Application

Bar Bending Machine

GIC revolutionizes Bar Bending Machines, boosting efficiency, safety, and quality in Civil Engineering projects.

Introduction

The bar bending machine plays a vital role in civil engineering structural work and is an essential tool for construction experts. Its primary function is to bend bars accurately, offering great versatility in bending various types of bars used in construction, even the toughest ones. This machine is widely used due to its precision in bending angles, making it indispensable for construction companies to meet their rebar needs.

By employing the bar bending machine, workers can offload the laborious task of bending rods, enabling them to focus on other crucial aspects of their work. There are several advantages associated with using this machine:

  • It performs bending operations in a systematic manner.
  • It significantly increases work speed, leading to shorter overall project completion times.
  • It allows workers to allocate more time to other important structural areas.
  • The machines’ portability allows for easy transportation and usage wherever needed.
  • The high-speed cutting ability reduces the risk of accidents and injuries during the construction process.

Challenges

The challenges associated with using a manual Bar Bending machine stem from its reliance on manual processes, which give rise to the following issues:

  1. Product Quality
  2. Work speed
  3. Operator safety
  4. Machine breakdown
  5. Safeguarding the motor from supply fluctuations and faults.

Solution

Control Panel IBM55

To overcome these challenges, the Bending Machine can be upgraded with GIC Products (Genie NX PLC – Genie G8DD T11B, SMPS 1A/0.5A, VMR – MD21DF, Hour Meter – 35A51A), which offer the following solutions:

The implementation of a PLC enables the machine to operate in Auto mode and Semi Auto mode, resulting in improved work speed and enhanced product accuracy.

The PLC also facilitates the display and modification of selected parameters, allowing for the adjustment of the machine’s sequence or operation, thus enhancing product quality.

The PLC further contributes to reducing breakdown time through the I/O Status display, providing valuable assistance to maintenance engineers.

The addition of an Hour meter enables users to monitor the working hours of the machine and track the number of bends on a bar.

Incorporating a Voltage Monitoring Relay safeguards the Motor against supply faults such as phase loss, phase reverse, phase unbalance, Under voltage, and over-voltage, effectively extending the motor’s lifespan.

The GIC Effect

The implementation of GIC Products in the Bending Machine brings numerous valuable benefits:

  • The increased work speed reduces overall processing time, freeing up more time for other essential tasks related to the project.
  • The portability of the machine allows for easy movement, enhancing flexibility and efficiency in various work locations.
  • Operator safety is significantly improved, ensuring a secure working environment.
  • With the Hour meter, predictive maintenance becomes feasible, enabling proactive planning and minimizing downtime.
  • The GIC Products provide reliable protection to the Motor, ensuring its longevity and smooth operation.
