MANUFACTURE
PROCESS OF STEEL PALISADE FENCES |
 We
operate the most advanced manufacturing facility in South
Africa for Palisade Fences. Our fences are fully manufactured
by robotics.
The
production of a Steel Palisade Fence takes place in 3 steps:
1. Cutting
of hot rolled angle iron lengths into 2- or 3-spike Pales
2. Cleaning
of Pales
3. Welding
of pales onto cross bars |
1.
CUTTING
For
cutting a robot equipped with a plasma cutter gun is
used.
The
advantage to use robotics for cutting is:
a.)
The spikes of the pales are extremely sharp (be careful when
handling our panels!)
b.)
It allows the flexibility to manufacture a variety of shapes:
While
the most pale manufacturers use a press equipped with a custom
made, expensive tool to press the crowns out of the steel, here
the robot is simply re-programmed to cut out any required shape
of spikes. This is, why we can manufacture RAZOR
pales. & EXTRA-RAZOR
pales.
c.)
The tips of the spikes heated in the process, and are therefor
extra hard.
At
present capacity production reaches up to 90 km of cut to
size angles per month. With our new production line, we will
increase our cut to size angles per month up to 280 km! |
2.
CLEANING
The
pales are cleaned in a big drum, to remove dirt and burs. This
creates an ideal surface for long lasting primer & paint
on your palisade fences. |
3.
WELDING:
Whilst
the one robot is busy cutting, the other robot simultaneously
welds the pales onto the cross bars, to manufacture panels.
The
advantages for using a welding robot is:
a.)
Time (capable of doing up to 4800 units [3x2m panel] per month)
b.)
Every welding has the same finish (no human mistakes)
c.)
The finished panels are square and straight, and each panel
is exactly similar in measurement to the others.
