Woven Mesh Vs Welded Wire Mesh Which is Better for Your Process
Datetime:2016-08-30 Hits:
When a custom wire basket is made, there are generally two ways to hand the overlapping sections of wire: permanently welding them together, or weaving them over and under to create a loose net shape.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods of making a wire mesh basket, but which one is best for your manufacturing process’ needs?
First, let’s take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of each option:
Woven Mesh Baskets
With a woven mesh pattern, you minimize the amount of welding needed for the basket, which can reduce the overall cost and time to produce. To hold the wires together, they’re woven together in an alternating over and under pattern to create tension. These wires are generally only welded at the ends, where the wire attaches to the basket’s frame.
Aside from reducing costs, woven mesh baskets tend to be a bit more pliable than welded baskets, with wires more easily bending or shifting position in response to outside force. This makes woven mesh baskets a bit better at handling irregular contours, as the wires can shift position a bit if necessary.
Woven mesh baskets are perfectly suitable for ultrasonic parts cleaning. However, controlling the open space on these baskets can be difficult. The pliable nature of these baskets means that the amount of space between wires can vary as wires shift positions, which may allow smaller parts to fall out of the baskets.
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!
