Manual tying of steel rebars is one of the most difficult and painstaking process in construction. Hunched over the rebars, workers are prone to many injuries, not to mention the amount of time that goes into the tying. An indispensable and crucial part of construction, rebar tying reinforces columns and concrete structures. 

Rebar tying machines help to greatly improve the productivity and across construction domain, while affording greater worker security.  There are really no shortcuts to the tying process and it is important that the rebars are fastened together at the right angles. 

The Internal Workings

The battery operated automatic machine grips the cross reinforcing bars together, feeds the tie wire, winds it around the bars, cuts and ties the knot, all in one single second. The result is a strong single strand, double wrap tie.

The lithium ion battery in the tool helps generate over 2000 ties in one charge. This machine can be used in work environments that are demanding and are very easy to maintain.  Maintenance requires dusting of the metal dust generated by the machine to ensure smooth and nonstop functioning. These rugged machines help save 30% of the time required to complete similar jobs manually.

Manifold Advantages of Rebar Tying Machines

Automatic rebar tying machines can be used in various applications, with the ability to function smoothly in locations without electricity.  Works are known to develop a condition commonly known as carpel tunnel syndrome conditions. The light weight design of these machines make it easy to use with one hand while positioning of the bars can be done with the other hand. This helps save time to trigger the machine and tie a knot in under two secs. The speed of the machine and the firm knot that the machine ties makes it a great asset. The machine cuts close to the completed knot. This helps in preventing wastage of wires.

Choosing the Right Machine To Meet Requirements

Care should be taken in purchasing a high quality rebar tying machine. The salient features and cost of the product needs to be verified prior to investing in the high quality product.  The maximum diameter of the rebars need to be considered prior to purchase. More number of wraps per tie will help to create a strong knot. And it is important to be able to quickly charge the equipment for faster deployment in remote locations. A compact and power rebar tying machine that charges quickly, offers greater number of wraps, high speed ties and large number of ties on a single charge are the ideal parameters for selecting a rebar tying machine.

The need of the moment in infrastructure sector is to cut down on time taken to complete projects and provide high quality. Rebar tying machines are the perfect equipment to meet the requirements of fast paced construction.
