Product Introduction
Steel Cage Winding Machine
The steel cage winding machine from Xuhui (Shandong) Intelligent Equipment is the core automated equipment used for producing construction steel cages. The main bars are driven to rotate at a constant speed by rubber rollers, while the mobile trolley carrying the stirrups moves along the track in a straight line, synchronously completing the spiral winding of the stirrups. At the same time, the welding gun automatically welds the intersection points. Finally, the stirrups are automatically cut and separated to form the finished steel cage.
In terms of precision control, the equipment is equipped with a PLC numerical control system and servo motors, fully meeting the requirements of high-standard projects such as high-speed railways and bridges. During operation, parameters such as pitch and speed can be preset through the touch screen, and process formulas can be stored for future use. When dealing with complex structures such as double main ribs and double stirrups, the inner diameter can be adjusted via the hydraulic support ring without the need to replace molds.
The equipment offers exceptional adaptability and is suitable for various applications. Its intelligent design also features a protection level that adapts to damp and dusty environments. Equipped with a hydraulic emergency stop system and remote control functions, it not only ensures construction safety but also enhances operational flexibility, upgrading steel cage production from traditional “manual workshops” to standardized industrial manufacturing.
Product Features
The product features of Xuhui (Shandong) Intelligent Equipment’s steel cage winding machine are reflected in the deep integration of a precise and coordinated mechanical structure with an intelligent control system.
Product features
The equipment drives the main rib frame to rotate at a constant speed through two sets of friction drive rollers and is equipped with a stirrup feeding trolley that moves along a track. In combination with pneumatic electrodes, the welding points are completed automatically. The entire process eliminates the need for manual intervention in binding, fully replacing traditional repetitive labor.
In terms of precision control
The equipment is equipped with a numerical control system and a variable-frequency speed-regulation motor, keeping the stirrup spacing error far lower than the tolerance level of manual production. Parameters such as pitch, rotational speed, and others can be preset through the touch screen, and process formulas can be stored for future use. When handling complex structures such as double main ribs and double stirrups, the inner diameter can be automatically adjusted via the hydraulic support ring, enabling quick switching of production specifications without changing the mold.
The structural design emphasizes durability and adaptability
The rollers are made of thick-walled seamless steel pipes, and the wire-laying frames are available in various specifications to meet different requirements. The modular combination design allows the equipment to meet the production demands of fixed factory facilities while also being disassembled and transported to adapt to mobile operations at scattered construction sites. The base of the straightening machine can be raised and lowered for easy adjustment, meeting the needs of pile foundation construction across various scenarios.
The intelligent features are also reflected in the optimization of details
The equipment supports stepless adjustment of the winding speed, monitors winding tension in real time through sensors, and automatically compensates for tightness differences caused by variations in steel bar diameters. The welding system, combined with a constant pre-pressure electrode, reduces spark splashing and extends the lifespan of vulnerable components. Its protection level allows the equipment to operate reliably in damp and dusty construction environments while significantly lowering long-term maintenance costs.

Product Advantages
Steel Cage Winding Machine
Xuhui (Shandong) Intelligent Equipment’s steel cage winding machine integrates automation technology with engineering adaptability to deliver advantages across multiple dimensions—efficiency, precision, and cost. These benefits are detailed below:
- Leap in Efficiency
The core innovation lies in the synchronized operation of a gear-and-rack-driven traveling system and a sprocket-and-chain-driven rotating structure, ensuring the main ribs and stirrups rotate and wind in perfect coordination. A parallel workflow—combining frame forming and rib winding—significantly shortens production cycles. The modular design allows the equipment to be disassembled into standard transport units, meeting the frequent relocation needs of construction sites.
Controllable Precision
Equipped with a PLC servo positioning system, the machine allows operators to preset parameters via a touchscreen, reducing stirrup-spacing errors far below manual production standards. A hydraulic support system based on the parallelogram principle keeps cages of varying diameters aligned with the central axis during processing. CNC-machined material distribution rods and turntables ensure uniform spacing of main ribs.
User-Friendly Operation
The system features intuitive intelligent controls, enabling workers to operate independently after minimal training. The touchscreen supports storage of process parameters, eliminating the need for repeated calibration when switching between cage specifications. A remote control, emergency stop button, and infrared safety sensors ensure safe operation in dusty or humid environments. The straightening machine’s base is height-adjustable to accommodate different work surfaces, such as bridge decks or foundation pits.
Site Adaptability
The machine processes cages for applications ranging from building pile foundations to metro tunnels. It supports complex structures, including single or double main bars and single or double stirrups, making it suitable for high-speed rail, municipal bridges, and more. Designed for outdoor use, it is dust- and rain-resistant and maintains stable performance even under voltage fluctuations.
Durable Design
The transmission system uses a hardened-surface reducer, delivering high torque with low noise. Chain tension in the rotating assembly is adjustable to prevent synchronization drift over time. The welding electrode employs pneumatic constant-pressure technology to reduce spark splash and extend the lifespan of wear parts.
Precautions for Use
Before start-up inspection
Before starting the machine, inspect the equipment:
- Check that the guardrails and emergency-stop button are in good condition.
- Check that the cables and motor are free of damage.
- Check that parts such as the rubber rollers and chain are adequately lubricated.
If any part is short of oil or loose, rectify the problem before proceeding.
Operating rules
While the machine is running:
- Use only reinforcing bars whose size falls within the rated range.
- Do not alter the set parameters without authorization.
- Never reach into the rotating cage or any drive component.
- When using the remote control, keep a clear line of sight to the machine.
Environmental precautions
Protect the machine from rain and moisture. On dusty sites, clean the interior regularly. Do not start the machine when the supply voltage is unstable; this may damage the motor.
Emergency procedure
If re-bar jamming or abnormal noise occurs, immediately press the emergency-stop button, switch off the power, and only then investigate. Never run the machine with a fault.
Maintenance and upkeep
Maintenance of Xuhui Steel-Cage Winding Machines can be carried out along four core lines: daily cleaning, regular lubrication, component inspection, and environmental protection.
Daily basic maintenance
After every use, remove steel-bar debris, dust and oil from all surfaces. Pay special attention to the rotating drum, track and welding zone so that grit does not build up and accelerate wear. Before start-up, check three items every time:
- Is the emergency-stop button responsive?
- Are any cable connections loose?
- Is the chain properly lubricated and free of leaks?
Rectify any fault before switching on.
Regular lubrication and tightening
Grease every lubrication nipple once a week to keep the machine running smoothly. After 1–2 months of service, isolate the power and re-torque all bolts and nuts—especially those on the transmission gears and motor terminal strips—to prevent loosening and abnormal noise. At the same time, check the oil level in the reducer and hydraulic station; top up with the same grade of oil whenever necessary.
Special care for key components
Electrical system: once a week blow or brush dust out of the electrical cabinet (never use water or a damp cloth); ensure free air flow to avoid short circuits.
New machines: change the reducer oil for the first time after roughly 300 running hours (≈ one month). Flush the oil circuit before the change so that old contaminants cannot enter the new oil.
Wear parts: inspect the welding electrodes regularly and replace them as soon as the weld quality falls. If rubber rollers show score marks, clean off embedded particles and check bearing lubrication.
Environmental and idle-period protection
The machine is sensitive to moisture and dust. In wet weather, fit rain-covers over the electrical cabinets; on dusty sites, increase cleaning frequency. If the machine will be out of service for a long period, coat all metal surfaces with anti-rust oil and drape the whole unit with a dust-proof sheet to prevent rust caused by sun or rain.
