IDEAL since 1923 – Your partner for resistance and laser welding machines

As a technology leader, IDEAL has been designing and producing welding machines in Germany since 1923. We offer worldwide service for the maintenance and repair to our customers. The head office situated in Lippstadt (North Rhine-Westphalia) features the administration,
commercial and technical departments as well as the project management and design offices. Our mechanical production is equipped with a modern fleet of machines and delivers high-grade individual components with the greatest of precision.

At the second location in Lippstadt, the machines are set up in the assembly halls, the hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems are installed and subsequently the functional testing is performed. The test operation with customer material is also carried out here in order to prepare the final inspection and training of the customer personnel in an optimal manner.
We seek to meet your expectations.

Type GA mesh welding machines

IDEAL mesh welding machines are in widespread use in the wire goods industry.

Leading manufacturers of wire goods rely on IDEAL machines in order to be able to fabricate the base grids for their products in a flexible and economical manner.

When required, IDEAL automatic production lines perform additional processes such as punching, embossing, bending, etc. on the product, ensuring that a finished product is achieved at the end of the line.
They are, for example, ideally suited for the production of fences and industrial mesh in single or double wire for 2D, 3D, 358, grates or machine protective grating as well as for the production of cable trays or mesh floors.
Subsequently, only the finish / surface coating has to be performed.

Quite traditional – jig welding machines are utilised in these applications

IDEAL mesh welding machines are used by leading manufacturers for the welding of wire goods for various products.

Among others, they are used for

The technology of the mesh welding machine

Depending on the particular welding task and requirements, alternating current, direct current or medium frequency technology is used.

As a result of the concentration of the current to the respective cross point, straight, distortion-free and dimensionally accurate grates are achieved.

Furthermore, with the programmable cascading of individual welding areas, the use in production facilities with limited power supply is also possible.

Modular construction – fulfills your requirements

Extensive experience with resistance welding technology and the mesh production, a close, cooperative collaboration with our customers, the cooperation with technical universities and research institutes as well as an instinct for technology trends form the foundation of our high innovative strength.

The basis of our development work lies in the continuous further development of our well proven machines with a focus on the best customer benefit and maximum efficiency.

We offer our customers various modularly constructed model lines of welding machines, which fabricate mesh made up of diverse types of aligned wires that have been cut to length. In the course of this – to your benefit – particular attention is paid to the versatility and flexibility of the machines.

Due to the quick, easy conversion during product changeovers, they are suited for both large-scale series as well as for medium to small batch numbers.

The modules of the mesh welding machine GA

The welding portal forms the centre of the mesh welding machine.

For a completed wire product to be created, the loose wires, flat bars and frames must be supplied to the welding portal and the welded products must be transported out of the welding portal.

Subsequently, additional fabrication steps such as punching, embossing, bending, etc. can be arranged in an automated production line, in order to achieve a completed product at the end.
