How does a rebar upsetting machine improve the quality and strength of rebar connections? In construction projects, the quality of rebar connections directly determines the structural safety and durability. A rebar upsetting machine enlarges the diameter of the rebar end by 3–5 mm through hydraulic cold forging, increasing the load-bearing area of the connection section. After upsetting, the rebar is processed with a threading machine and used with a straight-thread coupler. This method not only ensures the tensile strength of the joint exceeds that of the base material but also avoids damage to the rebar’s properties caused by heat processing. Compared to welding or lap splicing, mechanical upsetting connections are faster, more stable in quality, and more environmentally friendly. Contact us！【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632
Structure and Working Principle of a Rebar Upsetting Machine
A rebar upsetting machine consists of a frame, clamping tongs, guide rails, sliding plate, cycloidal gear reducer, rib stripping and rolling head, feeding mechanism, automatic opening and closing mechanism, stroke limit system, cooling system, and an electric control box. During operation, the hydraulic system pushes the rebar end into the mold for cold forging to enlarge the diameter, followed by threading to ensure accurate dimensions and consistent quality.
Why Large-Scale Projects Must Use a Rebar Cold Forging Machine
No welding heat effect, preserving the original rebar properties.
Excellent seismic performance, with uniform force distribution at joints.
Lower worker skill requirements, with a short training cycle.
Environmentally friendly and energy-saving, with no welding fumes and low energy consumption.
High-rise buildings and seismic-resistant structures
Bridges and overpasses with high-strength requirements
Subways and tunnels with limited construction space
High-speed railways and highway infrastructure
