Precast Concrete Pipe Cage Mesh Welding Machine
The HW-AM1450C is a 1450mm cage mesh welding machine for precast concrete pipe
and box culvert reinforcement built for American precast plants
producing storm drain, culvert and sewer pipe reinforcement cages.
It combines a rigid stress-relieved frame, a 150 kVA medium
frequency DC welding transformer and a PLC touchscreen HMI, so a
single operator can hold consistent nugget strength across a full
shift.
Why Buyers in the Americas Choose This Model
- Programmable arc length lets one machine produce cages for a full
range of pipe diameters.
- Cage circumference accuracy held tight so the cage drops into the
form without trimming.
- Handles both plain and galvanized wire with a single electrode set.
- Weld monitoring output supports precast plant quality
documentation.
- Compact module design keeps freight cost low for American buyers.
Built-In Customization Capability
- Cage diameter, wire pitch and cage length built from your pipe
schedule.
- Optional cage roller and collapsible mandrel set for each diameter
family.
- Custom bailing wire and lifting hook insertion fixture.
- Machine can be paired with an automatic cage roller table.

Custom Order Workflow
- Send us your mesh drawing, panel size, wire diameter and target
output per shift.
- Our engineers return a tooling layout, cycle-time estimate and a
fixed quotation within 48 hours.
- Confirm the layout, then we machine the electrodes, fixtures and
wire feeding rails for your mesh only.
- Pre-acceptance video test with your wire sample, then seaworthy
packing and container loading plan.
Delivery, Compliance and Service
Machines are wired to the destination grid on request: 480V/60Hz
three phase for the United States and Canada, 440V/60Hz for Chile
and Peru, 220V/60Hz single or three phase for Mexico, Colombia and
Brazil. Control cabinets ship with English and Spanish HMI screens,
a full electrical schematic and a spare-electrode kit.
Certification documents for CE, CCC and ISO 9001:2015 are supplied
with the shipping documents, and 24-hour remote technical support
is available in English and Spanish.
