Editorial<br />

This issue of progress <strong>Report</strong> is devoted<br />

entirely to innovations and further<br />

developments, on which we have been<br />

working during the last few weeks and<br />

months.<br />

Again, and again suggestions and special<br />

requests from our customers spur us on to<br />

improve established products and to develop<br />

new ones. This guarantees customer<br />

satisfaction and is also the impetus for further<br />

technical development.<br />

We are therefore delighted to introduce<br />

you in the following pages to interesting<br />

further and new developments. The high<br />

performance Twin MSR plant and the MSR<br />

25 offer winning individual solutions. We also<br />

present the multi-function Pluristar with its<br />

innovative, integral bending system, the<br />

innovative Infinity Line ® shuttering system<br />

and the Smart BGM for the final processing<br />

of mesh.<br />

Your progress team<br />

Our credo<br />

Custom-made solutions – innovative and efficient<br />

Individualised plant and machines to meet your needs<br />

As always, our highest priority is satisfying<br />

the needs of customers. Every single item<br />

of plant and machinery is calibrated to specific<br />

production requirements.<br />

The best proof of the constant symbiosis<br />

between innovation and individualisation is<br />

the MSR range of straightening, cutting and<br />

bending machines.<br />

Twice as good<br />

We have developed the high performance<br />

Twin MSR even further, which makes it<br />

possible to process wire diameters across<br />

two lines, functioning independently of each<br />

other. This is in many respects trend-setting:<br />

It allows not only the straightening, cutting and<br />

bending of wires up to a diameter of 20 mm,<br />

it also offers unbeatable variability. Because of<br />

its modular construction, the Twin MSR can be<br />

installed with flexibility and calibrated to each<br />

production hall. It can also be combined with<br />

various straightening, collection and logistics<br />

systems, which speeds up and simplifies the<br />

production flow even further.<br />

Even bigger and better<br />

With the new MSR 25, wires with a diameter<br />

of up to 25 mm can be processed. It is also<br />

the first time coils weighing more than 5 t can<br />

be processed. The flying shear, a new system<br />

for feeding the wire, sturdy bending heads and<br />

the established progress rotor straightening<br />

system ensure the rapid, precise, protective<br />

processing for which we are appreciated.<br />

All this opens up a new dimension in rebar<br />

processing.<br />

We can provide individual solutions, thanks to a<br />

huge variety of run-offs, with which all our plant<br />

can be fitted. We offer fixed length or double<br />

bending run-offs in various designs – the right<br />

run-off optimises your production flow.<br />

Twin MSR: twice as good<br />

The flying shear makes for<br />

rapid, accurate processing<br />

The established rotor straightening<br />

system contributes to consistent quality<br />

Automatic stirrup-bender, straightener and 3-D double bending machine<br />

Four in one<br />

Pluristar innovation: 3-D bending system – a complete solution for perfection<br />

A new 3-D bending system allows production of three-dimensional stirrups<br />

Pluristar offers a huge plus in addition to its distinction as an<br />

automatic stirrup-bender, straightener and double bending<br />

machine: it has a new 3-D bending system. This four-in-one<br />

design moves the Pluristar to represent a complete solution.<br />

As well as producing stirrups and bars with substantial<br />

bending, it is now possible to produce three-dimensional<br />

stirrups in any shape imaginable.<br />

The manufacturing process itself is very flexible, thanks to<br />

a straightening system comprising a roller straightening unit<br />

and a rotor straightening unit. Furthermore, the system is fully<br />

automated and thus guarantees accurate, rapid production.<br />

Pluristar works in the wire diameter range of 6 to 16 mm. The<br />

wire is changed fully automatically or manually, as required.<br />

The straightening system, comprising a roller straightening unit and a rotor straightening unit, is unique<br />

Stirrups and bars in all shapes can<br />

be produced with the Pluristar<br />

Fully automated, accurate, fast and flexible, the Pluristar is an out and out winner<br />

Innovative moulding system<br />

Efficiency in every respect<br />

Infinity Line ® : highest quality, cost-saving and fast –<br />

An intelligent technical system, totally in tune with „Industry 4.0“<br />

The key words, innovation and efficiency,<br />

best describe the Infinity Line ® moulding<br />

system, developed and patented by the<br />

PROGRESS GROUP.<br />

This system makes it possible to shutter<br />

prefabricated concrete parts without gaps<br />

and without using polystyrene extensions. An<br />

ingenious combination system reduces the<br />

number of emplacement units to a minimum.<br />

This innovative shuttering system ensures not<br />

only a considerable saving in work, time and<br />

material, but also scores with an end product of<br />

exceptional quality: precast concrete sections<br />

with flawless outer edges.<br />

Furthermore, the use of Infinity Line ® also<br />

benefits the environment. According to<br />

PROGRESS GROUP calculations, by<br />

conserving grey energy, CO 2<br />

emissions can be<br />

reduced by 14 t per annum.<br />

Infinity Line ® is a system of the future, which<br />

satisfies all the requirements of „Industry 4.0“<br />

high-tech strategy and significantly simplifies<br />

and reduces the cost of the shuttering process.<br />

Perfect outer edges thanks to Infinity Line ®<br />

The shuttering robot positions the<br />

emplacement units fully automatically<br />

Processing of mesh<br />

Smart bending of standard mesh<br />

Smart BGM: innovative, flexible, versatile<br />

progress Maschinen & Automation have<br />

recently introduced a newly developed<br />

machine to provide an innovative solution<br />

for bending standard mesh and stacking the<br />

finished products: the Smart BGM.<br />

Its sturdy steel structure consists of two<br />

bending machines, which run independently<br />

of each other and which allow fully automatic<br />

bending of mesh. A variety of shapes<br />

and bending angles are possible: square,<br />

rectangular and triangular shapes and open<br />

shapes with 90° to 135° angles can be<br />

manufactured.<br />

Depending on the mesh it is possible to<br />

produce cages in a variety of sizes and with<br />

different wire diameters. If required, the number<br />

of cages to be stacked can also be determined.<br />

The Smart BGM is therefore perfectly suited for<br />

fully automatic serial manufacturing of cages to<br />

be put on storage.<br />

A huge variety of shapes and bending angles<br />

can be produced with the Smart BGM<br />

Two bending machines, operating independently of<br />

each other, allow mesh to be bent fully automatically<br />

Another plus point for the Smart BGM is<br />

the fully automated production process<br />
