At this stage, the cut wires are bent into specific shapes and patterns using bending machines. These devices must be accurate so that the laces are produced in a precise way.
- Welding:
The wires are welded together at this stage. Proper welding creates strong and durable pleated mesh connections, and this step requires precision.
- Coverage:
Coating is done after welding. These coatings can be of different colors or polymer coatings. The purpose of these coatings is to increase the net’s resistance against corrosion and rust.
- Testing and quality control:
After the production is completed, the pleated laces are subjected to quality control tests. These tests include checking welding joints, sizes and quality of coatings
