Production of precast concrete

Precast concrete is produced on steel pallets (approx. 13m x 3,5m). The production is done by a circulating system. Each precast concrete part is produced individually (lot size 1).

The walls and element slabs are designed on a CAD system. These data are read by the host computer UniCAM NT and transformed into machine data. The host computer controls the complete system.
IT Configuration of a Precast Factory


The sheating consists of steel profiles, which bond on the steel pallet by means of strong magnets. The sheating is set by a sheating robot. The data for the positioning of the sheating is done by the host computer.

The reinforcement is placed either manually or by means of an insert robot. Electrical boxes, empty pipes etc, are placed manually.

The concrete is set by means of an automatic concrete spreader. This is how the concrete is distributed in the right quantity on the right place. The concrete spreader gets his data from the host computer UniCAM NT.

A hardened concrete shell is turned into a just concreted shell and a double wall is created.


Now the formwork is dismantled and the elements are lifted off and transported to the site.
