Welding Method
Mesh Welding: Process, Advantages and Application Areas
Mesh welding joins wires at their crossing points to form rigid grids. Electrodes press the wires together while electrical current flows through the contact areas. The electrical resistance creates heat, locally melts the material and forms strong welds as it cools.
Multiple joints can be made at once, allowing efficient, high-speed production of mesh structures.
It is commonly used in the automotive industry, in equipment and vessel construction, in metal fabrication, and in the construction sector, for example for exhaust systems, tanks, radiators, sheet metal parts, reinforcement mats, fence panels, and welded meshes.
Product Overview

Electrodes
See productElectrodes direct current precisely to the wire intersections to create the welded joint. Available in WIRBALIT® B (CuCo2Be) or WIRBALIT® N (CuCrZr).

Electrode Holders
See productElectrode holders conduct welding current to the electrode, apply the contact force, and ensure stable positioning during the welding process. Available in WIRBALIT® HF/N/G (CuCr1Zr), WIRBALIT® CA (CuAl2O3), or WIRBALIT® D (CuNi2,5SiCr).

Connection Cables
See productConnection cables transfer welding current from the power source to the welding gun with minimal loss. Available as air- or water-cooled versions made of Cu-ETP or oxygen-free copper (OFC).

Shunt Straps
See productShunt straps transfer welding current between the power source and moving components such as guns, arms, or holders. Made of stacked copper laminations, available in standard sizes or as custom designs.
We keep your production running
With one of the largest inventories in Europe, we supply standard formats without delay. Custom solutions are implemented flexibly and at short notice thanks to in-house development and lean structures.
As an active member of the German Welding Society (DVS), we contribute our practical experience directly to standards and guidelines. This results in solutions that meet and shape the state of the art.
In close cooperation with you, we assess requirements, identify optimization potentials, , and implement targeted measures to increase the efficiency of your processes. For us, consulting as an integral part of manufacturing.
Where standards are not sufficient, we manufacture components based on drawings, samples or as custom developments. Every solution is tailored exactly to your production and supports its long-term efficiency.
All production phases are embedded in a structured inspection system that identifies and documents deviations at an early stage. For demanding applications, we inspect components individually based on your specifications.
Our decades of experience in welding technology are reflected in every component. We combine practical know-how with technical depth to deliver reliable and durable results.
