To stay ahead in the wire mesh industry, you need equipment that works fast and keeps downtime low. The automatic chain link fencing machine from YG Machinery helps you achieve exactly that. It weaves galvanized or PVC-coated wire into strong fence mesh at speeds up to 180m² per hour. This machine suits factories that want reliable output with minimal manual work. Read on to learn its parameters, maintenance tips, common fault fixes, and the latest technologies that boost stability.

Common Faults and Troubleshooting for Automatic Chain Link Machine
Even a well-built automatic chain link machine can show minor issues. Below are frequent problems and how you can solve them quickly.
Inconsistent Mesh Size
- Cause: The tension spring is loose or the wire feed rollers have uneven wear.
- Fix: Stop the machine and check the spring tension first. Tighten the adjustment nut if needed. Then inspect the feed rollers. Replace them if the grooves show deep wear. Finally, test a short mesh section before resuming full production.
Frequent Wire Breakage
- Cause: The wire has rust spots or the straightening unit applies too much pressure.
- Fix: Examine the wire surface for corrosion. Use only clean, dry material. Next, reduce the straightening pressure step by step until the wire feeds smoothly without snapping. Lubricate the wire guide lightly if dry friction occurs.
Machine Jamming During Weaving
- Cause: Wire ends overlap at the twisting point or the cutter timing is off.
- Fix: Clear the jammed wire manually with the power off. Adjust the twisting head alignment according to the manual. Reset the cutter stroke timing so it cuts only after the twist completes. Run the machine at low speed for five minutes to confirm the fix.
Uneven Selvage
- Cause: The selvage pin has shifted or the tension on one side is higher.
- Fix: Align the selvage pin to the center of the mesh edge. Balance the tension on both sides using the tensioning bolts. A quick visual check every two hours helps catch this early.
Daily Maintenance Tips for Your Automatic Fencing Machine
Good daily habits extend the life of your automatic fencing machine and prevent unexpected stops.
Clean the Weaving Zone
Remove wire dust and zinc flakes after each shift. Use compressed air and a soft brush around the twisting gears and cutters. Built-up debris causes friction and misalignment.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Apply light machine oil to all pivot points, chains, and cam followers every eight hours. Use grease on the main drive bearings once a week. Never over-grease, as excess lubricant collects dirt.
Inspect Electrical Connections
Check the control panel for loose wires or dust buildup once a day. Tighten any loose terminals. A simple visual scan reduces the risk of short circuits. Keep the cabinet door closed to block moisture.
Monitor Wire Feed Tension
Feel the wire tension by hand before starting the morning run. If it feels too tight or too slack, adjust the feed roller springs. Consistent tension gives uniform mesh and reduces wire breakage.
Advanced Technologies That Improve Machine Stability
YG Machinery adds specific design features to make the automatic chain link fencing machine more stable and productive. These are not standard on every machine in the market.
Independent Mesh Positioning and Release Device
This device holds the mesh firmly during the twisting phase and releases it cleanly afterward. It uses a separate cam-driven clamp that moves independently from the main weaving mechanism. The result: the mesh does not shift, and the diamond shape stays uniform across the whole roll. You see fewer twisted openings and straighter edges.
Dual-Wire Weaving Technology
Instead of weaving a single wire at a time, this system handles two wires simultaneously through synchronized feed tracks. This increases speed without raising vibration. The two wires meet at the twist point with precise timing, creating strong knots. Output jumps to 180m²/h on the YG-25-80 model while keeping the machine frame stable.
CNC Selvage Process
The selvage finishing step now uses CNC-controlled folding arms. The controller measures the mesh edge position and adjusts the fold angle in real time. This replaces manual adjustments and stops over-twisting at the edges. Finished rolls come out with uniform knuckled edges that fit fence posts easily.
FAQ About Automatic Chain Link Fencing Machine
First, ensure the wire tension and straightening unit settings match the wire diameter exactly. Second, keep the weaving zone clean to avoid micro-stops. Finally, run the machine at the speed recommended for your wire thickness. On a YG-25-80 model, proper setup allows a steady 120–180m²/h output.
Uneven tension usually comes from worn feed rollers or an unbalanced tension spring setting. Inspect the rollers and replace them if their surface is uneven. Then check the spring tension on both sides and adjust until the wire feels equally tight when pulled by hand.
Perform daily cleaning and lubrication as described above. A deeper check, including gearbox oil level and belt condition, should happen every 200 operating hours. An annual professional inspection of the electrical system and welding of the main frame joints keeps the machine in top shape.
Yes. The YG-20-100 works with wire from 1.6mm to 4mm, and the YG-25-80 with 2mm to 4mm. You only need to change the feed roller set and adjust the straightening unit and cutter clearance when switching wire size. Our technical guide shows the exact steps.
With proper maintenance, the main drive gears and twisting units last over 8,000 working hours. Cutter blades and feed rollers are wear parts and typically need replacement after 1,500–2,000 hours. Keeping them clean and lubricated extends their service life.
