Which is Better for Your Process about Woven Mesh or Welded Mesh

Let's continue our last topic.
Welded Wire Mesh Baskets
With welded wire mesh baskets, most, if not all, of the joints where two wires intersect are permanently welded together. This increases the rigidity of the basket, making it stronger so that it doesn’t bend under heavier loads.
Welded wires are easier to put through a press brake as an assembled wire form, meaning that you can get a consistent bend in these baskets more easily. This improves the ability of welded baskets to fit into a parts cleaning machine with set tolerances.
Also, because these baskets are so rigid compared to woven baskets, the posts and other mechanisms for holding a lid in place work better on welded wire baskets (woven baskets shift around, causing lids to pop off). This helps keep parts in the basket through rougher parts cleaning cycles.
The major downside of these baskets is that they do tend to be more expensive, as welding the wire joints takes more time, labor, and resources than simply weaving them together. With the?right welding equipment, the time delay added by the welding process can be minimized.
So, which is Better for My Manufacturing Process?
If you’re looking to do ultrasonic cleaning for parts that are either very small or very heavy, then the welded wire basket is a must. The rigidity of these baskets will resist changing shape and allowing parts to fall out better than a woven basket designed for the same open space, wire thickness, and materials.
On the other hand, if you need a basket that’s more malleable, or need to control basket costs, then a woven mesh basket can serve your needs just fine.
There are many kinds of mesh baskets with high quality in our company WUZHOUKINGDA. The size also can be made according to your requirements. Welcome consult!
