In the world of reinforced concrete construction, rebar is the "backbone" of the structure. The faster, neater, and more accurate the rebar is cut, the faster the project is completed, the more cost-effective it is, and the higher the level of worker safety.
Bar Cutting is one of the machines that functions for the process of cutting metal rods. Usually reinforcing steel or reinforcing barrebar, known as rebar as per the construction design requirements. This process is an important part of material preparation for construction projects. Especially in reinforced concrete structures such as buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. Cutting is done with precision to ensure that the steel bars have dimensions that match the technical specifications.
1) Material & Materials: Some materials cannot be cut easily using thermal techniques. For example, oxy-gas cutting of stainless steel or gray cast iron) or may produce toxic fumes (e.g., plastics).
2) Thickness: The thicker the material, the harder it is to produce high-quality and fast cuts.
3) Type/shape of cut: If a shaped cut is required (such as in weld preparation), this can severely limit the available cutting techniques. For example, no thermal cutting process is capable of producing a preparation.
4) Required quality: Mechanical techniques are usually used when the surface quality of the cut must be very high. With thermal cutting techniques, the cut quality varies depending on factors such as thickness, speed, and process.
5) Cutting speed and quantity required: This factor influences the amount of cost. Process selection, and the degree of automation used in the cutting operation.
