Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)
1. What is the difference between a mesh angle bead and a standard angle bead?
A standard angle bead has solid metal flanges, while a mesh angle bead uses a mesh, expanded, or perforated wing that improves mechanical keying with plaster or render and reduces cracking at corners.
2. Can one roll forming machine produce different mesh angle bead sizes?
Yes. Many automatic lines use interchangeable rollers or adjustable spacers to produce different leg widths and mesh wing widths, though extreme profile changes may require dedicated tooling.
3. Which material is best for render mesh angle bead?
Galvanized steel is most common for general render; stainless steel is preferred for humid or coastal areas; aluminum is lighter but softer. Material choice affects roller pressure and machine settings.
4. How fast is a mesh angle bead roll forming machine?
Standard lines run about 10–25 m/min. High‑speed configurations with servo feeding and flying shear can exceed 30–40 m/min depending on profile complexity.
5. Do I need separate equipment for mesh welding?
If you use pre‑made wire or fiberglass mesh, the roll forming line can include an inline welding or bonding station. If the wing is expanded or perforated from the same coil, the machine performs punching/expansion before final forming.
