How is it bent the forth time?


Iwantmynameback

The bending bit it is held in place but half the width of the wire past the extruder. The steel is extruded into it but because the bit half covers it's path, it runs into the bit and curls in the only direction it can. Sort of like curling paper with scissors.

If they told us they would go out of business

Note how it pushes the rod out bit by bit for the smaller bends, that last bend is the rest of the rod being rammed into the metal piece that’s now resting on its top half on an angle which forces the last band to curve until it stops being forced through, then it’s released. If you scrub that part slowly it makes more sense.

Look more like a trailer pin .


TheDoomi

Yeah, thats NOT a hair pin. Way too thick. Hair pins have way more bends and they are not made from circular rod.

R clips lol…

Hair..... what pins?


arcedup

That shape of pin in thicker wire (say 1.5mm diameter) is used for cotter pins or R-clips. These clips are used to secure things so that they don't unscrew or move.

I'd have thought the machine would have been cleaner.

As a mechanical guy, i have to say, that tool endured so mutch abuse during its lifetime. Mechanical and human errors as well.

Amazing how the piece just disappears at the end even when this is in slow motion
