Zhongji Luyuan Teams Up with China Railway 24th Bureau to Establish Smart Rebar Processing Center for Zhang-Shan High-Speed Rail
The Zhangzhou–Shantou High-speed Railway (Zhang-Shan HSR), also known as the Zhang-Shan Section of the Ningbo–Guangzhou High-speed Railway, is a critical part of China’s "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" high-speed rail network. Stretching approximately 175 kilometers, the line connects Zhangzhou in Fujian Province with Shantou in Guangdong Province. Designed for speeds of up to 350 km/h, it features seven stations along its route.
Construction of the Zhang-Shan HSR officially commenced on February 4, 2024, marking a significant milestone in establishing the southeast coastal passenger transport corridor connecting Guangzhou, Shantou, Zhangzhou, Xiamen, and Fuzhou. Upon completion, the project will greatly improve connectivity between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Haixi Economic Zone, fostering enhanced economic collaboration between southern Fujian and the Pearl River Delta.
In partnership with the China Railway 24th Bureau, Zhongji Luyuan is building an advanced intelligent rebar processing center equipped with smart machinery and automated transport systems. This state-of-the-art facility will reduce manual labor and significantly increase productivity, ensuring high efficiency in supporting the railway’s construction needs.
Industry-Leading Rebar Cage Welding Station
At the heart of this facility is Zhongji Luyuan’s cutting-edge rebar cage welding station, a next-generation solution that sets new standards for efficiency in rebar manufacturing. This fully automated workstation features 8 advanced robotic welding arms that work in perfect synchronization to perform all key tasks, including automatic main bar feeding, precise alignment, high-accuracy detection, and flawless cage welding—entirely without human intervention.
This breakthrough innovation transforms a traditionally complex, manual process into a streamlined, automated production line. As a result, it significantly boosts output while minimizing human error, enhancing both productivity and reliability.
Intelligent Data, Smarter Construction
The rebar cage welding station is equipped with an advanced smart data collection system that accurately records the precise length of each main bar in every cage. This data-driven approach ensures highly accurate downstream processing and has replaced the traditional double-cage splicing method. As a result, project management becomes more digital, traceable, and intelligent, realizing the vision of “Data-Driven Smart Construction.”
Manpower Efficiency and Versatile Design
Traditionally, rebar cage fabrication required 3 to 4 skilled workers. With Zhongji Luyuan’s innovative solution, a single operator can now manage the entire process, significantly saving on labor, reducing costs, and enhancing safety. This development represents not only a leap in production efficiency but also a transformation in the entire construction workflow.
Designed for maximum flexibility, the welding station accommodates both single and double main bars, as well as single or dual spiral wires. This versatile, multi-functional design ensures the station can meet the demands of a wide range of projects, greatly enhancing its market competitiveness.
The introduction of this intelligent rebar cage welding station marks a significant milestone in the industrialization and automation of the construction sector. It highlights Zhongji Luyuan’s continued commitment to innovation, excellence, and the advancement of smart infrastructure development for the future.
