Types of Expanded Metal Machines

Micro Expanded Metal Machine – Precision Mesh Production

RKM micro expanded metal machines, including TG10, 6.3T, 16T and 25T models, are designed for producing precision micro expanded metal from thin metal sheets. Depending on the model and mesh specification, these machines can process materials such as copper, aluminum, nickel and thin steel sheets. High-precision servo feeding and customized punching dies enable consistent small mesh openings for applications including filtration, battery components, electronics and precision industrial mesh.

Standard Expanded Metal Machines – General-Purpose Mesh Production

RKM standard expanded metal machines include 30T, 35T and 40T models for producing general-purpose expanded metal from different sheet materials. Depending on the model and material, they can process different sheet thicknesses, working widths and mesh specifications. By changing the punching die, manufacturers can produce diamond, hexagonal and other expanded mesh patterns for applications such as security fencing, architectural ceilings, machine guarding and ventilation mesh.

Heavy Duty Expanded Metal Machines – Walkway & Grating Production

RKM heavy-duty expanded metal machines, including 100T, 160T and 260T models, are designed for producing thick and high-strength expanded metal for demanding industrial applications. Depending on the machine model and material, they can process thicker steel plates for products such as industrial walkways, platforms, grating, stair treads and heavy-duty security mesh. Machine tonnage is selected according to the material, sheet thickness, working width and required mesh specification.

Technology of Expanded Metal Machine

1.(Germany) Siemens Touch screen + PLC control + (France Schneider) switch, reliable quality.
2. (Taiwan) A Delta inverter to adjust working speed flexibly and save some electricity.
3. Pneumatic clutch brake + main motor to stop the machine faster.
4. Servo motor to help material feeding, more precise and works faster than before.
5. Alloy cutter mold can be made of Cr12#1 or YG-8 hardened tool steel, with a life of up to one year.
6. Key parts adopt a copper bush to decrease wear-out.
7. Central lubrication system to decrease wear and make maintenance easier.
8. Two-year hardened Cast steel base and frame, shock-resistant and working smoothly.
9. A reliable oil-water separator for the machine to work smoothly.

Expanded Metal Production Line Solution

A complete expanded metal production line includes coil feeding, expanding, flattening, and cutting. This integrated solution improves productivity and ensures consistent mesh quality.

Expanded Metal Machine Price

The price of an expanded metal machine depends on the required machine tonnage, sheet material, sheet thickness, working width, mesh specifications, production capacity and automation level. A high-speed machine for thin copper or aluminum mesh requires a different configuration from a 160T or 260T heavy-duty machine for industrial grating.

Expanded Metal Mesh Patterns & Finished Products

Our CNC wire mesh stretching lathes are highly flexible, allowing the production of various mesh patterns simply by changing the precision punching dies: standard rhombuses, hexagons (honeycomb), Gothic and scaly patterns, as well as micro-mesh, raised and flat patterns.

FAQ:

Q: 1. What is an expanded metal machine?

A: An expanded metal machine is industrial equipment used to cut and stretch metal sheets into diamond, hexagonal or other mesh patterns. The machine combines material feeding and punching/expanding to produce expanded metal for filtration, architectural, fencing, walkway and industrial applications.

Q: 2. What sheet thickness can an expanded metal machine process?

A: The available sheet thickness depends on the machine model, material, working width and mesh specification. RKM offers machines for thin precision mesh through heavy-duty expanded metal and grating. For thicker steel plate, you typically need a higher-tonnage machine.

Q: 3. Which expanded metal machine should I choose?

A: The correct machine depends on your material, sheet thickness, sheet width, LWD, SWD, strand width and required production capacity. Micro machines are suitable for thin precision mesh, while standard and heavy-duty models are designed for general expanded metal and industrial grating.

Q: 4. Can one machine produce different mesh sizes?

A: Yes. Just need to replace the mold.

Q: 5. What materials can the machine process?

A: Depending on the machine configuration, expanded metal machines can process materials such as carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper.

Q: 6. What is the difference between light-duty and heavy-duty expanded metal machines?

A: Light-duty machines are mainly designed for thin sheets and lighter expanded mesh, while heavy-duty machines use higher punching force and stronger machine structures for thicker steel plate, walkway mesh and industrial grating. The correct type should be selected according to your actual finished product.

Q: 7. How do I choose the correct machine tonnage?

A: Machine tonnage is determined by several factors, including material type, sheet thickness, working width, LWD/SWD and strand width. Thicker or stronger materials generally require greater punching force.

Q: 8. How much does an expanded metal machine cost?

A: The expanded metal machine price depends on machine tonnage, working width, material thickness, production speed, punching dies, automation level and auxiliary equipment.

Q: 9. Can RKM provide a complete expanded metal production line?

A: Yes. RKM can provide a complete expanded metal production solution with the main expanded metal machine and suitable auxiliary equipment, such as decoiling, flattening, leveling, slitting, cutting or recoiling systems, according to the required finished product and automation level.

Q: 10. What information is required for a machine quotation?

A: For an accurate machine recommendation and quotation, please provide your material, sheet thickness, sheet width, LWD, SWD, strand width, required production capacity and factory voltage. A drawing or sample photo of the finished expanded metal is also helpful for confirming the machine and punching-die configuration.
