Micro Expanded Mesh Machine

What Is a Micro Expanded Mesh Machine?

A micro-expanded mesh machine is a precision manufacturing system specifically designed to produce ultra-fine expanded metal mesh from thin metal sheets or foils. The micro-expanded metal machine specializes in producing extremely small mesh openings with high dimensional accuracy and smooth edges.

The machine operates by precisely slitting and stretching the metal sheet in a single continuous process without generating scrap.

RKM micro expanded mesh machines are equipped with precision expanding dies, servo-controlled feeding systems, and PLC automatic control to ensure stable production of high-precision expanded metal products. The equipment can process various thin metal materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, nickel, titanium, brass and other specialty alloys, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.

As a professional micro expanded mesh machine manufacturer, RKM provides customized solutions based on customers’ required mesh opening, strand width, sheet thickness, production capacity, and finished product dimensions. Our engineering team can also develop tailor-made expanding dies to manufacture complex micro-expanded metal patterns for specialized applications.
