Advertised as the fastest wire bending machine in the world, the AFE-2D6 ULTRA CNC Wire Bender from Automated Industrial Machinery, Inc can create a variety of perfectly bent shapes in a ridiculously short amount of time: hooks, zig zags, squares, circles, and more.
The precise, repetitive nature of wire bending is pretty fascinating to watch, even when the machines aren’t operating at record speeds. Check out a demo video showcasing “wire production with robot integration and an automated secondary press operation.”
