Objective
The pre cast concrete industry is in continuous expansion not only in Europe but also in North America, and now represents about 20% of the construction industry; the reasons for this continuous expansion can be attribute to the search for construction methods which allow: - a reduction of material and of execution costs - better quality control. The final objective of the intended project (Exploratory Award approved on September 1997 with final evaluation for funding = A) is to build a pre commercial prototype of an innovative automatic machine capable of manufacturing metal meshes already equipped with all the required gaps and holes, and with wires of different section in different critical points. Prime proposer is Ernst Koch GmbH&Co (DE), a supplier of plant for steel structure production. The prototype will consist of the following three sub systems: - Straightening and cutting system - Rod transportation and positioning system - Welding system Beta System, an Italian firm specialised in the field of metal structures production system, will be the R&D performer responsable for technical development of the project; Beta will be in charge of analysing and realising the whole plant sub systems, including automation and test phase. University of Rome DMA will be the R&D performer in charge of designe the mechanical components of the plant on the basis of design studies carried out by Beta System. Aitemin, a Spanish firm specialised in the development, implementation and operation of control systems, will be the R&D performer in charge of developing the software module for operatorlsystem interface; this interface must be user friendly and suitable for use with a PC.
