Abstract
A method for producing a wire mesh mat that consists of intersecting longitudinal and transverse wires and to a mesh welding facility for welding a wire mesh mat from intersecting longitudinal and transverse wires, comprising a clocked supply device for a sheet of longitudinal wires in an X direction, a feed device for transverse wires that lie perpendicular to the longitudinal wires and to a welding portal for welding the wires at their intersections.

A method for producing a wire mesh mat from intersecting longitudinal wires and transverse wires comprising the steps of:
- (i) feeding of a set of longitudinal wires along an X direction to a welding portal with welding units, wherein the longitudinal wires are moved and held parallel to one another in a fixed grid by releasable longitudinal wire gripper elements which can move along in the X direction,
- (ii) welding of at least one first longitudinal wire with a first transverse wire,
- (iii) Releasing of the clamping of the at least one first longitudinal wire and moving of the non-welded longitudinal wires in the −Y direction, which is essentially perpendicular to the X direction, in order to adjust the grid of at least one longitudinal wire,
- (iv) welding of at least one second longitudinal wire to the first transverse wire,
- (vii) multiple, clocked feeding of the set of longitudinal wires in the X direction and simultaneous welding of all previously welded longitudinal wires with a second and further transverse wires.
A mesh welding system for welding a wire mesh mat from intersecting longitudinal wires and transverse wires with a clocked feed device for a set of longitudinal wires in an X direction, with a feed device for transverse wires lying perpendicular to the longitudinal wires and with a welding portal for welding the wires at their intersection points, wherein a receiving table for receiving the set of longitudinal wires lying parallel to one another and with longitudinal wire guide elements is provided in a fixed grid, a longitudinal wire feed unit which can be moved back and forth cyclically in the X direction is arranged between the receiving table and the welding portal, which in turn has longitudinal wire gripper elements for the longitudinal wires, wherein the longitudinal wire feed unit can also be moved in the Y direction and wherein the distance of the welding portal from the longitudinal wire guide elements is at least dimensioned such that a longitudinal wire located therein remains deformable in the elastic range at maximum deflection.
