Described is a method of producing wire-mesh mats (G) from criss-cross longitudinal (L) and transverse (Q) wires welded together at the crossing points. The longitudinal wires (L) are drawn continuously from a feed into a buffer store (4) from where they are fed further. The longitudinal wires (L) in front of the welding line (X-X) in the welding machine (7) are clamped at their front ends to additional longitudinal wires (L) drawn from the feed through the buffer store (4) and brought into position. All the longitudinal wires (L) are then displaced horizontally, in front of the welding line (X-X), at right angles to their longitudinal axis to give a predetermined spacing, and predetermined longitudinal wires (L) are fed, together with transverse wires (Q), on a cyclic basis, to the welding line and a selectable length cut off from the wire feed. The welded mat (G) is pulled out of the welding machine on a cyclic basis at the same time as the longitudinal wires are fed in and finally stacked. |
