5mm 201 Stainless Rod Bending for Tie Rods and Handles
CNC wire forming of 5mm 201 stainless steel rods into angled tie rods and handles. Finished parts verified against dimensioned drawings for repeatable accuracy.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- 201 stainless steel rod, 5 mm diameter
Key Features
- Bends 5mm stainless rods to drawing angles in one cycle
- Offset crank angles held within tight tolerance
- Batch parts laid against print for instant QC
- Clean stainless surface without clamp scuffing
How Accurate Can CNC Bending Make 5mm Stainless Tie Rods?
Short answer: Drawing-accurate. This video shows 5mm 201 stainless steel rods bent into angled tie rods and handles, then laid directly onto the dimensioned print for verification - every part matches.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Step | Operation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rod formed on CNC head | Crank angles per program |
| 2 | Parts lined up | Uniform rows of identical rods |
| 3 | Placed on drawing | Angles and lengths match print |
Key Applications
- Automotive pull rods, linkages and latch levers
- Appliance and cabinet handles
- Machine adjustment rods and control levers
Why Verify on the Drawing?
| QC method | Speed | Skill needed | Catches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overlay on print | Seconds | None | Angle + length drift |
| CMM measurement | Minutes | Operator | Full 3D error |
| Go/no-go gauge | Seconds | Setup | Single dimension |
FAQ
Can the machine hold multi-plane crank angles? Yes - the 3D forming cycle sets each bend plane in sequence without re-fixturing.
What other diameters work on this platform? From fine wire up to 12 mm solid rod, depending on tooling and material.
