Ideal-Werk
Stand: 16C04
Since 1923 the name Ideal has stood
for innovation and progress in the
production of welding machines and
automation. Not only standard machines,
but also custom-made machine solutions
according to customers’ speci c require-
ments are included in the wide range of
products.
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, covering, frames, rings, etc.
Ideal will present its GAM 400 series, a
new modular design for versatile mesh
welding.
The main advantages include:
• Quick change of the welding presses
without any use of tooling
• Manual loading for e cient
production of small- and
medium-sized batches
• Combination of mesh and frame
welding in one run
• Use of jigs for easy handling of frames
• Double-tracking for simultaneous
welding of two products in one
operation
• Use of di erent wire diameters in one
step
The new Ideal GAM 400 series is ready
to produce all types of mesh, but is
particularly suitable for the manufacture
of display articles, white goods and all
articles where wire and frames are joined.
The newly integrated Siemens control
with touchscreen is a space saver as a
separate PC unit is not required. Short
down times – another advantage – are the
result of easy maintenance.
Ideal will also present a jig welding
machine with a turning and pivoting table
for wire and combined wire/sheet metal
products in jigs.
A special feature is the automatic system
for changing tools, o ering easy handling
of di erent wire pitches. This exible
machine solution is especially made for
working with various electrode forms,
geometries and tooling.
A wide range of Ideal butt welders for
the wire and cable industry will also be
on display. The revised butt welder series
for T- and in-line welds with user-friendly
graphical interfaces o ers improved
process reliability, also for non-skilled
operators.

Material usage can be determined
(volume, weight) by weighing the nished
product.
This is, however, no monitoring
control in the context of wall thickness
measurements. So how do geometrical
measuring systems help?

wall thicknesses, centricities, diameters
