changing, and wire coils, wire diameters, wire and mesh dimensions. Equipped with the patented “Automatic Wire Orientation System”, which allows the use of a high speed roller straightening module for line wire feeding, the “AWOS” absorbs all wire straightening imperfections from the roller straightener. This unique Automatic Wire Orientation System ensures perfectly flat mesh panels regardless of wire and straightening quality. It is fully programmable and capable of processing all types of material, smooth or ribbed. A single coil replaces all line wire de-coiling stations, where a double line and cross wire de-coiling station ensures continuous operation. As a result, minimal stock of wire spools and coils is required and the necessity for large stock of ready mesh as in conventional welding lines is eliminated. Multiple diameter changes during one day/shift can be achieved efficiently due to single coil line wire feeding.

cutting machines with automatic diameter changing system (patented) or from pre-cut wires/bars. Equipped with single or double Y-axis programmable, servo-motor driven welding head configuration with four or eight welding points (PL X-Y AMM series) or multi-head configuration with up to 81 fixed welding heads (PLC AMM series), the new AKK welding line has set new standards in mesh production. This innovative design eliminates all idle times and at least doubles productivity in comparison to conventional welding lines. All advantages from off-coil and pre-cut welding machines and more are combined in one machine. The AKK Series is capable of producing large and small orders consecutively without any downtime. The concept behind the AKK series allows automatic mesh spacing and dimensions changes, making it the only flexible high production coil-fed mesh welding line, as it can produce all mesh types instantly without any adjustments. It also offers a compact system layout requiring minimum floor space requirements. Benefits include no downtime when

EUROBEND is setting new standards in mesh production by offering the “AMM” and “AKK” series of innovative flexible mesh welding lines covering every mesh application. Both the AMM and AKK are well established and can be found operating in leading precast and mesh producing companies in Europe, Russia, the Middle East and North America. Different models are available for both the economic and high output production of mesh, offering maximum flexibility without changeover adjustments, due to unique design and functionality of the wire feeding and welding module. They are designed for the production of standard and customised mesh designs and sizes, allowing the welding of uneven line and cross wire lengths and different line and cross wire diameters within the same panel, and mesh used in various precast wall panels with openings (for doors and windows) due to the servo-driven moving welding head. Depending on the machine version, line and cross wires are fed fully automatically from two Flexi-line Rotor straightening and
