Automatic Continuous Web Line SRGR36

General description

The SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line (Zig Zag Wire Bending Machine) is an advanced production system engineered for the automated manufacturing of continuous steel web members used in Open Web Steel Joists (OWSJ).

Designed for high-output environments, the SRGR36 transforms straight steel bars into precision-formed web structures (“Zig Zag” shape profile) with consistent geometry, ensuring optimal performance in downstream assembly and welding processes.

From Steel Bar to Structural Web – Fully Automated (on request)

The SRGR36 is not just a bending machine (Zig Zag Wire Bending Machine) —it is a complete production line that streamlines every stage of the process:

  • material feeding
  • precision forming
  • cutting to length
  • automated unloading

This integrated approach reduces manual intervention, increases repeatability, and ensures a continuous and efficient workflow within modern steel fabrication plants.

Designed for Industrial Productivity

Built to meet the demands of large-scale production, the SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line enables manufacturers to achieve high throughput while maintaining strict dimensional accuracy.

Its architecture allows seamless integration with:

  • bar cutting systems
  • robotic welding lines
  • automated handling equipment

For operations focused on maximizing uptime, the system can be configured with advanced feeding solutions, including automated bar storage or continuous coil feeding.

Precision Engineering at the Core

At the heart of the SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line lies a high-accuracy electromechanical forming system, designed to produce consistent and symmetrical web geometries.

Through an intuitive HMI interface, operators can easily set key parameters such as:

  • web pitch
  • web height
  • production sequences

The system automatically adjusts its movements to match the required geometry, ensuring repeatability across production batches and eliminating variability typical of manual processes.

Optimized Workflow, Minimal Operator Effort

The SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line is designed for efficient single-operator management.

The operator’s role is limited to:

  • loading steel bars into the infeed system
  • supervising production via the control interface
  • unloading finished components

All critical operations—including feeding, forming, positioning, and cutting—are fully automated, reducing physical strain and improving workplace safety.

Consistent Quality for Structural Applications

Every component produced by the SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line meets the strict requirements of structural steel applications.

The system ensures:

  • accurate alignment of web geometry
  • consistent spacing between nodes
  • high planarity and symmetry

This results in easier assembly, improved welding quality, and enhanced structural performance of the final joist.

Flexible Configuration for Different Production Needs

The SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line can be tailored to match different production strategies:

  • Bar-fed configuration for standard operations
  • Automated storage systems for high-efficiency workflows
  • Coil-fed solutions for continuous production and reduced material waste

This flexibility allows manufacturers to adapt the system to their plant layout and production goals.

A Reliable Solution for Steel Fabricators

Engineered for durability and long-term performance, the SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line combines robust mechanical design with high-quality industrial components. The result is a reliable production line capable of operating under demanding conditions while maintaining consistent output quality.

Applications

The SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line is ideal for:

  • Open Web Steel Joist manufacturers
  • Structural steel fabricators
  • Industrial construction suppliers
  • Prefabrication plants

Improve Efficiency Across Your Production Line

With its combination of automation, precision, and scalability, the SRGR36 Automatic Continuous Web Line represents a strategic investment for companies aiming to optimize steel web production and reduce operational costs.
