Perfect Stretched

Maximum precision for every mesh

A high-quality print result is not a coincidence, but the outcome of controlled stretching. Whether high-strength steel mesh for technical applications or flexible polyester for textiles – our systems ensure perfectly uniform stretching distribution without compromise. Why Grünig technology?

In-house instead of outsourcing: Gain full control over quality and lead times. Our solutions pay off even for smaller production volumes.
Scalable performance: From compact stand-alone units to fully automated high-performance lines – we adapt to your space and budget.
Process reliability: Repeatable stretching values for consistent print results, day after day.

Eliminate the biggest source of error in the entire process

Precision starts before the first squeegee stroke

Stretching is the only variable that cannot be corrected later in the process. An unstable foundation inevitably leads to quality loss – measurable precision is therefore the only safeguard against rejects.

Repeatability: Defined Newton values ensure an identical foundation for every frame.
Stretching distribution: Uniform force prevents distortion and ensures consistent snap-off.
Mesh protection: Controlled force application maximizes lifetime and reduces material costs.

Process

From mesh to result

1. Analysis & selection: Definition of mesh type and count based on the specific requirements of the printing process.
2. System configuration: Selection of the stretching system based on frame size, throughput and available space – from manual units to fully automated systems.
3. Precision stretching: Alignment (straight/angled) and controlled force build-up until the exact final stretching values are reached.
