PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS182 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 5 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comIn recent years, the industrial prefabrication of concrete components has developed into a highly automated and precisely timed process. The focus is not only on speed and efficiency but also on consistently high quality and repeatability %u2013 especially when integrating embedded technical parts such as boxes and sockets, housings, or installation pipes for electrical installations.These components must be embedded into wall and slab elements exactly according to plan to ensure smooth progress on the construction site. In precast element production on steel formwork tables, which are standard in modern precast plants, the quick and secure fixation of these embedded parts plays a central role. The System Magnet from Kaiser was specially developed for this application. It ensures that electrical installation components are fixated precisely in their intended position - without the need for complex mechanical fastenings or time-consuming alignment.Thanks to its high holding force and the ability for automated positioning via CAD/CAM-controlled multifunctional grippers, the System Magnet can seamlessly be integrated into existing manufacturing processes. The precise pre-installation not only reduces throughput times in factory production but also minimizes installation efforts on the construction site. Planning data can be transferred directly from the digital model into production, creating a continuous and process-secure workflow.In this way, the System Magnet makes an important contribution to the economical and quality-assured execution of modern construction projects %u2013 from the initial design to the completed installation in the building.System Magnets for automated precast concrete productionKaiser GmbH & Co. KG, 58579 Schalksm%u00fchle, GermanyModern industrial prefabrication of concrete members is highly automated and precisely timed, with a focus not only on efficiency but especially on consistently high quality in the integration of embedded technical components. Kaiser%u2019s innovative concrete construction program B%u00b2 offers the unique ability to automatically place electrical junction boxes in factory production. The magnet remains on the formwork table after stripping and can then be returned to production.
