Welding lines from Greece
With more than 20 years of experience in the construction of CNC machinery, Eurobend S.A. offers a wide range of equipment, such as 2D & 3D rebar benders, single line and multi-line straightening and cutting machines, wire/rebar mesh welders, continuous stirrup and spiral reinforcement machines, etc.
Together with the full line of rebar processing equipment, Eurobend offers a complete range of welding lines (“PL” series) covering every wire mesh production demand. Using the latest servo-motor technology, with user friendly software and advanced operation monitoring systems, the PL series are characterized by their design simplicity, minimal maintenance requirements and adaptability to every production requirement. The PL series of mesh welding lines are divided into different categories depending on the type of mesh produced and/or the sector served:
The “PLR I” series
offer unique flexibility in the production of wire mesh in form of sheets (and optionally in form of mesh rolls) as the independent welding heads can be accurately placed in different distances to achieve different line wire spacing. Feeding options for both the line and cross wires include either fully automatic feeding systems from coils (utilizing powered pay off stations or reel carriers) or semi automatic systems, using manual preloading wire carriers for the line wires and hopper type feeders for the cross wires. Optionally, cross wires can be fed through multi-line straightening machines (MELC series) featuring our Rotor straightening principle, offering exceptional straightening results and automatic wire diameter changeover. The PLR I series include also entry-level versions where both the line and cross wires are fed manually. Due to their modular design, even the entry level machines can be easily and efficiently upgraded and equipped with automatic wire coil feeding systems, mesh turning and stacking, mesh rolling devices etc. Standard operation speed for the PLR I series is 120 strokes (cross wires) per minute.
For increased output,
the PLR II series –featuring double cross wire feeding – offer operation speeds up to 200 strokes (cross wires) per minute. Due to high speed operation, the PLR II series are using automatic wire feeding from coil for both the line and cross wires as well as high speed mesh cutters. Optional items such as mesh turning, mesh stacking and mesh rolling device are available for the PLR II series.
For even higher output demands, certain versions of the PLR II series can produce simultaneously two meshes.
The PL series also includes the PLC series which are equipped with heavy duty welding heads, for the production of meshes with wire diameters up to 16mm and line wire spacing from 50mm upwards.
As the PLR II series offer increased speed in comparison with the PLR I series, the PL X-Y offer increased flexibility covering every application within the precast concrete element production.
The PL X-Y series
are designed for the production of standard and non-standard mesh designs and sizes, allowing the welding of uneven line and cross wire lengths and different line and cross wire diameters within the same mesh, due to the servo-driven moving welding head. The wide range of wire feeding options available in the PL X-Y includes feeding either from precut wires and/or from coils. When cross wires are fed from coil, straightening is achieved either through two-plane roller straightening devices or through MELC straightening units (either in single or multi-line format which allows automatic wire diameter changeovers).
The PL series include also welding machines for the fabrication of special mesh products, such as dowel side frames, dowel baskets, wall reinforcements, bar and mesh supports and lattice girders.
The PL SF series
of dowel side-frame and basket welding lines are known to be the industry leader in the US market since their lunch nearly 15 years ago. Featuring servo-driven operation, automatic feeding from coil and stacking of the final product, the PL SF series are used by almost every producer of dowel side-frame and baskets in the USA.
Using the same design and operating principle, the PLT series are compact welding lines for the fast and accurate production of wall reinforcements, also featuring servo-motor operation, automatic feeding from coil and automatic stacking. Design simplicity together with robust construction ensures high volume production and minimal space requirements.
For the production of various types of bar and mesh
supports the PLT B series offer unique flexibility and high output, due to the multi-line cross wire feeding system. Depending on the required production rates, PLT B series include versions with one, four or six cross wire feeding systems, where a complete part is produced in only two strokes (steps). Also, depending on the welding method required, the PLT B series are equipped with welding heads capable of producing either overlap or “T” (flash welds) between the cross and the runner wires. Additionally, in order to minimize labor cost, all versions of the PLT B series are available with a smart revolving stacking device.
Another member of the PL series is the PL TRIS,
for the production of lattice girders and various types of roof trusses as well as concrete slab elements. The PL TRIS uses servo-motors to feed the line and diagonal wires and also a powered height adjusting mechanism, thus minimizing changeover times. Equipped with a unique continuous bending system with retractable bending pins for the two diagonal wires and high speed cutting operations, ensure accurate and consistent production.
With the PL RM ROLL series,
all types and sizes of roll-mats can be produced accurately and efficiently directly from coil (of up to 16mm) or precut bars (up to 40mm). The PL RM ROLL series are equipped with independent and individually adjustable welding heads, covering different product widths and line wire spacings. Repositioning of the welding heads is a matter of seconds due to our unique “twist-lock” quick release mechanisms.
The latest addition to the PL series of welding lines is the Easyweld series,
which are designed for the fast accurate and efficient assembly of reinforcement cages. On the Easyweld series, the stirrups are loaded during the cage assembly process, providing continuous operation. Also, the support bars are welded inside the cage assembly, contributing in the column reinforcement and each welding is carried out with material addition, through the four robotic MIG stations used.
