Introducing the gmt pile cage machine

Designed For Efficient Pile Cage Fabrication

A labour saving as only one operator is required to:

  • The changeover of discs without extra labour or the use of a crane
  • Position and reposition bushes within the ring discs
  • Adjustment of all parameters for welding from the control panel
  • A provision of a pneumatic-clamp-bush for bars up to 32 mm with central release
  • “Smart assistance” technology for the automatic calculation of cage diameters and positioning of bushes
  • Software control of all adjustments through laser sensor (not mechanical)
  • "Smart load" of bars to assist the operator to position each bar correctly
  • Easy insertion of lifting bands or rings within the cage before commencing fabrication
  • An option to purchase an upgraded straightening unit with more powerful motors to produce a 20 mm dia spiral

PileFab TECHNOLOGY

The PC/PLC provides for

  • An Ethernet Connection for data transfer both to and from the machine providing production data is possible

  • Easy Internet access for technical support and software updates

  • A Wireless – Lan connection extension upon request

PileFab FLEXIBILITY

RING-DISCS

  • Each ring disk offers an extensive range of diameter positions for cage fabrication.
  • The provision of a quick changeover of discs without the requirement of extra labour and an overhead crane.

Easy insertion of lifting or support rings during setup and production of the pilecage

  • Lifting bands or support rings are inserted against the face of ring disc prior to the insertion of the longitudinal bars during the set up process
  • The machine automatically stops for the insertion of the next lifting band or support ring during the production process.

PileFab WELDING

High quality welding penetration with any requirement for adjustment easily made from the control of software on the touch screen

  • With the use of the laser sensor system it allows for the accurate detection of the longitudinal bars and therefore only necessitates a once only setting for each diameter.
  • The welding setting is operated by touch screen during the setting and the production process.

PileFab CONTROL PROCEDURES INCLUDE

  • The control of compressed air and welding gas
  • The control of the weld flow and penetration
  • The detection of any sensor fault

PileFab SELF DIAGNOSIS

  • The computer screen will alert the operator should errors occur
  • Simple errors can be corrected by the operator following training
  • Defect detection (all - input)
  • Defect detection (all - output)
  • The provision of a remote service connection direct to our engineers for find and fix the fault on the machine via the software drive and sensor.
PileFab MOTORISED WELDING ROBOT

PileFab MOTORISED WELDING ROBOT

  • A robust system with motorized arm
  • The robust assembly provides the robot arm more stability allowing for better welding performance and speed
  • Welding torch flow can be adjusted easily

PileFab DOUBLE TORCH WELDING HEAD

  • The is an extra option for double welding of the spiral during the production process
  • This option allows the welding robot to weld the spiral on both sides of the longitude bar
PileFab DOUBLE TORCH WELDING

PileFab DOUBLE TORCH WELDING

  • As a further option, the Robot Head can be equipped with double torch for welding twin longitude bars

  • The machine has the provision a servo drive motors for less power consumption and a greater higher performance
  • Improved motion control
  • Greater speed
  • Reduced noise

PileFab ACCESSORIES

Automatic lock bar system

  • An easy and strong system for locking the bars with pneumatic cylinder and a centralized release button from the operator control panel.
  • Assists in making the machine a one-man operation
  • From 10mm - 32 mm diameter only 40mm and 50mm extra option

PileFab ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES FOR PURCHASE
