Wire Bending Machine for Rectangular Frame Grids
Watch a 3D CNC wire bending machine form rectangular iron wire frames for shelf grids in one automatic cycle - flat rack parts, stack after stack.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- Mild steel iron wire
Key Features
- Bends complete rectangular wire frames in one automatic cycle
- 3D rotary head forms corners without re-clamping the wire
- Touchscreen CNC pendant for quick program editing
- Straight feed from coil - no pre-cut blanks to load
How Are Rectangular Wire Frame Grids Bent in One Automatic Cycle?
Short answer: On a 3D CNC wire bending machine. This video shows mild steel wire straight-fed into a rotary bending head that forms a complete rectangular frame - all four corners and the closing bend happen in a single automatic cycle, producing stackable grid frames part after part.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Stage | Equipment | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Feed | Straight feed from coil stock | Full wire length positioned for forming |
| Form | 3D rotary bending head | Square corners bent without re-clamping |
| Control | Touchscreen CNC pendant | Repeatable frame dimensions |
| Output | Finished frames stacked at the table | Identical grid frames per batch |
Key Applications
- Shelf, rack and basket wire frames
- Grille and guard panel wire borders
- Display fixture and storage rack parts
- Batch production replacing welded frame assembly
CNC 3D Bending vs Manual Frame Forming
| Criterion | Manual frame forming | CNC 3D wire bending |
|---|---|---|
| Corners per cycle | Re-clamp for each bend | All bends in one run |
| Squareness | Depends on the jig and operator | Program-controlled |
| Changeover | Build a new jig | Edit the CNC program |
| Batch output | Slow, uneven | Fast, stackable parts |
FAQ
What parts can this wire bending machine produce? Rectangular and square single-wire frames used for shelves, racks, guards and display grids; tooling is matched to your frame size.
Is the frame welded after bending? No. Each frame is bent from one continuous length of straight-fed wire, so there is no weld joint to finish.
Which materials can it bend? Mild steel iron wire as shown; stainless and coated wires can be handled with the right feed and bending tooling.
