CNC Horizontal Gabion Making Machine
Servo-Driven, PLC-Automated Gabion Mesh Production — Fast Twist Switching, Quiet Operation
The CNC horizontal gabion making machine upgrades traditional mechanical horizontal platforms with servo motor control and PLC automation, delivering higher precision and more consistent output across production runs.
It switches between twist types (e.g., 3-wire or 5-wire configurations) via touchscreen. Operating noise stays under 75 dB, well below typical mechanical-drive levels.
Compared to heavy-duty vertical gabion machines, this configuration offers a smaller footprint and lower capital investment, built for manufacturers who prioritize efficiency and advanced automation in their production line.
CNC Horizontal Gabion Making Machine Specifications
All parameters below can be configured to your project requirements at the time of order — including wire diameter, mesh aperture, weaving width, and control system components. Once manufacturing begins, mesh aperture size is fixed and cannot be altered mid-production; if your contract requires multiple aperture sizes, specify each configuration separately when ordering.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wire Diameter Range | 1.0–3.5 mm |
| Mesh Size | 60×80 mm, 80×100 mm, 100×120 mm, or custom on request |
| Weaving Width | Max. 4,300 mm (custom widths available) |
| Twisted Number | 3-wire or 5-wire (adjustable via touchscreen) |
| Operating Speed | Max. 45 mesh/min (adjustable via touchscreen) |
| Motor | Servo motor: 11kW + 7.5kW + 7.5kW |
| Voltage | Configurable to your local requirements |
| Dimension | 5.3 × 2.1 × 1.4 m |
| Weight | 5.0 T |
Footprint & Floor Layout
Even at its largest configuration — 5.3 × 2.1 × 1.4 m and 5.0 T — the CNC horizontal gabion making machine occupies roughly 30% less floor space than an equivalent heavy-duty vertical configuration. Smaller weaving-width models require an even smaller footprint. No foundation rework, no structural reinforcement, and no need to reconfigure your current line layout.
This makes it a practical upgrade path for manufacturers looking to add CNC capability without relocating equipment or expanding facility footprint.

Why Choose the CNC Horizontal Gabion Making Machine
Independent Servo Zones Reduce Failure Risk
Traditional mechanical gabion machines rely on a single motor and gear train — one point of failure that halts the entire line. This model drives each function zone with its own servo motor under independent PLC control, so a fault in one zone doesn’t take down the others. Less unplanned downtime, more predictable maintenance planning.
Automation Upgrade Without a Facility Overhaul
Buyers comparing automation tiers usually assume the jump from standard full-automatic to CNC-level control means a vertical-weave line — and the footprint, foundation work, and capital outlay that come with it. This model delivers that automation tier on a horizontal platform that installs into your existing hall without civil works.
One Machine, Multiple Twist Configurations
Twist type is the parameter that changes most often between contracts, and it’s the one this machine adjusts without any mechanical work — a single touchscreen input switches twist configuration, with no dedicated line and no disassembly. Mesh aperture size is fixed at the time of manufacture and specified when you place your order, so plan aperture requirements upfront while twist type stays adjustable on the floor.
Downtime Measured in Minutes, Not Shifts
When a fault means waiting for a specialist to arrive on-site, idle line time is measured in shifts. Diagnostic codes on the PLC touchscreen let operators identify and resolve most issues directly — turning that wait into minutes.
Noise Is No Longer a Site Constraint
Noise limits have ruled out certain equipment for sites near residential zones or shared industrial parks. Operating below 75 dB under full production load removes that constraint entirely — no acoustic enclosures, no site-specific mitigation required.
Packaging & Export Preparation
PLC control panels and servo drive components receive additional protective packaging — anti-static wrapping and shock-absorbing foam inserts — to protect electrical components during sea freight and multimodal transport. The machine frame and mechanical assemblies are secured in steel-frame crating rated for ocean freight handling.
