MBK's ASM cage welding machine allows flexibility, individuality and economy all in one and can manufacture round reinforcement cages with outer cage diameters of minimum 236-274mm up to a maximum of 1,536-1,575mm - depending on the number of longitudinal wires and wire combinations. A maximum cage length up to 24,000mm is possible. The number of longitudinal wires is freely available, the longitudinal wire diameter is 12-25mm, optionally at 12-32mm - asynchronous divisions in one cage are also possible.

The winding wire diameter is 6-12mm and is also available in the dimensions 6-16mm (option); the spacing of the winding wire is located at 20-250mm. The wire routing of the winding wire is carried out by the coil via a wire guide stand and the guide rollers through the wire guide to the welding roll. A hydraulic cage support during production and cage removal is part of the stable production process, too.

The ASM is available in various variants and welding processes: manual welding by hand, arc welding single-fold and several times as well as resistance welding.

It is operated via a touchscreen, which ensures easy handling with regard to programming or setting of the reinforcement cage and welding data via stored programmes.

By default, the machine is supplied for the production of structural steel reinforcement cages for columns, bored and driven piles as well as masts in right-hand version, but on request, it is also available in left-hand execution.

Together with the customer and the in-house technical team, the individual coordination of the machine specification is carried out to the client's requirement.
