Project information
Location:
Austria
Customer product:
Prestressed concrete beams (variable top flange profiles)
Project description
For a precast producer in Austria, RATEC developed a magnetic formwork solution to enable the flexible production of varying top flange geometries within an existing prestressed beam casting setup.
The solution utilises special adjustable end stops based on the Modular Siderail System (MSR), equipped with integrated magnets delivering approximately 4,600 lbs of holding force. In combination with interchangeable timber box-outs, the required flange geometry can be defined with high precision.
This approach allows producers to achieve high product variability with minimal changeover time. Existing casting beds remain in use, while setup time and material consumption are significantly reduced.
The customer benefits from increased operational flexibility and optimised production efficiency.
Key advantages:
- High flexibility for producing varying top flange geometries
- Reduced changeover time and associated costs
- Fast and secure positioning of formwork components
- Continued use of existing casting beds
