Lattice structure and a device and method for producing same

A method for manufacturing a lattice structure, the lattice structure comprising:

• intersecting longitudinal elements and transverse elements,
• intersection points being allocated to the longitudinal elements and transverse elements, the longitudinal elements extending in unifold fashion and the transverse elements extending in multifold fashion,
• wherein the transverse elements are embodied as wire strands,
• wherein the transverse elements comprise consistent winding directions, in particular before and after at least one of the intersection points and/or between at least two subsequent intersection points,
• wherein the longitudinal elements and transverse elements are made at least partly of high-tensile steel, and
• wherein the longitudinal elements are clamped between the high-tensile steel wire strands of the transverse elements by elastic clamping forces of the transverse elements,
• the method comprising:
• machine-wise opening the wire strands of the transverse elements with respect to one another in an elastic region of the high-tensile steel material of the wire strands;
• passing the longitudinal elements through the opened wire strands of the transverse elements, and
• releasing the opened wire strands of the transverse elements in order to effect the elastic clamping forces of the transverse elements on the passed-through longitudinal elements.
