How Are Tiny 1.5mm Stainless Wire Clips Formed Without Kinks?
Short answer: With hardened micro tooling and a controlled multi-step cycle. This video shows 1.5mm stainless steel wire formed into luggage and bag clips - several small bends per part, all in one setup.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Step | Operation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wire positioned on micro disc | Precise start point |
| 2 | Primary bends formed | Clean small radii |
| 3 | Leg sets finished | Clip geometry complete |
| 4 | Parts collected | Bin of identical clips |
Key Applications
- Luggage, bag and case hardware
- Appliance wire retainers and spring clips
- Display and fixture fasteners
Fine Wire Forming vs Stamping for Small Clips
| Criterion | Wire forming | Stamped clip |
|---|---|---|
| Tooling cost | Low | High die cost |
| Prototype speed | Days | Weeks |
| Strength direction | Along wire grain | Sheet grain |
| Small batch economics | Excellent | Poor |
FAQ
What is the smallest wire you form? Gonger tooling covers fine wire from about 1 mm up to heavy rod, on the same machine family.
Can the clips be made in spring steel? Yes - tooling and bend angles adjust for spring temper, stainless or coated wire.
