Custom JIG Systems

For Precision Reinforcement Assembly

In construction, efficient and precise reinforcement assembly is crucial. SKEW specializes in tailoring JIG Systems—fixtures for accurate rebar positioning—to meet your exact project demands, enhancing efficiency, precision, and safety.

We move beyond generic solutions, analysing your specific needs: rebar geometry, production volume, material handling, and assembly methods. This allows us to design JIG Systems that are seamlessly integrated into your workflow.

We consider factors such as:

  • Geometry and Complexity: The shape, size, and intricate details of your reinforcement.
  • Production Volume: From one-off custom projects to high-volume manufacturing.
  • Variations and Configurations: The variations on the rebar cages in the production run
  • Welding and Tying Methods: Integration with your existing assembly techniques.
  • Safety and Ergonomics: Ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment for your team.
  • Future JIG integrations: Confirming the JIG can be re-used (or rebuild) for future projects

Examples of SKEW’s Customized JIG Systems for an L-shaped Mesh

SKEW’s commitment to customization means we can adapt our JIG Systems to virtually any reinforcement assembly challenge.

For a standard 6.0 x 2.4m L-shaped mesh, SKEW can offer different solutions focusing of different demands and preferences of the workers.

Here are three examples illustrating the versatility and precision we can bring to your projects:

1. Bench Setup Arrangement.

Allowing the workers to placet he bars in an ergonomic upstanding position. Ideal in combination with welding. The reinforcement cages could be welded strategically from the 4 sides.

Access to the middle is more limited. Therefore the cage can be lifted off the JIG System, to be completed.

2. Floor Setup for vertical Assembly

Access to the L-Mesh from both sizes, allowing complex inserts, spacers or couplers to be added easily.

3. Floor Setup horizontal Assembly Arrangement

Allowing bars to be dropped in while walking over the JIG. Also suitable for larger surfaces and with heavier bars.
