What does Asada Mesh Make?

Screen printing, which requires our mesh, has high printing versatility that enables you to print lines accurately down to the micron range on various materials.
As a legitimate printing technology for electronic products, screen printing has been supporting a number of manufacturing industries,
from semiconductor chips to smartphone electric circuits.
Our wire mesh is indispensable in screen printing. As a world number one in weaving technology
we contribute to industries domestic and abroad with our unique know-how based on deep understanding of the screen printing process.

Intended Uses of Mesh①

Screen Printing: Screen printing is so versatile it can "print on anything besides water and air", and it possesses such high quality that "with the appropriate screen and paste anyone can easily print 50 micron lines"

Sieving, Filtering: Foreign objects are removed with the mesh. Used in factories and plants in the chemical, resin treatment, food, medical and a number of other industries.

Design: To find new possibilities for stainless steel mesh, we offer it, with its aesthetics and weaving technology, as a useful new material in architecture, merchandise, and the fashion industry.

Factory Tour

Introduction to the stainless steel mesh manufacturing process!
We ensure that each employee is thoroughly aware of quality control.
We have introduced a variety of inspection equipment and pay keen attention to the manufacturing environment.
Let's take a look at the secrets behind the reliability of the Asada Mesh brand.

Thorough quality control system

At each entry of the factory, there is an air shower to make sure the manufacturing environment remains clean

Blow away dust and protect the clean zone!

Wire Inspection

All wires are inspected for wire diameter, surface quality, and mechanical properties according to our own strict standards. Only those materials that pass the inspection are allowed to proceed to the next process.

Mesh Manufacturing Process

Warp Wires: Warp wires spun into small coils are wound onto the large beam.

Heddles and Reeds: The warp wires from the beam are threaded through the heddle and reed.

Finishing: The warp wires are adjusted and test weaves are made before production.

Weaving: There are meticulous daily inspections as well as periodic inspections during weaving.

Cleaning: Removing dust and foreign matter from the mesh.

Calendering: This process reduces the thickness of the mesh and smoothens it out.

Final Inspection

Strength and elongation test: Strength and elongation of the mesh is measured.

Inspection of the shape and openings: Periodic measurements are taken of the mesh used in sieving as the opening size must be strictly accurate.

Thickness inspection: For products with strict thickness accuracy requirements, such as products for screen printing, we perform 3-point side thickness inspection. Sub-micron measurement is also available.

Inspection of appearance: All products produced are visually inspected for scratches and other surface conditions.

※The process will vary depending on customer needs.
