AMM mesh welding lines: combining precision and flexibility

Eurobend GmbH offers a comprehensive line of automatic machines for all precast concrete applications: from entry-level welding machines producing simple reinforcement elements to complex equipment for the production of special mesh, engineering mesh, mesh with openings, mesh with bent line and cross wires and bent mesh into baskets.

The Eurobend AMM series of mesh welding machines work from coil and offer highest flexibility at a very high level of automation without any changeover times. A number of innovations and unique design features make them the leading models on the market:

Machines available processing diameters up to 12mm, 16mm and 20mm, cold drawn or hot rolled material, from coil.

Depending on productivity requirements, the PL XY AMM models are available with one or two multi-point weld heads that weld up to six or twelve spot welds per cycle. For the highest productivity requirements, the PLC AMM models are available with up to 81 fixed weld heads. The PLC AMM models are by far the most productive in this category.

Any type of mesh can be produced automatically, immediately and without changeover and idle times.

The line and cross wires are fed into the welding portal immediately by two separate Flexiline rotor straightening and cutting machines with maintenance-free 5G rotors each with eight hyperbolic rollers and with extremely fast diameter change system. The diameter change takes place in less than 3 seconds without mechanical moving parts. Depending on the model, up to six diameters can be processed.

Direct feeding of the cross wires into the welding portal. The complicated, maintenance intensive and susceptible common cross wire feeding systems, where the cross wires have to be produced first and then the longitudinal wires, as it is the case in the lines with one straightening machine, are no longer necessary.

Thanks to the innovative concept, the AMM machines are the most compact on the market and have a minimal floor space demand, according to the supplier.

The machines are offered with precision bending systems:

Integrated, in-line universal bending modules for bending up individually selected line and cross wires, even within openings. The sophisticated design, the drive with servo motors each and the advanced modern software make them the most technically superior in the industry. They are characterized by highest precision and speed. Two bends are performed in 2.5 seconds with consistently precise bending geometry.

Integrated, in-line mesh bending stations for bending mesh into baskets.

No idle times during production. During the bending process of one mesh the next one is already in production.

Connection to master computer for the “Just-In-Time” production, synchronized with circulating pallet systems.

The AMM welding machines require only one operator.

Additionally available optional systems include:

Robotic transport systems for automatic transfer of produced mesh to circulating pallets.

Mesh buffer and storage systems.
