LYGH2500 Cage Roller Welding Machine: Variable Pitch + Multi-Shape Adaptation Empowering Efficient Cage Production

Traditional manual processing of a Φ2000mm×12m cylindrical cage requires 8-10 people to cooperate, taking 6 hours per section, and only 1-2 sections can be completed per single shift (8 hours). Relying on the SAF 3000 welding unit and fully automatic wire feeding system, the CM PRO 2500 only needs 2 operators per unit (1 person monitors parameters, 1 person assists in feeding), and the processing time of a 12m cage is shortened to 40 minutes. It can stably produce 10-12 sections per single shift, with a maximum daily output of 24 sections (two-shift system). Data from a cross-river bridge project department shows that after the equipment was put into use, the cage processing team was reduced from 15 people to 3 people, and the monthly output increased from 80 sections to 240 sections, with a 3-fold increase in production efficiency.


Product Details

he CM PRO 2500 Cage Roller Welding Machine is an intelligent core equipment specially designed for cage processing in large-scale infrastructure projects. It takes "variable pitch spiral winding + multi-shape cage compatibility" as its core competitiveness, and can process cylindrical cages with a maximum diameter of 2500mm. At the same time, it breaks through the single-shape limitation of traditional equipment and can directly produce square, rectangular cages and special-structured cages with 90° bends at the ends, bottleneck-type and pointed-type cages. Relying on the precise empowerment of the SAF 3000 fully automatic welding unit, the equipment realizes the full-process automation from main reinforcement positioning to spiral winding and welding forming. Currently, it has become a preferred processing equipment for bridge pile foundations, wind power foundations, large-scale utility tunnels and other projects, completely solving the pain points of traditional processing such as "low efficiency, single shape, and cumbersome pitch adjustment".

Core Configuration: SAF 3000 Welding Unit + Modular Structure Laying a Solid Foundation for Performance

The high productivity and flexibility of the equipment are not supported by a single component, but based on the full-chain optimized design of "welding core + transmission system + positioning module". The key configuration highlights directly address the engineering processing needs:
  • SAF 3000 Fully Automatic Welding Unit: As the "welding heart" of the equipment, this unit adopts twin-wire synchronous welding technology and is matched with an intermediate frequency inverter welding power supply. The welding speed of a single welding head reaches 1.2 times per second, which is 60% more efficient than traditional single-wire welding machines. It monitors current and voltage parameters in real time during welding. When wire deviation or current fluctuation occurs, the system can automatically adjust within 0.3 seconds to ensure uniform weld penetration - the penetration can reach 0.3 times the diameter of the steel bar, far exceeding the requirements of the *Code for Welding and Acceptance of Steel Bars*, and the pass rate of weld pull strength test is stably above 99.8%. The unit is equipped with an automatic slag cleaning device, which completes slag cleaning within 10 seconds after welding without manual secondary processing.

  • Variable Pitch Spiral Winding System: Equipped with a spiral winding mechanism driven by a servo motor, the pitch parameters can be preset through the PLC numerical control system (supporting stepless adjustment within the range of 50-300mm). During the winding process, the spindle speed and the wire feeding speed of the stirrup are intelligently linked to ensure a pitch error of ≤±2mm. Aiming at the special pitch requirement of "dense at the bottom and uniform in the middle" in pile foundation engineering, the equipment can preset 3 different pitch parameters and complete variable-pitch winding with one key without stopping for adjustment in the middle, saving 40% of variable-pitch time compared with traditional equipment.

  • Multi-Shape Compatible Structure Design: Breaking through the limitation of traditional cylindrical cage processing, the equipment is equipped with an adjustable main reinforcement positioning module - it can quickly adapt to the processing of Φ12-40mm main reinforcement by replacing positioning chucks of different specifications; when processing rectangular and square cages, it only needs to select the corresponding shape template on the touch screen, and the positioning module automatically adjusts the main reinforcement spacing (minimum spacing 100mm, maximum spacing 600mm) without replacing the core mold. For special cages with 90° bends at the ends, bottleneck-type or pointed-type, the equipment integrates an end forming mechanism, with a bending angle accuracy of ±1° and a bottleneck section diameter error of ≤±3mm, meeting the customized needs of wind power foundations and special pile foundations.

  • Large-Diameter Stable Support System: Aiming at the processing of extra-large diameter cages with a maximum of Φ2500mm, the equipment adopts a support structure of "double rotating discs + middle supporting rollers" - the fixed rotating disc and movable rotating disc are integrally forged with quenched and tempered steel, with a load-bearing capacity of up to 5 tons; the middle supporting roller group can automatically adjust the spacing according to the cage length (stepless adaptation within the range of 2-20m), effectively avoiding the "eccentric shaking" problem when the large-diameter cage rotates and ensuring stable welding process.

Core Performance: Implementation of Three Major Advantages of High Efficiency + Flexibility + Stability

1. High-Efficiency Production: Single-Shift Output Increased by 3 Times Compared with Traditional Methods

Traditional manual processing of a Φ2000mm×12m cylindrical cage requires 8-10 people to cooperate, taking 6 hours per section, and only 1-2 sections can be completed per single shift (8 hours). Relying on the SAF 3000 welding unit and fully automatic wire feeding system, the CM PRO 2500 only needs 2 operators per unit (1 person monitors parameters, 1 person assists in feeding), and the processing time of a 12m cage is shortened to 40 minutes. It can stably produce 10-12 sections per single shift, with a maximum daily output of 24 sections (two-shift system). Data from a cross-river bridge project department shows that after the equipment was put into use, the cage processing team was reduced from 15 people to 3 people, and the monthly output increased from 80 sections to 240 sections, with a 3-fold increase in production efficiency.

2. Flexible Adaptation: Multi-Scenario Switching Without "Stopping for Mold Change"

Aiming at the pain point of "alternate production of multi-specification cages" in infrastructure projects, the equipment has optimized the shape switching process: switching from a Φ2500mm cylindrical cage to an 800×800mm square cage only takes 30 minutes to complete the positioning module adjustment and parameter setting; the processing of special structures such as end bends and bottlenecks can be started by calling the preset template on the touch screen without additional modification. In a comprehensive utility tunnel project, the equipment completed the production of three shapes in one day: "cylindrical pile foundation cage (Φ1800mm) → rectangular utility tunnel cage (1200×1000mm) → pointed anti-pull pile cage (Φ1500mm)", with no shutdown waiting during the switching process, and the adaptation efficiency is far higher than that of traditional equipment.

3. Stable Quality: "Zero Rework" in Acceptance Reducing Late Costs

The twin-wire synchronous welding technology of the SAF 3000 welding unit enables the weld fullness to reach 99.6%, and there are no internal pores, inclusions and other defects in ultrasonic flaw detection; the variable pitch winding system adopts servo closed-loop control, with a pitch error of ≤±2mm and a main reinforcement spacing accuracy of ±3mm, both better than the requirements of the *Code for Construction Quality Acceptance of Concrete Structure Engineering*. In a wind power foundation project, the Φ2500mm extra-large diameter cage processed by the equipment passed the third-party inspection, with a diameter consistency error of ≤±4mm and a weld joint tensile strength of 120kN. The on-site hoisting and docking pass rate was 100%, reducing the acceptance and rectification time by 80% compared with manual processing.

Adaptation Scenarios: Covering All Needs of Large-Scale Infrastructure

With its large-diameter adaptation and multi-shape processing capabilities, the CM PRO 2500 is widely used in various large-scale infrastructure scenarios:
  • Bridge and High-Speed Railway Infrastructure: Adapting to the processing of large-diameter pile foundation cages (Φ1500-2500mm) for cross-river bridges and high-speed railway super-large bridges, the variable pitch function meets the reinforcement densification requirements at different depths of pile foundations;

  • Wind Power and New Energy Foundations: Producing bottleneck-type and pointed-type cages for wind turbine tower foundations, the Φ2500mm extra-large diameter adapts to the load-bearing needs of high-power wind power equipment;

  • Municipal and Utility Tunnel Engineering: Processing rectangular and square cages (600×600mm-1500×1200mm) for urban comprehensive utility tunnels, adapting to the reinforcement processing needs of utility tunnel walls and top slabs;

  • Special Engineering Fields: Used for customized cage processing in projects such as port terminals and deep foundation pit support, the 90° end bending function meets the connection needs between cages and embedded parts.

Operation and Maintenance: Easy to Learn Even for Novices

The equipment is equipped with a 10-inch high-definition touch screen, with built-in 80+ sets of parameter templates for common cage processing. Novice operators can independently complete parameter settings after 2 hours of training. Daily maintenance only requires three core tasks: checking the wire remaining and contact tip wear of the SAF 3000 welding unit every day; cleaning the welding slag in the positioning holes of the rotating disc every week; checking the lubricating oil level of the servo motor and reducer every month, without the need for a professional maintenance team. The core components of the equipment (SAF 3000 welding unit, servo motor) provide a 2-year warranty, and 28 service outlets across the country provide on-site maintenance within 48 hours to ensure the continuous construction needs of the construction site.
