Wire drawing reduces cross-section by pulling prepared wire through successive dies. Reduction schedule, surface preparation and take-up control define the delivered line, separate from merely straightening finished wire. Reduces wire through dies; inlet rod condition and take-up define a complete drawing system.

A straightening and cutting machine converts coiled wire into controlled straight lengths. The straightener, feed and cutter must work together without unacceptable surface marks or end deformation. Turns coil wire into straight lengths; straightness and cut-length criteria define acceptance.

Compression spring coiling feeds wire through controlled tooling to create a helical spring body. Wire strength, coil geometry and the required secondary operations define a complete spring-making route. Produces helical compression springs; wire and spring geometry must be defined with end treatment.

A torsion spring machine forms a helical body and controlled free legs. Leg shape, angular orientation and available bending sequence distinguish this process from simple compression spring coiling. Forms coils and free legs for torsion springs; leg geometry distinguishes it from compression coiling.

Spring end grinding produces bearing faces on suitable coiled springs. Loading support, grinding stock and heat control determine whether the finished spring seats correctly without changing its properties. Finishes spring bearing ends after coiling; fixture and end-face criteria govern selection.

CNC wire bending forms spatial components through a coordinated sequence of feed, rotation and bends. Tool access, material springback and handling of the growing shape determine feasibility. Produces spatial wire forms from stock; bend sequence and support differ from spring coiling.

A mesh welding line aligns longitudinal and cross wires and joins their intersections by resistance welding. Feed accuracy, welding current and panel handling determine a consistent mesh product. Welds intersecting wires into mesh; spacing, feeding and weld validation define the line.

A chain-making route forms wire into links, joins them and calibrates the assembled chain where required. Bending, welding and proof testing are distinct operations that must be included explicitly. Forms and joins linked chain; link geometry, welding and calibration need a defined boundary.

Bar peeling removes an outer layer of round stock with rotating cutters while the bar is supported and fed. Straightness, incoming scale and support conditions govern the finished bright-bar surface. Removes an outer layer from bar stock; surface cleanup and bar support distinguish the process.

Thread rolling forms external threads by displacing material between dies. Blank diameter, material ductility and the rolling route determine the resulting thread geometry and integrity. Forms external threads by displacement; blank condition and thread tooling define the purchase.

A bolt header forms wire-cut blanks through a sequence of dies to create a headed fastener. Wire preparation, tool progression and transfer must be reviewed together with subsequent threading. Forms headed fastener blanks in dies; material preparation and tool progression drive the specification.

A nut former transfers wire-cut blanks through successive stations to create the body and hole features of a nut blank. Transfer orientation and piercing differ from bolt-heading processes. Produces nut blanks with pierced or formed features; transfer tooling differs from bolt heading.

Screw point forming creates a specified end geometry on a previously prepared fastener blank. Feeding orientation, material condition and the chosen forming or cutting method determine the equipment scope. Creates a fastener point after upstream forming; point geometry and feed presentation govern choice.

Tube coiling forms continuous tubing into repeated helical or planar coils. Tube support, springback and the eventual fluid path distinguish it from making isolated bent-tube fittings. Forms tubular coils; coil shape and tube protection differ from discrete bent-tube parts.

A flattening line rolls round wire into a controlled flat or profiled section. Reduction schedule, edge behavior and tension control determine the final strip rather than width alone. Transforms wire into controlled flat profiles; roll setup and section tolerance define the process.

A payoff unit supplies wire from a coil to a downstream process while controlling delivery and tension. Coil format, acceleration and the receiving machine's demand define this dedicated module. Feeds wire coils into a forming process; tension and coil changeover define this dedicated module.

An ERW tube mill forms strip through rolls and resistance-welds the longitudinal edges before sizing and cutoff. Strip preparation, weld control and downstream inspection define a complete tube-making line. Forms strip into welded tube; weld quality and complete sizing/cutoff scope distinguish the line.
