Planning automated rebar processing: safety and output
Assess the worksite, material flow, operator requirements and production conditions when considering automation.
Equipment selection should include site safety procedures, operator training, guarding and production requirements.
Questions to assess
- Material handling and operator position.
- Guards and access zones.
- Stopping devices and inspection procedures.
- Feeding and repetitive work arrangements.
Verify output
Production depends on the material, diameter, shape, feeding and duty cycle. Request a representative trial instead of relying on an isolated maximum output figure.
