X-TIE: The New Frontier of Automatic Tying for Reinforced Concrete Cages
In the construction industry, assembling reinforcement cages has always been a long, exhausting, and often unsafe process.
X-TIE is the new automatic tying machine revolutionising the assembly industry.
Based on an innovative two-strand cross-tie system (patent pending), X-TIE can replace welding during cage assembly, reducing costs, health risks, and environmental impact.
Why Choose X-TIE?
• Strength and durability: the 90° cross-wire tying provides a grip comparable to welding, ensuring structurally sound cages and safer transportation.
• High processing speed: just over 1 second per tie – over 200% faster than manual tying.
• Spark-free tying: a safer and cleaner solution compared to welding in assembly processes.
• 1.6 mm wire: twice as thick as the wire used for manual tying, ensuring superior strength.
• Low tying height: under 10 mm, well below the standard 25 mm concrete cover.
• Zero waste: no wire scraps, ensuring more efficient material use.
• Standard wire: widely available, no exclusive or costly materials required.
• Versatile use: single or double cross-tie depending on application needs.
• Long-lasting coils: up to 10,000 double ties or 20,000 single ties per coil load.
Faster, safer, and more cost-effective, X-TIE is the ideal solution for those who want to work better, in less time, and with maximum safety!
Revolutionising Reinforced Cage Assembly: Efficiency and Safety with X-TIE
In the construction world, assembling rebar cages for reinforced concrete is a crucial process, but traditionally a slow, tiring operation that poses risks to workers’ health and safety.
Until now, the most common methods were manual tying, time-consuming and physically demanding, and welding, which requires protective equipment and fume extraction systems, produces harmful emissions, and raises concerns about the final product’s quality and safety.
Today, there’s a new solution revolutionising the sector: X-TIE.
X-TIE: The New Frontier of Automatic Tying
X-TIE is an automatic tying device based on innovative (patent-pending) cross-wire technology.
The system uses two wires that are positioned around the bars or stirrups, cut, and twisted together to create an exceptionally strong tie – eliminating the downsides of traditional methods.
Thanks to X-TIE, assembling reinforcement cages becomes faster, safer, and more efficient.
The advantages of X-TIE
X-TIE introduces a series of improvements that significantly optimise operations on construction sites and in precast plants:
• Strength and durability: the 90° cross-wire tying offers a hold comparable to welding, making the transport of cages safer and eliminating the risk of failure.
• High processing speed: each tying cycle takes just over 1 second, significantly speeding up production.
• Spark-free tying: a cleaner, quieter, and safer solution compared to traditional welding, ideal even for enclosed or sensitive environments.
• Use of 1.6 mm wire: double the size of the wire used in manual tying, ensuring unprecedented robustness.
• Low tying height: tying height is below 10 mm, far less than the standard 25 mm concrete cover.
• Zero waste: the system generates no wire scrap, optimising material usage.
• Standard wire available worldwide: no need for exclusive or expensive materials.
• Flexible operation: supports both single and double cross-tie configurations, depending on structural needs.
• Long-lasting coils: reduces coil change frequency compared to other systems – up to 10,000 double ties or 20,000 single ties per spool set.
Thanks to X-TIE, tying speed increases by 200%, quadrupling efficiency compared to manual tying.
This results in a significant reduction in both time and cost of cage assembly.
Compared to welding, X-TIE offers many safety advantages:
• No toxic fumes
• No need for special protective equipment
• No mandatory certifications
• No sparks generated
• Reduced risk of occupational illnesses.
X-TIE is not just a technological innovation; it’s a true game-changer for the assembly industry.
With a system that is faster, stronger, more reliable, and more cost-effective, this automatic tying machine is the ultimate solution for those looking to increase productivity without compromising safety or quality.
