CNC Gabion Machine: The Best Choice for Plastic Coated Wire Gabion

Last month, our Vietnamese customers used plastic coated wire to make 5-twist mesh with mechanical gabion, and the plastic coated wire often broke.

The key issue lies in twisting accuracy. Traditional mechanical gabion machines cannot set or control the precise length of the twisting position. Because the machine’s mesh pulling and twisting are mechanically driven by a motor and fixed gear lengths, resulting in fixed intervals, the steel wires are automatically twisted at fixed intervals during the production process. When using a five-strand twist on plastic-coated steel wire, the twist becomes too tight and dense. This excessive twisting pressure can easily cause the plastic coating (usually PVC or PE) to crack, peel, or break, damaging the corrosion-resistant layer and shortening the mesh’s service life.

However, CNC-controlled gabion machines solve this problem.

Each section of the CNC gabion machine is controlled by a separate servo motor, allowing precise adjustment of twist length and position. By setting the optimal twist distance, the machine ensures that the plastic coating remains intact even when using a five-twist pattern. This controlled process helps protect the outer layer from excessive friction and pressure during the twisting process, ensuring strength and long-term durability.

The DAPU CNC gabion machine is a leading industry leader in China. It surpasses mechanical gabion machines in both weaving speed and precision.

Advantages of CNC gabion machines:
1. This machine is equipped with four servo motors, which independently control the thread rolling, twisting, and lubrication systems. Conventional gabion machines, on the other hand, have only one motor controlling all functions, resulting in a high failure rate and two-thirds lower production than CNC gabion machines.
2. This machine is controlled by a PLC programming system and servo motors, resulting in high weaving precision. Mechanical gabion machines, with their purely mechanical structure, suffer from imprecise weaving and uneven mesh openings.
3. CNC machines can freely switch between three-twist and five-twist modes, while mechanical machines cannot.
4. CNC gabion machines have a better lubrication system than mechanical gabion machines.
