Shaping machine used for bending wires incorporates pins which may contact the wires and be moved laterally to bend them.

摘要

The wire (1) may be moved forward by transport rollers (31) and may pass over a foundation plate (4) with a stop (7) to prevent unwanted sideways movement. A cylinder (11) may move forward to cause two pegs (9,10) to engage the wire. The assembly is then rotated about an axis (13) coinciding with the axis of one of the pegs, in order to bend the wire. The wire then moves forward onto a transport device (3).
