Fruit Basket Handle Bending Machine | 8 mm Steel Wire
Watch an 8 mm Q235 wire bending machine form fruit basket carrying handles in one cycle - rotary 3D bending from coil stock, identical handles part after part.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- 8 mm Q235 low-carbon steel wire from coil
Key Features
- Forms the full stepped basket handle in one automatic cycle
- Heavy-gauge 8 mm wire handled without deflection between bends
- Coil feed and cut-to-length built into the station
- Programmed bend angles keep every handle square and parallel
How Are 8 mm Steel Basket Handles Bent in One Cycle?
Short answer: On a CNC 3D wire bending machine fed from coil. This video shows 8 mm Q235 wire straightened, cut and wrapped through every bend of a stepped fruit-basket carrying handle in a single automatic cycle, producing identical handles part after part.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Stage | Equipment | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Feed | Coil straightener and servo advance | Correct wire length at the die |
| Form | Rotary bending head with forming pins | All handle bends, one cycle |
| Cut | In-line cutting at the station | Clean square wire ends |
| Output | Finished handles stacked flat | Identical geometry per batch |
Key Applications
- Fruit and vegetable basket carrying handles
- Cart, crate and storage-box wire handles
- Step brackets and U-frames of similar heavy-wire geometry
- Hardware makers replacing manual press bending
Heavy-Wire 3D Bending vs. Separate Cut-and-Press Steps
| Criterion | Cut then press bends | Single-cycle 3D bending |
|---|---|---|
| Handling between bends | Manual re-fixturing | None |
| Squareness of handle legs | Operator dependent | Program controlled |
| Cycle output | Low | One handle per cycle |
| Tooling | Multiple press dies | One bending head and pins |
FAQ
Can this machine bend other handle sizes besides 8 mm? Yes - the same 3D bending platform covers common heavy-wire sizes; the die pins and feed program are matched to the wire gauge.
Does it cut the wire from coil automatically? Yes, the station straightens from coil, advances to length and cuts as part of the cycle.
Are the bent handles consistent enough to drop straight into assembly? The video shows flat-stacking identical handles; bend angles come from the CNC program, so parts fit baskets without rework.
