Why this solution for OEM quality & cost efficiency
- Strong, lightweight grids deliver high stiffness-to-weight for shelves, cestas, and guards.
- Process fit for scale: resistance spot welding at intersections + automated forming keeps takt time low and dimensional repeatability high.
- Finish durability: powder, vinyl dip, zinc plating to ASTM B633, and e-coat options balance cost vs. corrosion performance.
- Documented QA: dimensional reports, FAI, PPAP basics, and traceability accelerate approvals and audits.
Industrias típicas & aplicaciones
- Appliance: refrigerator/freezer wire shelves, door racks, freezer baskets, fan guards.
- Minorista & mostrar: modular wire shelving, divisores, portaetiquetas, and hanging accessories.
- Industrial & warehousing: durable wire shelving, guardia, and welded add-ons for carts and storage.
- Equipment/OEM: custom protective guards and formed wire frames with interface plates.
Propiedades técnicas
Materiales, wire diameters & load categories (UDL)
- Materiales: low-carbon steel wire (CRS), galvanized steel wire, y acero inoxidable 304/316 on request.
- Typical diameters: ~2.0–10.0 mm. Common shelf/basket grids use 3.0–6.0 mm primaries with smaller crosswires to tune UDL and weight.
- Load categories: designed around UDL per shelf/basket. We optimize wire gauge, span, and rib layout to meet target loads with minimal mass.
Acabados & corrosion/adhesion performance (targets by agreement)
- recubrimiento en polvo (RAL/Pantone equivalent) for appliance-grade appearance and durability.
- Vinyl/plastic dip for impact resistance and quiet handling.
- Enchapado de zinc a ASTM B633 (service class by agreement), o e-carro for even coverage on complex forms.
- Revestimiento only when specified.
- Performance targets (típico):
- Finish adhesion: ASTM D3359
- Wear resistance: ASTM D4060
- Resistencia a la corrosión (neutral salt spray): YO ASI 9227 Targets are agreed per project and validated via pre-production runs.
Limitaciones & alternatives (brief, Si alguna)
For very high loads or long spans, consider thicker primaries, closer crosswire spacing, auxiliary ribs, or hybrid designs with laser-cut plate stiffeners. Where hygiene or aggressive chemicals dominate, upgrade to inoxidable 304/316.
Opciones de fabricación
Processes (wire forming → spot welding → light CNC → finishing)
- CNC wire forming/bending with accurate radii and repeatable geometry.
- Trimming/deburring for safe edges.
- Resistance spot welding for intersections; MIG/TIG for frames, mangos, and plate interfaces.
- Light CNC (tapping, tragamonedas, and holes) on mounting plates or brackets as specified.
- Refinamiento per spec: powder, vinyl dip, zinc to ASTM B633, e-carro. See Refinamiento.
Supported tolerances (YO ASI 2768) & interface plates/brackets
- General tolerances: ISO 2768-m unless otherwise specified.
- Thermal cut quality (if plates): YO ASI 9013.
- Optional MMC for critical interfaces. Datum strategies and gauge plans can be aligned to your drawing set.
Tipos & Geometría
Refrigerator wire shelves, freezer baskets, fan guards
- Refrigerator wire shelves: tailored grid patterns, front/back edges, and corner treatments; snap-fit or screw-on plate interfaces.
- Freezer baskets: stackable profiles, rolled rims, integrated handles; smooth edges for safe loading.

Calidad & Pruebas
Lo que verificamos (dimensional, finish tests, UDL checks) y documentación
- Dimensional: wire diameter, paso, overall L×W×H, llanura, and bracket/plate locations.
- Load/UDL: sample shelf/basket deflection vs. target load; pass/fail per agreed criteria.

Precios & Tiempo de espera
Moq, Política de muestra, conductores de costos indicativos (Sin precios duros)
- Lead-time model: prototype → tooling/fixture sign-off → SOP; production via releases/blanket orders.
- Moq: aligned to coating line/electro-plating rack capacity and packing economics.
- Indicative cost drivers: material (CRS vs. galvanized vs. 304/316), wire diameter and grid density, number of welds, added plates/handles, finish type and thickness, labeling/kitting, and export packing.
- Samples: off-tool samples prior to SOP; design tweaks can reduce cost and cycle time. Request a cost-down review via Laser Cutting & CNC Machining for hybrid plate-and-wire options.
