The automatic stirrup bending machine is a CNC automatic stirrup-bending device. It integrates systems like frame-type rotary straightening, digital length measuring, hydraulic cutting, and five-head stirrup bending. Controlled by computer programs, it bends round steel/coiled rib into stirrups in one go. No pay-off stand needed; feeding is the same as ordinary straighteners—ideal for sites. With PLC control, the sliding cutter avoids wear. Want to know how it improves stirrup processing efficiency? Contact us for quotes and product manuals!【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632

Why Invest in an Automatic Stirrup Bender for Your Rebar Workshop?
Below are the practical reasons workshops and construction sites choose to invest in a stirrup bender.
1. Great productivity improvement:
- One automatic stirrup machine delivers the output of 4–6 workers
- A single operator handles the full process: feeding, bending, and cutting
- Continuous production, no stops between shapes
2. Stable and consistent quality:
- Length tolerance: ±1 mm per piece
- Angle tolerance: ±1° for each bend
- No difference across shifts, dates, or operators
- Every stirrup fully matches the program settings
3. Wide rebar processing range:
- All models work with plain and deformed bars from Ø4–18 mm
- Supports single-wire and double-wire working modes
- Suitable for both cold-rolled and hot-rolled rebar
4. Flexible and various shapes:
- Up to 60 bends programmable for each shape
- Built-in library of common stirrup shapes
- Supports custom shape design and storage
- No mechanical adjustment needed for shape change
5. Compact size and movable:
- No separate pay-off stand required
- Coil rebar direct feeding — same loading method as ordinary straightening machines
- Ideal for on-site construction work
- Easy relocation when projects move
6. Low operation cost:
- Average power consumption: 5–12 kW/h (depends on model)
- No consumables for most processing steps
- PLC control system with fault diagnosis to reduce downtime
7. Labor saving:
- 1 operator replaces 4–6 manual stirrup bending workers
- Lower physical workload and risk of work injuries
- Operators only need a few hours of training, not weeks


Automatic Stirrup Bending Machine Product Features
- Precise Straightening: Composed of two sets of horizontally and vertically adjustable straightening wheels, combined with 4 traction wheels, driven by a servo motor, ensuring the straightening accuracy of steel bars and laying a solid foundation for stirrup bender processing.
- Efficient Bending & Cutting: The bending and shearing mechanisms are driven by servo motors. The bending arm can rotate and extend/retract at high speed, and the shearing mechanism completes the shearing action quickly, ensuring the bending accuracy of steel bars and demonstrating the efficient performance of the stirrup machine.
- Stable Control: Adopts a mature control system with high stability and fault identification function, reducing the risk of shutdown and making its operation more reliable.
- Flexible Production: Can design multi-shaped stirrups and contour-type graphics within 60 bending angles, with a storage graphics library, suitable for multi-variety and large-batch production, highlighting the equipment’s flexibility.
- Continuous Operation: Can continuously produce stirrup shapes without mid-process shutdown or mechanical adjustment; no need to interrupt processing when correcting bending angles, improving production smoothness.
- Labor-saving & Efficient: High production efficiency; each machine is equivalent to the workload of 4 – 6 workers, and one worker can operate it. The labor-saving advantage of the stirrup machine is remarkable.


Automatic Stirrup Bending Machine Application Scenarios

The equipment is mainly used for stirrup processing in projects such as cold and hot rolling of steel bars, construction, bridges, tunnels, and precast components. As an efficient stirrup making machine, it can improve processing efficiency, reduce labor intensity, and free up manpower, making it suitable for stirrup processing in large-scale construction projects and small-scale construction sites, contributing to project progress.
6 Factors to Consider When Selecting an Automatic Stirrup Bending Machine
Picking the right stirrup making machine depends on your specific production needs. Here are the key decision points.
Factor 1: Rebar diameter range
First screening point — what diameter rebar do you process most often?
- Light duty (Ø4–8 mm): YG-1 or YG-2 — for small stirrups in residential buildings
- Medium duty (Ø5–12 mm): YG-3 or YG-4 — covers most commercial building demands
- Heavy duty (Ø5–18 mm): YG-5-16S — for bridges, tunnels and heavy infrastructure
Notes:
- Also check single-wire and double-wire processing capacity
- Double-wire mode doubles output but reduces the maximum diameter
- If you frequently process Ø12–16 mm rebar, choose YG-5-16S
Factor 2: Single-wire vs Double-wire
- Single-wire: processes one bar at a time — for larger diameter, heavier stirrups
- Double-wire: processes two bars together — higher output for mass production of small diameters
- Most models support both modes — switch according to tasks
If your main work is mass production of small-diameter stirrups (Ø4–8 mm):
- Double-wire function can greatly increase daily output
Factor 3: Feeding and bending speed
Speed directly decides daily output:
- Feeding speed 60 m/min: YG-1, YG-2 — for small and medium workshops
- Feeding speed 110 m/min: YG-3, YG-4, YG-5 series — nearly doubled productivity
Bending speed affects the cycle time for complex shapes:
- 800°/s: YG-1, YG-2, YG-4
- 1000°/s: YG-3, YG-5 series — shorter cycle time for multi-bend stirrups
Factor 4: Power consumption
Larger machines have higher power:
- YG-1: Total power 14 kW, average 4.5 kW/h — lowest energy use
- YG-3/YG-5-14S: Total power 32 kW, average 5 kW/h — higher output with similar running cost
- YG-5-16S: Total power 52.5 kW, average 12 kW/h — maximum output and highest running cost
Check whether your on-site power supply matches before ordering.
Factor 5: Weight and mobility
If the stirrup machine needs to move between different construction sites:
- YG-1 (1,150 kg): Lightest, easiest to transport
- YG-2 (1,350 kg): Still movable between sites
- YG-3 (2,200 kg) and above: Heavier — normally installed in fixed workshops
Factor 6: Shape complexity
All YG models support:
- Up to 60 bends per shape
- Built-in shape library
- Custom shape design and storage
- No mechanical adjustment to change shapes
If you mainly make standard rectangular and square stirrups:
- Any YG model can handle it
If complex shapes are required (L bends, U bends, multi-angle stirrups):
- Higher bending speed (1000°/s) can obviously shorten the processing cycle
Quick selection summary:
| Your situation | Recommended model |
| Small workshop, light rebar ≤Ø8 mm | YG-1 |
| Growing workshop, need double-line | YG-2 |
| Medium-large projects, Ø5–12 mm | YG-3 |
| Balanced capacity and weight | YG-4 |
| Heavy rebar up to Ø14 mm | YG-5-14S |
| Maximum diameter up to Ø18 mm | YG-5-16S |
FAQ about Automatic Stirrup Bending Machine
Q1: What types of rebar can an automatic stirrup making machine process?
It can process cold-rolled and hot-rolled rebar, including plain and deformed bars. The working range varies by model — single-wire operation from Ø4 mm to Ø18 mm.
Q2: Can a stirrup making machine process custom shapes?
Yes. It supports designing and saving custom stirrup shapes, up to 60 bends per shape. The built-in program library covers common shapes (rectangle, square, L-shape, U-shape). Saved custom shapes can be recalled repeatedly.
Q3: Does the machine need to stop when switching shapes?
No. It switches shapes automatically via CNC programs, with no mechanical adjustment or manual tool change. Shape switching works seamlessly during continuous production.
Q4: What accuracy level can it reach?
- Length accuracy: ±1 mm for each stirrup
- Angle accuracy: ±1° for each bend
This accuracy stays consistent in mass production. Servo drive system and PLC control guarantee uniform quality for every piece.
Q5: Can it process two rebars at the same time?
Yes. Most YG models support double-wire processing for small-diameter rebar (Ø4–10 mm depending on models). Double-wire mode can nearly double daily output when making light stirrups.
