure that the spacing and welding meet the specified standards.
Key Features
