With our mesh welding plants you have the option of welding tailor-made bespoke mesh from coil. The mesh welding plants' strengths lie in their versatility and in the infinite number of possibilities for adapting them to the needs of the individual customer.

Machine features:

  • Production of tailor-made mesh
  • Increased cost-effectiveness and reduced staffing requirements
  • No clippings
  • Design flexibility for the plant
  • Compact, requires little space
  • Manageable maintenance costs
  • Ease of operation and good EDP networking
  • Upgrade of other components available at any time

To maximise productivity, we have developed the perfect software package for mesh welding plants.

The BGM bending machine is designed for the fully automatic bending of individual bespoke mesh. The machine can be equipped with a beam or individual bending device. In combination with the gridless production of mesh, the beam bending system allows the totally accurate production of cages with iron in the corners of the cage. Fully automatic bending of individual rebar is also possible for window and door slots. Entire plant concepts and flexible transport and logistics systems complete this solution.

 

The ideal software package for mesh welding plants

Achieve an optimized model-based workflow with Model2Fabrication, an Autodesk Revit plug-in that streamlines the design phase. By converting data for automation and production, the software ensures a smooth and error-free process. During the planning phase, erpbos® provides an array of benefits, including transparent element status, and material overviews, as well as optimized capacity, production, and logistics planning based on real-time information. This helps keep costs and time under control. Lastly, during production, the MES-System profit  for rebar processing oversees and governs all production processes and machines to ensure flawless and optimal results.

Bespoke Mesh

Overview of welded reinforcement meshes and 3D-formed lattice girders for precast concrete production 3D-bent welded reinforcement mesh with channel profile for precast concrete elements Welded reinforcement mesh with bent stirrups and central opening for reinforced concrete Custom-made reinforcement mesh with cutouts for precast concrete wall elements 3D reinforcement cage with stirrups for prefabricated concrete beams and columns Standard reinforcement mesh of welded wire for concrete construction applications Custom-made flat reinforcement mesh with variable wire spacing for precast concrete elements

Bespoke mesh is used ad structural reinforcement in the concrete element. For example, bespoke mesh is used in two-dimensional precast concrete elements, such as wall and ceiling elements. A distinction is made between predominantly load-bearing vs non load-bearing applications in welded mesh. 

Bent bespoke mesh and cages are manufactured from mesh, which is bent after production of the mesh. The mesh is either welded together or intertwined (fastened). It is used, for instance, for pillars, columns, girders, pipe installation and for connections between walls.

How do the different mesh welding systems differ?

Progress Maschinen & Automation offers mesh welding systems that differ in size, level of automation, and conveying technology. They also vary in production speed and integration of bending systems to ensure maximum flexibility and efficiency.
