Yingshang-OEM & ODM CNC machining services manufacturer provide hardware products solution over 17 years.
What is Wire Forming?
Wire forming services is a manufacturing process, the basic principle is to bend metal wire (such as steel wire, iron wire, etc.) into a specific shape and complexity of elastic components. After a series of bending and forming, these elastic elements can have a certain spring function. According to different use environment and requirements, CNC wire forming products need to choose some metal wire with different characteristics to produce. As a wire bending manufacturer, Yingshang offer a range of OEM & ODM solutions.
What is the difference between line forming processing and spring processing?
Line forming processing and spring processing are two different processes, their main difference is the processing object, process characteristics and application range.
Wire forming processing mainly involves bending metal wire, such as steel wire, iron wire, stainless steel wire, etc., into various shapes through a series of molds and tools.
A wide range of wire diameters can generally be formed in the range of 3-14mm wire diameters.
There are many kinds of products processed by wire forming, such as metal mesh, metal pipe, metal structural parts and so on.
Spring processing is another process, the spring machine through a series of molds and tools, the metal wire bending, compression or tension, so as to form a variety of shapes and sizes of spring. But generally less can do more than 8mm large wire diameter products.
The working process of spring processing usually includes winding, wire feeding, cutting, forming, heat treatment and packaging steps. There are many kinds of spring machines, and different models and specifications can be selected according to production needs.
In addition, the two processes differ in structure and operation. The operation of the line forming machine is relatively simple, and the skill requirements of the operator are low. The structure and operation of the spring machine are usually more complex, requiring professional personnel to operate and maintain.
In general, line forming processing and spring processing are different in terms of process objects, working principles, products and application ranges. In the selection and use of these two mechanical tools, it is necessary to comprehensively consider according to actual needs in order to obtain the best production results.
