Stand 215
The newest mesh welding line for the
production of standard, customised,
precast mesh and mesh with openings
used in wall panels is equipped with
Eurobend’s patented wire feeding system,
which ensures elimination of diameter
change-over dead-times.
Any type of mesh can be produced
instantly without manual adjustments.
Di erent models are available for
both the economic and high output
production of precast mesh, o ering
maximum exibility without changeover
adjustments.
Designed for the production of standard
and non-standard mesh designs and
sizes, these allow the welding of uneven
line and cross wire lengths and di erent
line and cross wire diameters within the
same mesh, and mesh used in various
precast wall panels with openings (for
doors and windows).
Depending on the machine version, line
and cross wires are fed fully automatically
from two exi-line rotor straightening
and cutting machines with automatic
diameter changing system (patented) or
from pre-cut wires/bars.
Single or double Y-axis programmable,
servo-motor driven welding head
con guration with four or eight welding
points (PL X-Y Series) or multi-head
con guration with up to 81 xed welding
heads (PLC AMM Series).
Cold or hot rolled wires up to 20mm from
or pre-cut bars or coils can be processed
automatically by the machines. The
productivity of the PL X-Y Series ranges
up to 2,200m2 with single four-point
moving welding head, or up to 3,800m2
with double four-point moving welding
head.
The PLC AMM Series is equipped
with xed welding heads with either
single or double cross wire feeding
system. Available optional modules
include:
• Mesh bending modules, which can
be installed inline with the welding
line for the automatic production of
bent mesh used in various precast
applications
• Robotic transportation systems to
automatically move the produced
meshes from the mesh collector to
the precast moulds

In June 2016, Coats acquired Gotex,
a Spain-based company which
designs and manufactures high-tech
industrial yarns and tapes used in the
telecommunications, energy and oil
and gas sectors. One year later, Gotex
has gone from strength to strength and
is performing ahead of management
expectations.
The company has seen growth in two
speci c areas:
• Gotex’s breglass products
complement Coats’ aramid, ripcord
and binder product range. Together
they have become a stronger
combined player and increased
market share in the bre optics sector
• Gotex’s tapes manufacturing capacity
and aramid reinforcement innovation
are natural synergies for composites.
Combining Coats’ carbon composites
o ering with Gotex’s tape innovation
provides customers with an optimal
and advanced solution
