Flat Table 3D Wire Bending Machine | 2-6 mm Iron Wire
Watch a flat-table rotary 3D wire bending machine form zigzag hook racks from 2-6 mm iron wire in one automatic cycle - every loop identical with hook ends.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- 2-6 mm iron steel wire
Key Features
- Forms a full row of identical zigzag loops in one program run
- Flat table guides long parts without support jigs
- Rotary bending head reaches every bend plane in sequence
- Hook ends positioned by the same cycle, no second operation
How Is a Whole Zigzag Wire Rack Bent in One Program Run?
Short answer: On a flat-table rotary 3D wire bending machine. This video shows 2-6 mm iron wire being fed across a flat working table while a rotary head wraps loop after loop in sequence - the finished zigzag rack, hook ends included, comes off the machine in a single automatic cycle.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Stage | Equipment | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Feed | Servo wire feed along flat table | Even loop pitch every time |
| Form | Rotary bending head, indexed angles | Identical zigzag loops in sequence |
| Finish | Programmed end bends | Hook ends formed in the same cycle |
| Output | Part laid out on the table | Long racks without support jigs |
Key Applications
- Display and storage racks (trouser, towel, pot racks)
- Zigzag spring separators and guard wires
- Hardware and shelving accessories in iron wire
- Job shops bending long multi-loop parts
Flat-Table Rotary Bending vs. Cantilever Bending Heads
| Criterion | Cantilever head | Flat-table rotary machine |
|---|---|---|
| Long multi-loop parts | Needs support jigs | Table guides the part |
| Loop pitch accuracy | Drifts with wire push-back | Servo feed holds pitch |
| Bend planes | Limited by head reach | Head indexes through all planes |
| Setup per new rack | Mechanical stops | Program change |
FAQ
Which wire sizes does this flat-table bender handle? The machine class covers 2-6 mm iron or steel wire; the shown part is bent within that range.
Can it add hook or loop ends to the rack automatically? Yes - end features are just more bend steps in the same program, as the video shows.
Is changing from one rack design to another expensive? No new machine is needed: adjust the program and matching pin tooling, and the pitch, loop count and ends change over in minutes.
