36 Wire & Cable ASIA – November/December 2016
SINCE 1923, Ideal has stood for
innovation and progress in the
production of welding machines and
automation, including custom-made
machine solutions according to
customers’ specific requirements.
The German company manufactures
mesh welding machines, coil joining
of wires and stranded conductors, as
well as welders for grating, fencing
and the production of wire articles
such as cable trays, covers, frames,
rings, etc.
In the procurement of welding machines
for the production of fences,
high-quality welding, automation,
resource-saving production, as well as
flexibility and minimal set-up are at the
top of the requirement profile.
The company offers various
manufacturing concepts and
configurations:
• GA-Series wire mesh welding
machines for the production of small
to large lot sizes, from simple to
complex fencing mesh for single
and double wire fencing mesh and
3-5-8 security fencing mesh
• CSR VersaweldTM jig welding
machines for the flexible production
of small batches and special mats
for a variety of fencing mesh and
decorative fencing
• Accessories for the individual
configuration of the machines
• Bending presses for automated
V-shaped bends in 3D fencing mesh
• FSD production lines for the fully
automated production process,
available in different versions
depending on the product portfolio;
for the manufacturing of complex
products and large quantities (eg,
for single and double wire fencing
mesh, 3-5-8 security fencing mesh,
3D fencing mesh, decorative
fencing, as well as customised
solutions)
One of the most important aspects of
the modular design is the fact that
modules in existing installations can be
retrofitted.
An adaptation to the welding task is
realised by way of complex welding
cylinders, different transformer versions
(AC alternate current, DC single-phase
current, 1,000Hz medium frequency
technology), as well as the possibility of
direct and indirect welds and a variety
of process-related options.
The classic cross wire weld is subject to
much higher quality requirements. In a
‘bad’ weld with a burr that is too
pronounced, moisture collects at the
cross point. A subsequent powder
coating creates bubbles in which
trapped moisture causes the cross
point to rust. Subsequently, the
hydrogen-induced cracking causes
corrosion of the welds and
consequences similar to those of
material fatigue.
To rule out such errors and in order to
meet the required quality standards,
Ideal offers not only the appropriate
hardware and software, but also the
individual welding expertise based on
almost 100 years of experience.
