What's the Difference Between Pneumatic and Electric Mesh Welding Machines?

When choosing a mesh welding machine, many buyers ask: should I go with a pneumatic model or an electric one? Both types are widely used in the wire mesh industry, but they differ in structure, performance, and maintenance.
Electric Mesh Welding Machines
Electric machines rely on motors and circuit boards to control welding pressure and movement. They're often cheaper and more compact, making them popular for lightweight applications. However, they tend to wear out faster. Common issues include unstable current, uneven mesh, and circuit failures — especially in high-output environments.
Pneumatic Mesh Welding Machines
Pneumatic models use air cylinders to control the welding action. These machines are more stable, especially during long-term production. Pneumatic force is more reliable than electric drive, ensuring better welding consistency and reducing defects. That’s why fence factories and large-scale producers prefer pneumatic systems, especially for 3D fence panels and anti-climb mesh.
How to Choose
If you're starting with low investment or producing light mesh (like brick force), electric machines are acceptable. But for higher-quality requirements or continuous production, a pneumatic mesh welding machine offers better long-term performance.
DAPU provides both types — and we’ve upgraded many older electric models to pneumatic versions after clients faced frequent downtime. We also support custom setups based on your mesh type and wire size.
