How SLS12 MACHINE increased productivity and profits. A real-life case study:

When it comes to modernizing rebar production, reinforcement yards owners often wonder whether it is worth investing in new equipment. 

The figures seem considerable, but in the long run, the investment pays for itself many times over.


One of our customers (a construction company from Eastern Europe) decided to put this into practice.

The result was impressive.


What happened:

The company manufactured reinforcement clamps manually every day using outdated bending machines. Productivity was around 600–700 pieces per day, with four operators working on the line. 

There was a lot of waste, a high percentage of rejects, and constant delays in delivery times, which led to conflicts with customers. 


What changed after installing the Gocmaksan SLS12

- Productivity increased to 1,300–1,500 clamps per shift
Automatic bar feeding and a dual bending system made it possible to almost double production without increasing staff.

- The number of defects decreased by 96%. Precise positioning and programmable bending angles minimized the human factor.

- Labor costs were reduced. Instead of four operators, one person now controls the entire process. The freed-up employees were transferred to other areas.

- Savings on raw materials
The machine allows working with coils and optimizes cutting, which has reduced reinforcement consumption by 10-15% per month.


Financial results for the first 9 months:

- Net profit increased by 27%

- Return on investment in equipment — in just 7 months

- Expansion of the production portfolio (2 new large orders received).


Why SLS12?

The SLS12 machine is:

- Processing of reinforcement bars from coils with a diameter of 6–12 mm (single) and 6–10 mm (double) 

- Feed speed: up to 120 m/min, 11 kW servo motor; angular bending speed up to 1250°/s

- Part length and geometry are controlled with an accuracy of ±1 mm and ±1°, respectively 

- Power supply: 380 V, three-phase, with 50/60 Hz option; 15" touchscreen HMI panel 

- Productivity: according to data, up to 1900–2500 calipers per hour

- Energy consumption: approximately 5 kW·hour

- High automation, integration into IT production systems, and reduced labor costs.
