Résumé:
The primary objective of our research is to conduct a study and preliminary design of a stirrup
machine capable of shaping different types of stirrups using an 8mm rebar. The process of
shaping stirrups involves various mechanisms, including feeding, bending, and cutting the
rebar. Each mechanism requires precision and careful consideration to ensure synchronization
with each other. Therefore, it was essential to connect all these mechanisms with an automated
controller and use stepper motors for that purpose. Additionally, in order to develop a clear
understanding of the machine, we used software programs such as SolidWorks for the
designing, WinProladder for writing ladder code and EasyBuilder Pro for designing and
programming HMI (Human Machine Interface) screens
