PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS160 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 6 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comFaster than manual tying, safer than welding: X-TIE takes cage assembly to a new level. With its patented two-wire crossed-tying system, it delivers unmatched strength, productivity, and safety. The future of precast reinforcement is already here.X-TIE: Innovation in automatic reinforcement cage tyingIn the precast industry, the assembly of reinforcement cages is a critical phase that directly impacts quality, safety, and production time. Every technological choice at this stage has a direct impact on the entire value chain, from job site efficiency to the company%u2019s competitiveness on the market.Until now, the most common methods have been manual tying, slow and physically demanding for operators or welding, which requires protective equipment, generates harmful fumes, and involves risks for both health and the environment.Today, a new technology is changing the rules of the game: X-TIE, the automatic rebar tying system, featuring a patented 90%u00b0 two-wire crossed-tying system process that combines speed, strength, and sustainability.How the X-TIE system worksAt the core of the innovation is the 90%u00b0 two-wire crossed tie (patent pending).The device automatically wraps the bars or stirrups, cuts the wires, and twists them together, producing a compact and robust joint. The result is a tie that ensures the same holding strength as welding, without sparks and without requiring special certifications.Faster, safer, stronger Schnell S.p.a., 61036 Colli al Metauro (PU), ItalyX-TIEThe X-TIE in actionTied reinforcement cage
