Camless Wire Bending Machine for 5 mm Thick Wire Handles
Watch a camless 3D wire bending machine form 5 mm steel wire carry handles for storage boxes - servo blade axes shape thick wire with no cam discs.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- 5 mm steel wire
Key Features
- Camless servo blade design - no cam discs to build or tune
- Bends thick 5 mm wire into load-bearing carry handles
- Radial axes form the multi-plane handle shape in one run
- Blade positions adjust quickly for frequent part changes
How Are Thick Wire Handles Bent Without Cam Discs?
Short answer: On a camless 3D wire bending machine. This video shows 5 mm steel wire forming into storage box carry handles while radial servo blade axes do the bending - the blade positions are set in the program instead of by stacked mechanical cams, so thick-wire handle shapes come out in one continuous run.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Stage | Equipment | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Feed | Straight feed into rotating gripper | Thick wire held at the bend points |
| Form | Radial servo blade axes | Handle shoulders and grip bent in sequence |
| Adjust | Blade positions in the program | New handle shape without cam discs |
| Output | Finished handle at the box | Install-ready carry handles per batch |
Key Applications
- Storage box, basket and cart carry handles
- Thick wire grips and ergonomic handles
- Parts needing multi-plane bends in one setup
- High-mix production where cam tooling changes slow work down
Camless Servo Bending vs Cam Disc Machines
| Criterion | Cam disc machine | Camless servo bending |
|---|---|---|
| Tooling setup | Stacked cams and shims | Blade positions in program |
| Design change | Rebuild cam stack | Adjust axes on screen |
| Thick wire forming | Limited by cam torque | Servo axes grip the wire firmly |
| Multi-plane parts | Many manual setups | One continuous run |
FAQ
What makes a wire bending machine camless? Its bending axes are servo-driven blades arranged radially around the wire, so bend positions come from the program rather than from mechanical cam discs.
How thick a wire can this machine bend? The video shows 5 mm steel wire handles; the machine class covers thick wire diameters with matching gripper and blade tooling.
Which handle parts can it produce? Storage box carry handles, basket and cart grips and similar multi-plane wire handles; tooling is matched to your part on request.
