CNC wire forming requires machines that are programmed with specific instructions to manipulate the wire into intricate shapes, curves, and patterns. These machines offer high accuracy and repeatability, making them suitable for producing custom wire forms used in various industries, including automotive, electronics, and consumer goods manufacturing. Examples include wire baskets, grids, frames, and customized wire components for equipment.
Software is used to specify the dimensions, angles, curves, and other characteristics of the final product. The design specifications are translated into machine readable code that guides the CNC machine on how to manipulate the wire.
Metals such as 304 or 316 stainless steel, or carbon steel, are loaded into the CNC wire forming machine in either the form of coils or straight rods. These metals are then fed into the CNC machine with the setting adjusted for the specific feed rate, bending radius, and tooling options to match the requirements of the design.
Throughout the process the wire form goes through a quality control process where it is inspected for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and other quality criteria. Once the wire forming process is done, additional finishing processes such as trimming, deburring, or surface treatment may be performed to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the wire form.
Overall, CNC wire forming combines advanced technology with precise programming handled by capable engineers to produce custom wire forms with high accuracy and efficiency.
