At the intelligent rebar processing center of the Xiong'an-Xinzhou High-Speed Railway, the rebar processing that once required two workers to carry rebars and often had dimensional deviations of several centimeters now achieves millimeter-level precision. Behind this leap in precision lies the comprehensive application of intelligent
CNC rebar processing systems.
In the integrated processing plants of No. 19 and No. 20 branch tunnels of the Yangtze River Water Diversion to Hanjiang River Project, robots have become the core force on the production line. With remarkable accuracy and efficiency, they perform a series of complex processes from steel grabbing, positioning, cutting to welding.
This "steel castle", carefully built in accordance with the standards of "factoryization, intensification, specialization, mechanization, automation, and informatization", has completely transformed the traditional rebar processing model.

A
CNC vertical rebar bending center is a high-performance automated device precisely controlled by a PLC. It is mainly used to replace traditional manual processing methods for efficient bending and forming of bar-shaped rebars.
Its core application fields include rebar skeleton processing in projects such as high-rise buildings, expressways, high-speed railways, and large bridges.
This equipment can process high-strength threaded rebars with a maximum diameter of Φ32mm. It adopts an imported dedicated CNC control system, servo motors of well-known brands, and is easy to operate with a touchscreen control interface.
The electronic control program can store up to hundreds of patterns and is equipped with a database.
The core advantages of the CNC vertical rebar
bending center lie in its precise control capability and remarkable production efficiency.
Taking the intelligent CNC rebar processing system used at the Nanyanzhuang Beam Manufacturing Plant of the Xiong'an-Xinzhou High-Speed Railway as an example, its bending angle error is strictly controlled within ±1 degree, and the length error does not exceed ±2 millimeters.
This level of precision perfectly meets the strict requirements for component accuracy in high-speed railway construction.
In terms of production efficiency, the processing speed of CNC equipment is more than three to four times that of traditional processes. The average daily processing volume is as high as 5,500 pieces, which can replace 12 workers and is more than 10 times the output of traditional processing equipment.
The equipment adopts a rack-and-pinion moving structure, featuring low noise and convenient maintenance.
In the construction project of the Xiong'an-Xinzhou High-Speed Railway, the comprehensive application of intelligent CNC rebar processing systems has injected "smart momentum" into high-speed railway construction.
The No. 2 Rebar Processing Plant of Contract Section XJZQ-4 of the Xiangyang-Jingmen Railway under China Railway 15th Bureau Group is equipped with various advanced intelligent mechanical equipment such as a CNC vertical double-head rebar bending center, laying a solid foundation for improving the efficiency and quality of rebar processing.
In the integrated processing plant of Civil Engineering Contract Section 8 of the Yangtze River Water Diversion to Hanjiang River Project, the CNC vertical rebar bending center, together with other high-tech equipment, weaves an efficient and precise production line.
The work that previously required 45 operators to complete through multiple processes can now be finished with the assistance of only 12 operators per day.
According to market research reports, the
automatic rebar processing machinery industry is entering a period of rapid growth. In 2025, the global scale of the automatic rebar processing machinery industry will continue to expand, and the market competition pattern will gradually become clear.
These equipment can be divided into three major categories according to different product types: rebar strengthening machinery, rebar forming machinery, and rebar welding machinery.
From the perspective of application fields, CNC vertical rebar bending centers are mainly used in infrastructure projects such as industrial and civil buildings, highway bridges and tunnels, and mines.
Future development trends indicate that automation and intelligence will become the main development directions of rebar processing machinery.
At the 2025 BICES Exhibition in Beijing, the "Rebar Prestressing Zone" focused on the "new technologies, new products, and new achievements" of participating enterprises in recent years, demonstrating to the industry the development trends and achievements of rebar and prestressing machinery.
Key enterprises such as Shandong Zhongji Luyuan Machinery Co., Ltd. have launched innovative products, promoting the industry to move towards high-end and intelligent development.
With the popularization of the concept of smart construction sites, CNC vertical rebar bending centers will become an important support for the intelligent transformation of the construction industry.

The rebar CNC processing center at Yuanshi Road Station of Phase I of Ningbo Rail Transit Line 5 is the most intelligent rebar processing center in the history of Ningbo Rail Transit construction.
This fully enclosed steel structure workshop covering an area of nearly 2,000 square meters has reduced the number of workers required for the original process from 7 to 2, while the rebar processing volume completed is three times that of the past.
Intelligent robotic arms are like dancers with life, flexibly drawing perfect arcs in the air. Straightening, welding, cutting, stacking... a series of complex processes are smoothly completed under their "fingers", as if performing a magnificent "steel ballet".
In the future, with the further development of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies, CNC rebar bending centers will achieve a higher degree of automation and intelligence.
These devices will be able to communicate with the central management system in real time and automatically adjust production plans according to the construction progress, becoming an indispensable core link of "smart construction sites".
At the BICES 2025 Exhibition in September, the Rebar Prestressing Zone has shown us this trend - the intelligent rebar processing production line launched by Shandong Zhongji Luyuan Machinery Co., Ltd. is leading the industry towards high-end and intelligent development.
The future has arrived, and the CNC vertical rebar bending center is redefining the boundaries of rebar bar bending.
