Stainless Steel Wire 3D Bending Machine | Ring Parts
Watch a CNC 3D wire bending machine form stainless steel wire into ring loop parts with straight tails - rotary die, touch-screen control, one automatic cycle.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- Stainless steel wire
Key Features
- Wraps a complete 360-degree ring in one rotary stroke
- Forms straight hook tails after the ring without re-gripping
- Touch-screen program sets ring diameter and tail length
- Clean marks-free bending on stainless surface
How Is a Full 3D Ring Bent in Stainless Wire in One Cycle?
Short answer: On a CNC 3D wire bending machine with a rotary wrap-around die. This video shows plain stainless wire fed straight, wrapped through a complete 360-degree ring, and finished with straight hook tails - all in one automatic cycle with no re-gripping.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Stage | Equipment | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Feed | Guide channel and wire advance | Wire presented at the die centerline |
| Wrap | Rotary bending disc with forming pins | Closed ring of set diameter |
| Tail | CNC wire indexing after the ring | Straight tails at exact length |
| Control | Touch-screen CNC panel | Program recall for repeat batches |
Key Applications
- Display racks, hooks and hanging rings
- Kitchen and household stainless wire accessories
- Retaining and locating loops in equipment assemblies
- Sample parts for wire-forming job shops
Rotary Ring Forming vs. Jig-and-Hammer Loop Bending
| Criterion | Manual jig bending | CNC rotary ring forming |
|---|---|---|
| Ring diameter consistency | Operator dependent | Program controlled |
| Tails after the ring | Extra operation | Same cycle |
| Stainless surface marks | Common | Wrap-around die protects finish |
| Batch changeover | Rebuild jig | Load program |
FAQ
What wire diameters suit this ring bending machine? Fine to medium stainless wire is shown; the same platform covers common forming ranges once the die set matches the wire size.
Can the ring diameter and tail length be changed without new tooling? Tail length and index positions change in the program; ring diameter is set by the forming pin and disc, which swap in minutes.
Will the process scratch polished stainless wire? No - the wire wraps around the die rather than being pinched, so polished surfaces stay mark-free.
