Stainless Steel Printing Screen 

Stainless Steel Printing Screen .  Precision woven wire cloth is produced in Switzerland under strict ISO 9001 international certification. PFM wire cloth is woven to ultra tight tolerances for the most demanding screen printing applications. Whether for electronics, solar, graphics, or ceramic applications, PFM wire is considered of the highest quality available in the world.

SPECIFICATIONS

Ink deposit uniformity and close tolerance registration are challenges that PFM Wire Cloth is uniquely suited to address. Many years of research and dedication to being an industry leader has resulted in a wide selection of specifications to meet a variety of needs. Different wire diameters, mesh openings and fabric thickness offer a wide range of selection for your deposition needs. Within any mesh count there is a range of wire diameters to choose from. Wire diameters range from .0007 to .0045, mesh counts from 60/in to 500/in, plain and some twill weave and also type 304 and 316 stainless steel.

TOLERANCES

PFM  is unique in the position of manufacturing all their wire needs. In house control of wire drawing offers precision control that is unmatched by their competitors. This control translates to closer tolerances and greater accuracy in your printing operation. Individual roll inspection sheets can be supplied to you upon request. These sheets detail overall fabric thickness measurements in microns, from left, center and right sides at every meter of the entire length of the roll.

CALENDARED MATERIAL

PFM's critically acclaimed calendaring capability is recognized world wide as the finest in dialing in a customized calendared fabric thickness. Maximum calendaring in cases beyond 30% of the wire diameter doubled, is capable with their most advanced state of the art calendaring technology. Calendaring from "soft" = approx. 10% to "standard" approx. 20% to "heavy" 30%+, always of original thickness of mesh if possible.

CUSTOM SHEETING

For your convenience, PFM wire is available in custom sheets, cut for the maximum yield, to meet your specifications.

PFM Sceen WIRE

New generation PFM Screen screen printing meshes are capable of achieving tension values up to 50% and more above and beyond traditional meshes. Increased screen tension improves the print result, especially with lower off contact distances, and increases accuracy of registration. Unused tensioning capacity facilitates a considerably longer screen life and improvements in process efficiency. Typical tension values for meshes have been established under optimum working conditions. These should be adapted in accordance with the condition of the actual frame and tensioning equipment.

Datasheets detailing recommended tension values are available on request.
