Apparatus for manufacturing reinforcements

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for producing reinforcements, intended for construction purposes, of reinforced concrete plates for prefabricated ceilings, without manual aid. The apparatus comprises a straightening and cutting device 1 for the transverse rods 22 of the reinforcement having a transverse rod outlet path 4, a displacement apparatus 46 and a transverse rod magazine 7; a straightening, cutting and bending device 2 for the longitudinal rods 23 having a longitudinal rod outlet path 5; and a combination device 3 for producing the lattice girders 24, having a lattice girder outlet path 6 and a lattice girder magazine 8. With the aid of the transverse rod magazine 7 and two insertion robots 9 and 10 that are displaceable on rails 67, the reinforcement can be inserted and positioned under electronic control into the form 18 that is arranged on a pallet 15 and is moved through the apparatus on a travel path 13. A slip-on device 29 serving to slip spacers 30 onto the transverse rods 22 is disposed between the straightening and cutting device 1 and the transverse rod outlet path 4. The entire reinforcement is made from round wires and bands of structural steel wound into rings.
