The challenge
Stirrup shapes change constantly between jobs, and manual setting meant long changeovers and inconsistent dimensions. Bending high-tensile bar also demands precise torque control to hit angles repeatably as material properties vary.
How we approached it
PLC and HMI control with stored shape programs, so a changeover is a recipe selection rather than a re-setup
Servo-controlled feed length with encoder feedback for repeatable cut dimensions
High-torque drive control tuned for springback compensation on varying bar grades
Operator interface designed for shop-floor use rather than engineering use
The outcome
Changeover between stirrup shapes drops from a manual setup to a recipe selection
Dimensional consistency holds across batches and operators
Programmed batch counts remove manual tallying
