Chapter 1: Wire Display Fundamentals
This section explains wire displays, covering shaping processes and various formation techniques.
What Are Wire Displays?
Wire shaping accommodates diverse sizes, forms, and finishes. Custom wire forming creates functional structures through bending and molding.
Manufacturers use low-to-high-carbon steels, plus stainless steel, copper, aluminum, brass, and alloys.
Final shapes can be painted, plated, or coated as needed. Equipment includes CFR Ring Formers, BUW Welders, K-70 Welders, and CFM machines handling 17mm wire. CNC benders are common in retail, manufacturing, construction, automotive, and OEM industries.
Rebar enables skyscrapers; filaments power lamps; springs support furniture. Merchants use various wire displays in multiple sizes and alloys for specific needs.
Products like wire shelves, display stands, baskets, and panels can be customized using advanced 2D/3D forming and welding machines.
The Wire Forming Process
Wire forming involves these key steps:
Selecting Appropriate Wire
CAD designs specify wire gauge, diameter, and type. Steel suits durable components; aluminum and copper work for lightweight uses.
Straightening
Coiled wire requires straightening to remove storage-induced stress. Machine rolling achieves this - imperfections here affect final quality.
Applying Force
Force reshapes wire into required configurations. Methods range from manual to automated using dies and cutters. Mass production employs CNC and fourslide machines.
Surface Finishing
Some products need cutting, grooving, or edge smoothing for safety and function. Not all require finishing.
Wire Forming Methods
Various techniques create specific shapes:
Manual Forming
Traditional method using hand levers and spindles with drawn/rotary dies.
Coiling
Winds wire around blanks for springs or electrical coils. Precision varies by application.
Rolling
Cost-effective for creating flat, round, or shaped components with features like grooves or threads.
Bending
Forms wire into countless configurations (0.4-16mm diameters) without waste.
Fourslide
Uses cams and horizontal presses to shape wire from four directions simultaneously.
Hydraulic
Hydraulic motors drive shaping rollers programmed via CNC for automated forming.
Pneumatic
Straightens, forms, and cuts wire using air pressure.
CNC Bending
Precision bending (up to 180°) with automatic straightening. Handles various metals (0.2-6.35mm diameters).
