Stainless Steel Wire Bending Machine | 5 mm 304 Wire
Watch a 3D wire bending machine form triangular handles from 5 mm 304 stainless steel wire at a customer site - automatic feed, bend and cut-off.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- 5 mm 304 stainless steel wire
Key Features
- Forms triangular stainless handles from straight wire in one automatic cycle
- 3D bending head works in multiple planes without re-fixturing
- CNC program table lists every bend step and angle
- Precise servo wire feed keeps each handle identical
How Is 5 mm Stainless Steel Wire Bent into Triangle Handles Automatically?
Short answer: On a 3D wire bending machine. This video was shot at a customer production site, where the machine feeds, bends and cuts 5 mm 304 stainless steel wire into triangular handle parts in one automatic cycle - the finished parts simply drop into a collection bin.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Stage | Equipment | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Feed | Servo wire feed through guide rail | Correct wire length every cycle |
| Form | Rotary 3D bending head | Multi-plane bends without re-fixturing |
| Program | CNC pendant with bend table | Each step and angle set numerically |
| Output | Free drop into collection bin | Identical triangle handles per batch |
Key Applications
- Stainless steel handles and grips for cookware and lids
- Wire forms for shelving, racks and display fixtures
- 304 / 316 stainless parts for kitchen and sanitary hardware
- Any shop bending stiff wire that manual jigs cannot repeat

FAQ
Can this 3D wire bending machine process stainless steel as small as 5 mm? Yes - the video shows 5 mm 304 stainless wire running through a full automatic forming cycle, and the machine covers a wide range of solid wire and rod diameters.
Does the part need a second operation after bending? No. The handle is formed in multiple planes in one clamping, and the machine cuts the wire to length at the end of the cycle, so parts drop out ready to use.
Can the program be changed for other wire shapes? Yes. Bend angles, feed lengths and step order are edited directly on the CNC pendant program table, so new parts are set up without mechanical changeover of the whole machine.
