Can One Machine Form 8mm Solid Iron Rods into 3D Cranks?

Short answer: Yes. This video shows Gonger's in-house developed 3D wire forming machine bending 8mm solid iron rods into double-crank parts, completing all bend planes in a single cycle.

What the Video Demonstrates

Step	Operation	Result
1	Rod clamped at the rotary head	Stable grip on 8 mm solid bar
2	First crank formed	Precise angle and spacing
3	Second plane bent without re-fixturing	True 3D geometry
4	Part released to bin	Repeatable batch output

Key Applications

Automotive linkages, lock hooks and seat hardware
Appliance levers, handles and crank arms
Fixture and rack brackets in steel and stainless

In-House Developed vs Generic Benders

Criterion	Generic tube/rod bender	Gonger 3D forming machine
Bend planes per setup	Usually one	Multiple, one cycle
Solid heavy rod capacity	Limited	8 mm solid iron shown
Tooling change	Long setup	Interchangeable heads
Origin	Third-party	Designed in-house, one year of production optimization

FAQ

Is this machine designed by Gonger? Yes. It was developed in-house and improved through a full year of production across many part types, giving strong capacity, stable performance and high cost-efficiency.

What other materials can it form? Carbon steel, 45 steel, stainless steel (201/304/316), aluminum (5052/6061/7075) and copper rods, depending on diameter and bend radius.
