What is an Angle Bead Mesh Machine?

An Angle Bead Mesh Machine is an automated industrial production line that manufactures metal corner beads with expanded metal mesh in a continuous process. It transforms coiled metal strip into finished "L"-shaped or "V"-shaped profiles used to reinforce and protect corners in drywall, plaster, stucco, and EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) installations.

How Does a Corner Bead Roll Forming Machine Work?

The fully automated process ensures consistency and high output:

Decoiling: A coil of metal is mounted and fed into the line.
Punching & Mesh Forming: A punching unit creates the expanded metal lath pattern on the strip.
Roll Forming: The strip passes through a series of precision roller dies (typically 10–20 stations) that gradually shape it into a sharp 90-degree angle.
Cutting: A hydraulic or servo cutter trims the continuous profile to set lengths.
Output & Stacking: Finished beads are automatically counted and stacked for packaging.
