TWP Inc. Provides Tight Tolerance Precision Wire Mesh Slitting

If you need a roll of metal mesh or hardware cloth in a nonstandard width, you've come to the right place. TWP Inc. carries wire mesh materials in a broad range of specifications. However, if you can't find what you're looking for, our in-house slitters are up for the task.

Slitting involves cutting a large roll of mesh into two or more narrower rolls. This expert service is highly beneficial for those who work in the engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries, as projects often require materials in very specific sizes.

TWP Inc. is proud to provide tight tolerance slitting to serve a variety of industries. Here's what you should know about the precision cutting process.

What Are Tolerances in Machining?

Tolerance (or dimensional accuracy) is a technical term referring to the acceptable variance amount for the dimensions of materials. In the context of wire mesh, tolerance is the minimum and maximum sizing limits for cutting or slitting.

Tolerances can be specified by the:

- Acceptable variance itself
- Allowable amount over or under a defined dimension
- Upper and lower limits of a material's dimensions

A tolerance band is the range of acceptable widths for a roll of wire mesh. Smaller ranges are what the industry refers to as tight tolerances.

When machine parts are sized outside the tolerance, they often can't be used. If they are used, the materials may damage the equipment or cause it to work improperly. This is why precision slitting for tight tolerances is so crucial in machining.

Slitting Services for Wire Mesh and Hardware Cloth

Before materials are sent to production, manufacturers should know the tolerances they need, as it can affect the accuracy of machine operations. The wrong dimensions can ultimately lead to slowed production, faulty products, or profit loss. Here at TWP Inc., we understand the importance of precision, and we're equipped to provide the exact right cut for custom wire mesh materials.

Our high-tech slitting machines are operated by knowledgeable and skilled technicians who know how to deliver precise widths within tight tolerances. Not only that, but you can count on TWP Inc. for a quick turnaround time on all custom requests. Whether you need a particularly narrow wire mesh spool or would like to have a large roll divided evenly, we've got you covered.
