Once the girders have been produced, they can be automatically positioned on the production line by means of a set of robotised pliers. Up to now, pre-cast companies had to cut tomeasure ready-made girders, producing as a consequence a great amount of scrap and facing quite high costs. Furthermore they had to keep large stocks of the whole variety of girder types at their disposal, ready to be used according to their needs. to cut girders have been used for years, the traditional method appears now obsolete compared to the new ‘Girderflex 350’, which eliminates stocking and scrap costs and reduces the labour requirement. Although semi-automatic systems

Traditionally known as a dynamic and innovative company, AWM will be presenting its revolutionary automatic plant for the production of electro-welded lattice girders, the ‘Girderflex 350’. AWM has been developing lattice girder technology for years, but the main point of this brand new model is the possibility to automatically change the diameter of longitudinal wires and diagonals, as well as the lattice girder height. The whole process takes only few seconds and does not require any manual adjustment, thanks to a totally automated system. The main destination of this plant is the pre- cast industry, which typically needs different types of girders in a quick sequence.
