How Are Automotive Steel Wire Clips Bent in One Automatic Cycle?

Short answer: On a 2D/3D CNC wire bending machine. This video shows straight steel wire being fed into a rotary multi-axis forming head that bends a flat automotive clip with hooked ends in a single automatic cycle - every part comes off with the same accurate geometry.

FAQ

What kind of parts can this wire bending machine produce? Flat and spatial wire shapes such as automotive clips with hooked ends; the forming tooling is matched to each part program.

Does the machine need an operator to handle every part? No. The wire feeds and forms automatically, so one operator can supervise multiple machines on a production line.

Can it switch between different wire parts quickly? Yes - change the tooling and load the matching CNC program, and the machine runs the new part geometry with the same cycle accuracy.
