Expanded Mesh Welding Machine

Welding Range

Wire Diameter: Carbon steel/stainless steel wire: 0.5–6.0 mm (common range, larger sizes customizable).

Aluminum/copper wire: 0.8–4.0 mm (requires matching electrode pressure and current).

Mesh Size:Long pitch: 10–200 mm (adjustable via molds or programming).

Short pitch: 5–100 mm (depending on expansion ratio and mesh shape).

Welding Speed: 5–30 cycles/min (adjustable; high-speed models can reach >50 cycles/min).

Welding Pressure

Pneumatic cylinder or servo motor-driven, pressure range: 5–30 kN (precisely controlled via pressure regulators or servo systems).

Welding Time

0.05–1.5 seconds/cycle (adjustable via control system to match materials and wire diameters).

Some models integrate expansion and welding functions. Key parameters:

Expansion MethodMechanical tension (gear-rack drive) or hydraulic drive.

Expansion Ratio1:1.5 to 1:6 (ratio of long pitch to short pitch, e.g., short pitch 10 mm, long pitch expandable to 15–60 mm).

Sheet SpecificationsMaterial: Metal sheets (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), thickness 0.5–3.0 mm.

Sheet width: 500–600 mm (customizable).

Control System

Operation InterfaceTouchscreen (HMI) or industrial computer, supporting multi-language switching (e.g., Chinese/English).

Control ModePLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or servo system, with parameter storage (can save 50–100 sets of process parameters).

Automation FeaturesAutomatic feeding, fixed-length cutting, fault alarm (e.g., electrode wear prompt, current anomaly detection).

Optional visual inspection system for real-time quality monitoring (e.g., spot deviation, missed welding detection).

Applicable Materials

Metal Types: stainless steel (304, 316L), aluminum, copper, galvanized steel, etc.

Surface Treatments: Bare, galvanized, plastic-coated (surface must be free of oil or oxide layers for optimal welding).

Production Efficiency

Single-Machine Capacity:Welded mesh: 50–200 m²/h (depending on mesh density and welding speed).

Expanded mesh: 30–150 m²/h (including expansion and welding processes).

Optional Features

Electrode Cooling SystemCirculating water or air cooling for heat dissipation during prolonged high-load welding.

Automatic Coiling DeviceFor continuous production of rolled mesh, with tension control.

Rapid Mold Change SystemHydraulic or pneumatic fixtures to reduce changeover time (e.g., switching from 10 mm to 20 mm mesh in 10 minutes).
