SAPIENS
This issue of @Schnell focuses especially on SAPIENS, the new integrated straightening technology developed and patented by Schnell.
SAPIENS is the result of about 3 years of research by our technical staff in collaboration with Universities and independent research authorities.
SAPIENS is based on the desire to offer our customers an advanced system solving problems associated with straightening coiled wire; a solution that:
• doesn't “spoil” the material but maintains its characteristics;
• ensures excellent results even with low-quality wire;
• means these results can be easily achieved even by unskilled operators;
The result: straight bars, always properly closed stirrups and co-planar shapes - all with fast adjustment times and very low waste levels, with absolute easiness and impressive stability from both ends of the coils.
We tested SAPIENS with wire from all the main countries in the world and we have always achieved results even better than expectations.
This issue of @Schnell illustrates the outcome of long-term work that is finally available on the new range of Nextra 16, Coil 16 and Eura 16 machines.

SAPIENS is Schnell’s major innovation in the coiled wire processing field.
It is not merely a simple, mechanical innovation but an integration of mechanical, control and operator interface innovations ensuring even better straightening than with previous systems
REDUCING
> THE “WIRE ROTATION” EFFECT
> STRAIGHTENING INSTABILITY
FACILITATING
> STRAIGHTENING ADJUSTMENTS
> AND THEIR STORAGE
IT IS CALCULATED THAT
EVEN UNSKILLED OPERATORS ACHIEVE HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS (closed stirrups, straight bars and co-planar shapes) WITHOUT LOSS OF TIME (and scraps) FOR ADJUSTMENTS.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONS
The innovations embraced by the integrated SAPIENS technology include:
- Asymmetrical feeding unit
The asymmetrical feeding unit with 5 wheels (patented) adapts to the nature of coils by acting "softly" on the wire and avoiding axial rotation phenomena.
Pressure on the wire is never high since the contact surface between the wheels and the wire is much larger than in any other feed unit and consequently wire ribbings are never crushed or damaged.
The asymmetrical configuration with 5 wheels, moreover, improves wire straightening and the stability of the straightening process.
- Straightening and adjustment unit (equalizers).
The 2 straightening units are designed and tested in order to:
- ensure that the new machines are virtually “unaffected” by oval formed wire and of poor-quality in general.
- improve the "grip on the wire" at the same time as preventing residual rotation trends that otherwise cause open stirrups and non co-planar shapes.
Every straightening unit, moreover, is fitted with an exclusive “equalizer” adjustment system for simple and intuitive fine adjustments (patented).
The straightening wheels in special steel can be inverted in just a few seconds: this means that the 2 wheels’ throats can be alternated to ensure impressive durability.
- Joy-sticks
The two joy-sticks are the most evident example of the simplification achieved in the SAPIENS system.
Straightening has never been so easy and intuitive:
- joy-stick up the wire is raised
- joy-stick down the wire is lowered
- joy-stick right the wire is shifted to the right
- joy-stick left the wire is shifted to the left
Correction is possible even during work stages and is stored by the PC; accidental operation of the joy-sticks is prevented by a safety system.
- New KS 104 graphic computer
The control panel houses the new KS 104 graphic computer with 12” colour screen.
Straightening parameters are stored on 3 different levels and stored data includes both, wire diameter and the type of wire. Variations in straightening parameters made during processing operations (using the joy-sticks) are saved but do not modify the data memorised at lower levels: in this way, unskilled operators can take advantage of the experience of more expert colleagues without the risk of compromising adjustments.
- Slogan
Straight bars, closed stirrups and co-planar shapes can be produced in a truly simple manner even with low-quality steel and unskilled operators. All this thanks to SAPIENS.
MACHINES
SAPIENS is available on the new range of 16 machines: X16 Coil16 Eura 16.
Nextra16: the stirrup bender with an exceptional quality/price ratio; offers all the advantages of Sapiens Technology and digital servo-motors
Coil 16: even faster and more complete than X16; can be equipped with the automatic diameter change unit to change the coil being processed in less than one minute.
Eura 16: stirrup and rebar bending machine with automatic diameter change. The most versatile machine available today on the market: also available as a "bridge" version, with a collecting bench and mobile carriage for rebar collection.
SAPIENS is a genuine innovation that has passed the strictest tests; we are so sure that we can satisfy the expectations of our customers that we invite you to personally verify the exceptional performances of our new machines. Send us an e-mail message to marketing@schnell.it and you can book your “test drive” at our new head offices in Montemaggiore al Metauro. See it and believe it!! more... stirrup bender |

FORMULA SAPIENS 14
In the last years, coil processing has reached a high level of automation and precision thanks to the introduction of the new “Sapiens” straightening system. First, it was applied only to the most powerful machines of the “series 16” but actually, the “Sapiens” system allows better straightening in an easy and stable way.
This state-of-the-art straightening system applied also to smaller stirrup benders gives Schnell the opportunity to produce a top-performance machine also for small and medium diameters. “Formula Sapiens 14”, is, in fact, a bidirectional automatic stirrup bender to produce s more... stirrup bender |

BAR FAB
BAR FAB was founded in Clearwater (Florida) in 1982 with the aim of marketing wire for reinforced concrete.
In 1985 Mr. Bobby Growe decided to invest by opening his own rebar shop which had to be efficient and flexible .
The decision turned out to be perfect, so much so that the company has shown a steady growth over the years going from 300 to the current 1300 T/month.
The cooperation with Schnell started with the purchase of the "PRIMA" stirrup bender.
"PRIMA", observed Mr. Growe, "proved to be an excellent machine: fast, reliable and easy to use."
The satisfaction with the work carri more... stirrup bender |

| Spirex SPIREX is an innovative machine proposed by Schnell, able to realize a continuous clamping of both beams and pillars of concrete.
SPIREX is a particular continuous stirrup, whose vertical arms are always vertical to the main reinforcement, while the horizontal arms diverge, determining the pitch (also variable) among the different stirrups.
The continuous stirrup SPIREX eliminates more... stirrup bender |

| Multi Assembler Shaped bars assembling plant producing structural meshes, meshes on request, baffles, wall septum, elements for plinths. Allows the production of flat wire mesh as well as meshes with profiled rods on one or both sides.
Multi Assembler is fully modular and characterised by very short setup times for both diameter and format changes of the mesh produced. These characteristics guarantee high flexibility and make the plant particularly suitable for the production of small and very small batches of more... stirrup bender |

| GTM telescope Machine for the production of round cages with welded spirals and pre-set pitch.
The machine is characterized by a reduced longitudinal length.
The welding process is performed by a mobile unit and the bar loading zone is a telescope, for this reason, during the welding operation, the length decreases while the welding head moves forward.
It is equipped with payoff, dial for the longitudinal bars, hydraulic cage supports, 1 fixed and 1 mobile bored plates, electronic console to control plate more... stirrup bender |
