Abstract
A hexagonal wire netting, a process for manufacturing such a wire netting and a device for manufacturing a hexagonal wire netting, the device including an assembly of tubes for leading the wires of which every other is twisted into a spiral shape, a spindle assembly and a drum receiving the wire netting, the drum being provided with detent elements. Between each tube leading the spirally twisted wire and the cooperating spindle a straightening guide is located having an inlet opening cooperating with the tube and an outlet opening cooperating with the spindle. The detent elements are arranged on the drum in such a way that the produced wire netting has meshes in which the proportion of the width to the length is less than 0.75.
Claims10
A device for manufacturing a hexagonal wire netting, the hexagonal wire netting comprises wires, the device comprising:
- a tube assembly comprising tubes for leading the wires, every other tube having wires twisted into a spiral shape forming spirally twisted wires,
- a spindle assembly comprising spindles,
- a drum receiving the wire netting, the drum comprising detent elements, each spindle of said spindle assembly being configured to lead one wire passing therethrough and fed by a cooperating tube of the tubes, each of the spindles of said spindle assembly being alternately translated back and forth and rotated by 540 degrees, so that the wires leaving the spindles are braided in at least 1.5 fold braids forming the hexagonal wire netting to be subsequently received by the drum,
- a straightening guide disposed between each of the every other tube in the tube assembly having the spirally twisted wires and a respective one of the spindles of the spindle assembly, the straightening guide having an inlet opening cooperating with a respective one of the tubes of the tube assembly and an outlet opening cooperating with the respective one of the spindles of the spindle assembly, and
- wherein said detent elements are arranged on the drum in such a way that the hexagonal wire netting has meshes having a width to length ratio of less than 0.75.
A process for manufacturing a hexagonal wire netting in a device, the wire hexagonal wire netting comprising wires, the device comprising a tube assembly comprising tubes for leading the wires, every other tube having wires twisted into a spiral shape forming spirally twisted wires, a spindle assembly comprising spindles, a drum receiving the wire netting, the drum comprising detent elements, and each of the spindles of the spindle assembly being configured to lead one wire passing therethrough, the one wire being fed by a cooperating tube of the tubes of the tube assembly, the method comprising:
- forming the wires using high carbon steel having tensile strength in a range of 1500-1900 MPa,
- straightening the wires that are spirally twisted in the tubes before feeding them into the spindles of the spindle assembly, and
- feeding all the wires into the spindles of the spindle assembly, and
- alternately translating each of the spindles of the spindle assembly back and forth and rotating each of the spindles of the spindle assembly by 540 degrees, so that the wires leaving the spindles are braided in at least 1.5 fold braids so as to form the hexagonal wire netting to be subsequently received by the drum,
- wherein the hexagonal wire netting comprises meshes having a width to length ratio of less than 0.75.
