Our fences are manufactured by the most advanced manufacturing facility in South Africa for Palisade Fences. All fences are fully manufactured by robotics. The production of a Steel Palisade Fence takes place in 3 steps: • Cutting of hot rolled angle iron into 2- or 3-spike pales • Cleaning of pales • Welding of pales onto cross bars.
		For cutting a robot equipped with a plasma cutter gun is used. The advantage to use robotics for cutting is: • The spikes of the pales are extremely sharp (be careful when handling our panels!) • It allows the flexibility to produce a variety of shapes: While the most pale manufacturers use a press equipped with a custom made, expensive tool to press the crowns out of the steel, here the robot is simply re-program to cut out any required shape of spikes. This is, why one can manufacture RAZOR pales and EXTRA-RAZOR pales. • The tips of the spikes are heated in the process, and are therefore extra hard. At present, capacity production reaches up to 90 km of cut-to size angles per month. With the new production line, this will increase the cut-to size angles per month to up to 280km! (Operational as from July/August 2003).
		The pales are cleaned in a big drum, to remove dirt and burs. This creates an ideal surface for long-lasting primer & paint on your palisade fences.
		Whilst one robot is busy cutting, the other robot simultaneously welds the pales onto the cross bars, to manufacture panels. The advantages for using a welding robot are: • Time (capable of doing up to 4800 units [3x2m panel] per month) • Every welding has the same quality finish (no human error) • The finished panels are square and straight, and each panel is exactly similar in measurement to the others. • The time that this process frees up leads to a substantial reduction in costs.
