When it comes to infrastructure projects like highways, bridges, and tunnels, the quality of steel reinforcement directly impacts structural safety and durability. Xuhui (Shandong) Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., located in the engineering machinery manufacturing hub of Heze, Shandong, has emerged as a leading provider of automated steel cage forming solutions. With over 15 years of experience in rebar processing equipment R&D, our company specializes in manufacturing custom steel cage forming machines that meet international standards while addressing specific project requirements.
Why Choose Custom Steel Cage Forming Machines?
Traditional manual steel cage fabrication faces several challenges in modern construction projects: inconsistent quality, low production efficiency, high labor costs, and safety risks. Our automated steel cage forming machines address these issues through:
1. Precision Engineering: All machines adopt Siemens PLC control systems with ±1mm positioning accuracy, ensuring each steel cage meets design specifications. The welding parameters can be adjusted according to different rebar diameters (Φ12-Φ40mm) and spacing requirements.
2. High Efficiency: A single machine can produce 8-12 steel cages per shift (8 hours), equivalent to the output of 15-20 skilled workers. This significantly reduces construction timelines and labor dependency.
3. Safety Compliance: Fully enclosed welding chambers with exhaust systems protect operators from welding fumes and arc light. Emergency stop buttons and safety interlocks prevent accidental operation.
4. Customization Capability: Unlike standard equipment, our engineers design machines based on specific project parameters including cage diameter (800-2500mm), length (6-18m), and rebar arrangement patterns. This ensures optimal performance for different applications.

Our product range includes two main types of steel cage forming equipment:
| Parameter | Automatic Steel Cage Rolling Machine | Intelligent Steel Cage Welding Workstation |
|---|---|---|
| Power Supply | 380V 50Hz 3-phase | Customizable (220V/380V) |
| Total Power | 45-65kW | 30-50kW |
| Processing Speed | 3-5m/min | 4-6m/min |
| Welding Method | Submerged arc welding | CO2 gas shielded welding |
| Control System | Siemens S7-1200 PLC | Mitsubishi FX3U PLC |
Both models support remote monitoring through industrial Ethernet, allowing real-time production data collection and equipment status tracking. The modular design enables easy maintenance and component replacement.
Global Application Cases
Our steel cage forming machines have been successfully deployed in over 30 countries across five continents:
- Middle East: Supplied 8 sets of Φ2000mm steel cage rolling machines for the Riyadh Metro Project in Saudi Arabia, achieving 98% uptime during 2-year continuous operation.
- Southeast Asia: Customized 12m-length steel cage welding workstations for the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Rail in Indonesia, reducing rebar waste by 15% through precise length control.
- Africa: Provided 5 complete steel cage production lines for the Addis Ababa Light Rail in Ethiopia, including operator training and 3-year onsite maintenance support.
- Europe: Exported CE-certified machines to a Polish prefabricated component factory, meeting EU safety standards and EN1090 structural requirements.
These projects demonstrate our ability to adapt equipment to different construction standards, climate conditions, and operational environments worldwide.
