1. Product Basic Info
130B Wire Mesh Loom Machine: A specialized automatic weaving equipment for low-carbon iron wire, galvanized wire, stainless steel wire to make industrial woven wire mesh, widely used in wire mesh manufacturing factories.
Ⅰ. Key Features
- Adopts upgraded 130B optimized rack structure with thick cast iron base, strong anti-vibration performance during high-speed weaving.
- Equipped with adjustable weft feeding mechanism and automatic wire tension control system, compatible with wire diameter ranging from 0.3mm–2.2mm.
- Variable frequency speed regulation (VFD motor), stepless speed adjustment from 20–65 picks per minute.
- Integrated automatic broken wire stop function: machine halts immediately once warp/weft wire snaps to reduce defective mesh.
- Modular spare parts design for easy disassembly, maintenance and component replacement.
- Dual warp beam configuration option for continuous long-time non-stop production.
- Compact overall layout, small floor occupation, suitable for small & medium mesh processing workshops.
Ⅱ. Core Advantages
- High Production Efficiency: 30% higher output than traditional old-type wire mesh looms, reduces unit production time greatly.
- Low Wire Waste: Precise tension control cuts wire breakage rate below 1.2%, saving raw material cost.
- Stable Mesh Quality: Uniform mesh aperture & consistent wire tightness, flat finished mesh surface without uneven distortion.
- Energy Saving: Frequency conversion motor reduces idle power consumption by around 25% versus fixed-speed ordinary motors.
- Low Labor Cost: One operator can manage 3–5 sets of 130B looms simultaneously, lowering manual input.
- Wide Raw Material Compatibility: Works with galvanized wire, black iron wire, stainless steel wire, copper wire and coated plastic wire.
- Long Service Life: Wear-resistant alloy shuttle and loom accessories, normal service life over 8 years with regular maintenance.
Ⅲ. Main Applications
Finished Wire Mesh Uses:
- Construction industry: Building plaster mesh, anti-crack wall mesh, concrete reinforcement mesh.
- Agriculture: Chicken coop mesh, crop fencing mesh, farm animal breeding enclosure net.
- Filtration & chemical industry: Liquid filtering mesh, particle screening mesh for mining, chemical raw material filtration.
- Hardware & daily use: Insect screen mesh, barbecue wire net, handicraft metal mesh.
- Road & infrastructure: Road isolation mesh, slope protection wire mesh, warehouse storage isolation net.
Ⅳ. Core Supporting Technology
- VFD Variable Frequency Control Technology: Real-time rotating speed adjustment to match different wire toughness and mesh density requirements.
- Closed-loop Tension PID Control Technology: Automatically fine-tunes warp wire tension to avoid loose or over-tight wires.
- Electrical Broken-wire Auto-stop Sensor Technology: Photoelectric & mechanical dual induction to realize instant shutdown at wire fracture.
- Alloy Heat Treatment Technology: Key moving parts (shuttle, reed, crankshaft) adopt quenching heat treatment for abrasion resistance.
- Precision CNC Machining Technology: Main frame and transmission parts processed by CNC lathe to guarantee assembly precision.
Ⅴ. Working Principle
- Warp Arrangement: Multiple strands of warp wire are unwound from warp beam, arranged uniformly through the reed frame and fixed at the loom front roller.
- Shed Forming: Driven by crank-link transmission mechanism, the heald frame moves up and down alternately to form an upper and lower wire gap (shed).
- Weft Insertion: The shuttle loaded with weft wire slides across the shed, completing one single weft wire penetration.
- Beating-up: Reed moves forward to compact the newly inserted weft wire closely against formed mesh, fixing mesh aperture size.
- Mesh Winding: Finished woven wire mesh is automatically rolled onto the take-up roller with constant traction, continuous cyclic weaving forms complete wire mesh roll.
Ⅵ. Complete Production Process for Wire Mesh via 130B Loom
- Raw Material Inspection: Check wire diameter, surface coating, tensile strength of incoming metal wire, eliminate cracked or unqualified wire.
- Warp Spool Winding: Wind qualified warp wire onto warp beam by winding machine, arrange wires neatly without overlapping.
- Loom Threading: Pass each warp wire through heald eye and reed gap one by one according to designed mesh hole size.
- Weft Loading: Wind weft wire onto small shuttle bobbins and install bobbins inside loom shuttle.
- Parameter Setting: Set weaving speed, warp tension, mesh width and aperture size on frequency converter control panel.
- Trial Weaving: Run short trial piece to inspect mesh hole uniformity, adjust tension & speed if defective mesh occurs.
- Formal Mass Production: Start continuous automatic weaving, machine auto-winds finished mesh into rolls.
- Post-processing: Cut finished mesh roll into required length, surface inspection, packing and warehousing.
Ⅶ. Standard Operation Steps
Pre-operation
- Clean loom surface dust, check lubricating oil level of crankshaft, bearing and transmission gears, replenish grease if insufficient.
- Inspect all electrical circuits, emergency stop button and broken-wire sensor for normal working condition.
- Install warp beam and shuttle bobbin correctly, adjust initial warp tension to standard value.
Running Operation
- Power on the control cabinet, set production parameters on operation screen.
- Jog the loom in inching mode to test mechanical movement, confirm no jamming or abnormal noise.
- Switch to automatic mode to start formal weaving; patrol running status every 30 minutes.
- When shuttle weft wire runs out, pause machine to replace new weft bobbin quickly.
Post-operation Shutdown
- Stop automatic running after finishing a whole mesh roll, cut off finished mesh neatly.
- Cut off main power supply, clean leftover broken wire and debris inside loom, add lubricant for next shift.
Ⅷ. Safety & Daily Precautions
Operation Safety Notes
- Operators must wear tight work clothes, prohibit loose sleeves, long hair without hairnet to avoid being caught by moving components.
- Never place hands into shuttle running area, heald frame and beating reed position when machine is powered on.
- Press emergency stop button immediately when abnormal jamming, strange noise or wire winding failure appears, troubleshoot after full stop.
- Non-maintenance staff is forbidden to open electrical control cabinet and modify internal circuit randomly.
Daily Maintenance Precautions
- Carry out daily lubrication for all rotating bearings, weekly comprehensive inspection of transmission parts.
- Regularly clean photoelectric broken-wire sensor to prevent dust from causing malfunction of auto-stop system.
- Avoid overloading loom with ultra-thick or ultra-hard wire exceeding machine rated wire scope.
- Keep workshop environment dry to prevent electrical components from damp short-circuit.
- Stop production regularly every 3–6 months for comprehensive overhaul of worn spare parts like shuttle and reed.
