Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, based in the heart of China's metal mesh industry in Hengshui, Hebei, is proud to present our premium Expanded Metal Mesh for Machine Guarding and Safety Barriers. With a precise thickness of 1.2mm and a diamond opening of 20mm x 50mm, this mesh is engineered to provide robust protection for industrial machinery while maintaining excellent visibility and airflow. Whether you need to safeguard operators, separate work zones, or reinforce equipment enclosures, our expanded metal mesh delivers a reliable and cost-effective solution.
Our company has specialized in the production of metal wire mesh and expanded metal products for over a decade, serving clients in manufacturing, construction, mining, and logistics. Each sheet is manufactured using advanced hydraulic pressing and stretching technology, ensuring consistent strand width, uniform diamond patterns, and sharp edges that lock together securely. The 1.2mm thickness offers an ideal balance between strength and lightweight handling, making installation easy while providing sufficient resistance to impact and forced entry.
Below we outline the key features, technical specifications, and benefits that make this expanded metal mesh a top choice for safety applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Robust Machine Guarding: The 20mm x 50mm diamond opening prevents most body parts and tools from entering hazardous zones while allowing light and air to pass through. This reduces the risk of accidents and complies with workplace safety regulations.
- Durable 1.2mm Thickness: Made from high-tensile steel, this mesh can withstand heavy impacts, vibrations, and continuous use in demanding industrial environments. Optional galvanization or painting adds corrosion resistance for outdoor or wet applications.
- Easy Installation & Customization: Sheets can be cut, bent, or welded to fit any machine frame, guard structure, or barrier system. We offer custom sizes, edge treatments (framed or unframed), and hole patterns upon request.
- Excellent Visibility & Ventilation: Unlike solid panels, expanded metal maintains line-of-sight monitoring of machinery and allows heat, dust, and fumes to escape, keeping the work area cooler and safer.
- Cost-Effective Safety Solution: Compared to welded wire mesh or perforated metal, expanded metal is lighter and uses less material while providing comparable strength, reducing transportation and installation costs.

The expanded metal mesh is produced by simultaneously slitting and stretching a solid metal sheet, which creates a diamond-shaped pattern with no material waste. This process enhances the strength-to-weight ratio, making it up to 30% stronger than perforated metal of the same gauge. The 1.2mm thickness ensures that the mesh remains rigid even when spanning large areas, reducing the need for additional support frames.
Applications
- Machine Guarding: Enclose dangerous moving parts, such as presses, conveyors, robots, and cutting tools.
- Safety Barriers: Create perimeter protection around assembly lines, storage areas, and forklift zones.
- Partition Walls: Separate work cells in factories while maintaining visibility.
- Shelving & Racks: Use as anti-slip shelf surfaces or as back panels for heavy-duty storage.
- Fencing & Gates: Secure outdoor equipment or restrict access to hazardous areas.
All our expanded metal mesh products undergo strict quality control checks, including dimensional accuracy, tensile strength testing, and finish inspection. We offer samples for evaluation before bulk orders, and our production capacity exceeds 10,000 square meters per month, ensuring timely delivery for both small and large projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard raised expanded metal has a rough, slip-resistant surface with sharp edges, ideal for flooring and anti-climb barriers. Flattened expanded metal is passed through a cold-rolling mill to create a smooth, flat surface, which is better for machine guarding where uniform contact is needed. Both are available for this product.
Yes, but we recommend a hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated finish to prevent rust. Stainless steel (304 or 316) is also an excellent option for corrosive or marine environments.
Standard tools like angle grinders, plasma cutters, or shears can be used. For clean edges, we can supply pre-cut panels to your exact dimensions. Welding is also possible, but we suggest using a backing bar to maintain pattern integrity.
For 1.2mm thick carbon steel with 20mm x 50mm opening, the approximate weight is 2.5 kg / m² (varies with material and strand width). Aluminum is about 40% lighter.
Yes, we provide free samples (200 mm x 300 mm) with the customer covering shipping cost. Bulk orders start at 50 sheets or 100 square meters, but minimum quantities are negotiable.
Standard production takes 7–10 working days. Express delivery (3–5 days) is available for urgent orders. For international shipping, add 5–15 days depending on destination.
Our expanded metal mesh is designed to meet general machine guarding requirements. We recommend checking local regulations (e.g., OSHA 1910.212, EN 953) for specific application needs. We can provide technical data sheets for your compliance review.
Yes, we can produce custom diamond sizes, strand widths, and thicknesses. Please contact us with your requirements, and our engineers will advise on feasibility and lead time.
