Woven Wire Cloth Slitting and Custom Fabrication
The most frequently produced wire cloth products typically involve shearing or punching (stamping or blanking) wire cloth into circles or various shapes from a strip width best suited for the particular set up...
 
SLITTING
Standard from US stock wire cloth weaving widths are usually limited to 36", 48" and 60".  Narrower roll widths are economically achieved by either in-line or secondary slitting.
 
In-Line Slitting is performed while weaving, directly on the loom or following the looms output "in line" with the weaving as a continuous process.  This method is preferred as it eliminates additional material handling .

Wire cloth is often woven to the widest width possible in respect to the loom's capacity and maximum weaving efficiency for the specification.  As an example, most factory orders for material 24" (or less) in width are woven to 48" wide and slit into two (or more) narrower rolls directly on the weaving loom to accommodate the requirement.

Secondary Slitting is usually the first step in converting commodity width wire cloth specifications into a  customer required product or component.
 
Slitting Capacities:

Maximum Roll Width 60"

Minimum Slit Width: 0.750"
