SLP: The Heavy-Duty Pile Cage Machine
Automated pile cage production
The SLP platform automates the production of welded reinforcement cages for foundation piles through a controlled spiral welding process.
Designed for piling contractors, reinforcement cage manufacturers, and foundation specialists, the system combines automated welding, repeatable cage geometry, and continuous production capability within a single platform.
Built for Heavy-Duty Industrial Operation
Production performance depends on mechanical stability.
For this reason, the SLP platform is built around a heavy-duty structural frame engineered for continuous industrial operation.
High loads, long production shifts, and demanding production schedules can be managed while maintaining cage geometry and welding consistency.
Stable Welding Quality and Maximum Repeatability
Consistent welding quality is achieved through automated process control rather than operator experience.
Welding parameters remain controlled throughout production, ensuring repeatable cage geometry, stable spiral pitch, and uniform weld quality from the first cage to the last.
Modular Design for Factory and On-Site Installation
Different projects require different production strategies.
Consequently, the SLP range is available in multiple configurations supporting cage diameters from 150 mm to 3000 mm and cage lengths up to 24 m.
The modular machine architecture allows installation both inside production facilities and directly on construction sites, reducing transportation requirements while maintaining production quality.
Its modular structure allows installation both inside production facilities and directly on-site.
This reduces transportation costs while maintaining high production quality and machine reliability.

Simplified Setup, Engineered for Accuracy
Changing cage formats should not slow down production.
That’s why we developed an exclusive positioning system: a disc with reference scale that allows fast, error-free bush placement.
The PLC guides the operator step by step, while optional reinforced roller conveyors safely manage bars up to Ø40 mm, reducing operator effort and risk.
The combination of smart mechanics and simplified software ensures faster setups, higher productivity, and maximum repeatability.
Heavy-Duty Structure
SLP machines are built with substantially reinforced steel structures designed for continuous heavy-duty production.
- Massive machine frame for maximum stability
- Reinforced lifting systems for cages exceeding 34 tons
- Direct drive technology on master and slave heads
- Dual rack-and-pinion carriage system for precise bar traction
- High-torque brushless motors for maximum efficiency and reliability
The result is a pile cage machine designed to handle extreme diameters, heavy cages and demanding industrial production conditions.
Repeatable Welding Quality
The SLP is a quality-oriented machine:
- MIG welding with constant welding time, regardless of rotation speed.
- This ensures uniform, repeatable, and consistent welds across the entire cage.
- The dual-torch system reduces cycle times while preserving weld quality.
- All welding parameters are managed directly through an advanced PLC, providing precise and clear control.
Designed to Minimize Downtime
Continuous production requires fast maintenance and easy access to critical components.
The SLP platform combines mechanical simplicity with standardized components to reduce downtime and simplify servicing.
Shared spare parts across multiple machine models help reduce inventory requirements and maintenance costs.
