Spring formers are used to form wire into springs and other wire shapes. Categories include manual and automatic spring coilers, manual and automatic spring unwinders, and in-line process control and heat treatment equipment for wire forming.
Spring and wire formers are integrated with assembly lines to meet application-specific requirements such as feed rates, spring designs and tolerances. Feed rate is the speed at which material is fed into the spring and wire forming machine. In many systems, wire is fed to one or more points from a single winding system.
Most spring formers are designed to make springs from spring steel, music wire, and stainless steel. Spring steel is a standard industrial grade steel designed for spring manufacturing. Music wire is another common and relatively inexpensive high carbon steel alloy used to make springs.
Stainless steel is a common spring material with good corrosion resistance. Spring and wire forming machines designed for use with special metals and plastics are also available.
