What is a Wire Form?
Wire forming is achieved by applying force to change the contour of wire by bending, swaging, piercing, chamfering, shearing, or other methods. The various methods for wire forming can produce any type of shape, form, or configuration. The process starts with coiled wire that is straightened before being formed.
Typical metals used for wire forming include steel, brass, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and a variety of other alloys. The diameters of wires vary from 0.5 mm to 25mm, or .015” to 1.00”.
The types of equipment utilized to manufacture wire forms vary between manual to advanced CNC programmable machines and automated presses. Many wire forms are processed with platings and other coatings to protect from corrosion.
Solve, Source, Schedule
Over the past year’s manufacturers have realized that “soft costs” related to sourcing parts, purchasing, expediting, receiving, stocking and paying for inventory to be used in production, many times exceeded the value of the goods associated with them.
