Wire bending machine?
Wire bending machine?
(OP)
I'm looking for a machine that would bend wire, say... 1mm diameter, into paperclip-like shapes.. but not so simple as that.. imagine a paperclip, and bend it in half.. thats a bit closer to what i'd need to manufacture. If i had access to a scanner i'd show you exactly.. but alas, my explanation will have to do... The machine would need to be pretty automated to be cost effective.. anyone ever seen something that would do this? even something that could be modified to work like this would be great..
Thanks.
Thanks.

You may discover that building a fixture and manually bending the wires, or finding someone that already has a machine of this type and paying for its use might be more suitable for you.
RE: Wire bending machine?
all those links should be pretty helpfull..
And Rhodie, what i really wanted to say that i'd probably need it automated to even DO high volumes.. manpower is expensive....
In any case, thanks! :)
