Precision engineered for speed and
accuracy, Pave’s Zukron CNC rotational
wire forming machine has been
developed to produce extremely long
surface length wire products, in both
simple and complex three-dimensional
shapes, quickly and cost effectively.
Designed and built in Pave’s UK
production facility, the competitively
priced Zukron utilises the latest wire
forming technology to deliver accurate
and consistent twist- and mark-free
finished form products. The machine has
a fast, versatile 360-degree continuously
rotating head and incorporates Pave’s
‘Trueline’ front-end wire stabiliser and
patented straightening system.
Compact, robust and reliable, the
Zukron can process short and long
length wire products up to 10mm (3/8")
in diameter. Like all Pave machines,
set-up and changeover times are fast
and the Zukron’s fully automated
user-friendly CNC operation ensures
economical production.
Pave’s comprehensive range of
high-performance machines includes
user-friendly single- and twin-head
wire forming centres to suit a range of
applications.

The magnetic Transporter™CA (cylinder
actuated) from Industrial Magnetics Inc,
is designed for automated transfer or
manually operated material handling
applications of heavy steel parts and
offers numerous options for pick-up
points on odd-shaped stamped, forged
and formed parts or for complete part
assemblies.
The magnetic Transporter-CA can be
placed on robotic end-of-arm tooling,
cranes, or other operator assisted
lifting devices to ergonomically and
magnetically lift and rotate heavy and
awkward steel parts, such as springs
or cylinders, from horizontal to vertical
orientation or vice-versa.
The application pictured here is of a
magnetic Transporter-CA designed to
lift an 18lb, heavy-duty truck spring –
measuring 6" in diameter and 17" long
– out of its shipping container, and to
rotate it by 90 degrees for placement
into the assembly line.
Other applications include loading
springs and formed parts onto paint
lines, removing parts from storage totes
or bins and placing finished parts into
shipping containers.
The Magnetic Transporter-CA saves
the operator from repetitive bending
and lifting of heavy parts and helps
prevent painful and costly injuries.
The permanent magnet positively
holds springs and parts, requires no
electricity and uses minimal shop air
to activate and deactivate the magnet.
The non-marring on/off release will not
damage spring paint or coatings.
