and double wire fencing mesh and 3-5-8 security fencing mesh • CSR Versaweld TM jig welding machines for the flexible production of small batches and special mats for a variety of fencing mesh and decorative fencing • Accessories for the individual configuration of the machines • Bending presses for automated V-shaped bends in 3D fencing mesh • FSD production lines for the fully automated production process, available in different versions depending on the product portfolio; for the manufacturing of complex products and large quantities (eg, for single and double wire fencing mesh, 3-5-8 security fencing mesh, 3D fencing mesh, decorative fencing, as well as customised solutions) One of the most important aspects of the modular design is the fact that modules in existing installations can be retrofitted. An adaptation to the welding task is realised by way of complex welding

cylinders, different transformer versions (AC alternate current, DC single-phase current, 1,000Hz medium frequency technology), as well as the possibility of direct and indirect welds and a variety of process-related options. The classic cross wire weld is subject to much higher quality requirements. In a ‘bad’ weld with a burr that is too pronounced, moisture collects at the cross point. A subsequent powder coating creates bubbles in which trapped moisture causes the cross point to rust. Subsequently, the hydrogen-induced cracking causes corrosion of the welds and consequences similar to those of material fatigue. To rule out such errors and in order to meet the required quality standards, Ideal offers not only the appropriate hardware and software, but also the individual welding expertise based on almost 100 years of experience.

SINCE 1923, Ideal has stood for innovation and progress in the production of welding machines and automation, including custom-made machine solutions according to customers’ specific requirements. 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, covers, frames, rings, etc. In the procurement of welding machines for the production of fences, high-quality welding, automation, resource-saving production, as well as flexibility and minimal set-up are at the top of the requirement profile. The company offers various manufacturing concepts and configurations: • GA-Series wire mesh welding machines for the production of small to large lot sizes, from simple to complex fencing mesh for single
